FORZA MILAN

for now the game Milan-Ascoli seems to be on Caifu Sports (SIPtv) ... this channel is on PCast or PPMate. I recommend PPMate because of its better stream quality and is spyware free, unlike some versions of PCast.

Just in case that someone happens to be interested in getting PPMate , here are some links that might be useful:

I hope Jankulovski can play a part in the game, unless he's being 'saved' for the Livorno match at the weekend.

It's a bit of risk only having 2 strikers in the squad ... but i guess Kaka can push forward, although i'd rest him if it was my choice.

Gourcuff - Kaka in an x-mas tree supporting Pippo. Borriello will come on for Inzaghi as a sub later in the game I guess.

Maybe Carlo planed to rest Kaka' against Parma but after Gila's injury he decided to bring him in even that he had other options (Inzaghi,Borriello). So IMO Gourcuff should start game aganist Ascoli replacing Kaka' , Simic should start too after that great game , my prefered formation would be

-------------Dida-------------
-Cafu-Simic-Maldini-Jankulowski
------------Pirlo--------------
-Gattuso*-------------Seedorf
------------Gourcuff----------
------Inzaghi--------Borriello--

*or Brocchi
Seedorf should play in his side and not Kaka's , Gourcuff should be there this guy can make great pases (AEK game).

Hitman i'm not sure if that would be effecitve

Maldini and Simic in inverted positions... and Seedorf closer to the strikers than Gourcuff...

Handling Kaka's attacking MF role behind the strikers might be too much to ask from Gourcuff and that also right from the start. In no way am I doubting the Guy's incredible potential but it's his debut. Plus he is more of a left sided player. So just not to pressurize him too much I think he should start in the midfield with Kaka himself. Ricky can be subbed later in the match ( i.e of course if we r winning) for ambro or rino.

I`m not sure that Gourcuff is more left sided player,I would say Carlo put him there.

Its excellent that you guys are posting do many different lineups. Options is what I like and Carlo seems to have many.

To me he seems the kind of player who can play anywhere. Players with technique like him can adapt easily.

zlat i installed PPmate but i can't run it any help would be greatly appreciated

can you tell me if any problem gets reported or if anything pops up? As far as I remember, PPMate's install instructions were in english and were pretty simple - nothing too special was required.
I just checked mine and it is working properly, the server is up and running.
Can you give me some more info on the issue?

EDIT:
One thing I just remebered - some people reported problems with one of the DL links I gave you above. Try getting the .exe file from the other link and intall it again. I have China Netcom as my ISP but that shouldnt matter really

I think this would look more like it. But a Xmas tree like hitmannq8 said is also possible since no Oliveira nor Gila in the lineup.

Gourcuff did say that he is a "roaming midfielder" and that suited him. He also said that he would prefer the centre more but given the number of midfielders we have in our lineup, I think it will still be Kaka up there.

Happy Birthday mrki! More luck for the game with Ascoli!
