Napoli-Milan 28/10/09

Near the opposition box, Dinho is great but his work rate is something that he must works on. Actually, if the midfield has players who can move up and down the field, Dinho's work rate would not be so much of a problem.

Anyhow, I think Dinho needs to be treat like a forward instead of an attk mid.

After a poor start Ac Milan have finally got their season on track. After 3 wins in a row, Ac Milan are looking strong,

Napoli are picking up too with wins in their previous 2 games.

Ac Milan need to continue this form!

I obtained my season pass on Omnisport!! Should be a good game!

but you cant deny the fact that ronnie attitude towards football is changed, he doesnot look dead after 35 minutes, he is running more, looks a bit motivated, i am all in for his progress i wouldnt mind waiting for another 6, 7 matches til he hits an acceptable form as decent team player.

regarding napoli game well its scary, because we have a good run we just need continuity, if we manage to win, it will help us define the rest of the season really. its a turning point, beating napoli infront of their own fans will give us a huge huge boost for the serie A matches.

i am really optimistic(crazy) about winning this one game because i really think milan have the chance to be strong again, its not the quality we are missing its the atittude.

i really like the way nesta stepped up and led our team (not chievo game since atlanta game). he is a true leader he deserves the arm band. ambrosini, kaladze, gattuso and pirlo are not meant to be leaders, Only nesta qualifies, this guy was born captain at lazio and he really knows how to lead on the field, we are lacking leadership

I agree. Nesta should get the armband

Leo said that for us its crucial to win next 2 games ( first one was Chievo ). Now if we manage to win today we have Parma and MAdrid home. That would conclude one ciclus of games which COULD lift the team if are done right!

We do not have 16, 17 great players and have already lost some points we cannot afford, so we need to do "impossible" and win next 3 games!

I just counted 6,7,8 good chances we had vs Chievo and which we missed coz of the slow choices of shooting mostly. Milan needs to react more dedly in the box!

Today most likely we'll see Ambrosini and Zambrotta in first 11, and one of Borriello-Pippo. I even expect Flamini over Seedorf.

Like you said Mrki,we created allot chances in second half,we really could have trashed Chievo with 4 goals if we were more clinical.I hope we will be clinical tonight,like i said before,one change is enough to win the game.Borrie should play this one,so should Antonini!

Many sites today are reporting that Pippo will get the start instead of Boriello.

I don't like the sound of that. Maybe Leo thinks sending in Borri at the hour mark is a good luck charm...

I would rather start Borri than Pippo.

I would as well, and I can't see why Leo wouldn't start Boriello too EXCEPT if he can't go 90 minutes yet. I guess we'll find out in about an hour!!!

Let's go and own the San Paolo tonight!!!!

can't believe many of you think Ronaldinho has been good in the last 3 games... I only thought he was good vs Roma, but against Real and Chievo he was very bad. let's hope he finds his feet soon.

and I dont think that this 4-3-3 formation can ever suit Pippo (or hunter in that case), I just think that they need a 4-3-2-1 or a 4-3-1-2 formation for that type of striker to shine.

pirlofan, no offense man, but you are the most repetetive poster I've ever seen, you just keep repeating what you want to say over and over and over and over and over and over and over will you stop it already... you've said you want boriello as a trequartista and r80 out of the first 11 maybe 20 times this week, knock it off man it gets annoying after a while.. even though your ideas are unreasonable and i dont agree with them, but its just that you repeat it that gets to me... but again, no offense intended.

and about the San Paolo, when's the last time we won there? the game I remember most, is the one where Napoli beat us 3-1 two seasons ago, knocking us off the 4th spot and that was the reason we did not make it to the CL. I don't think we will win tonight, but hey I didn't think we'd win any of the last 3 games!

yah, we didn't win at Real's home ground for the past N years, then we win it.

You never know .

haha non taken. i didnt really get a response and i was curious what ppl thought. ik its a somewhat crazy idea, but i have a feeling it could work. and at most i have said it 3 maybe 4 times. not that many

i just read Oddo is probably out. I am guessing that means Antonini and Zambrotta
