I don't think rotation is a problem this week, we just came out of a 10 day rest period. Maybe in a week or two we need to rotate.

I think Borri is critical for this game. If not him, then Pippo. I don't want Huntelaar to start out of pity. Let him prove himself against smaller teams, and then reward him with important games.

Sorry, if this was a reply to my post, you didn't understood me well. Yes Ambrosini is one of our best players this season, I didn't mean to put Ambrosini on bench regularly and play Gattuso, I meant play Gattuso sometimes. Gattuso just came from the ugliest injury the player can get, he still has problems with it, and he needs time to back to full fitness. Remember he was one of our best player last season, until he got injured.

I cannot believe how people quickly forgot what Gattuso did for us in all these years. One red card, one game lost because of him (though they would beat us anyway) and suddenly he's not good anymore.

People have forgotten about Rino because of Ambrosini. Ambro is in great superb form and thats why nobody talks about Rino or Flamini anymore.Ambro is currently maybe our best player,people think Ronaldinho is important,but look at the work Ambro does.He is the only midfielder that protects the defense,Pirlo cant do it,Seedorf doesnt do it,and the forwards are to busy with attack.Ambro is really a great player,he has so much motivation,really love the guy.

Gattuso can play for us in the Serie A matches,Pirlo is suspended against Catania so maybe he will get his comeback then.But for now,there isnt acctually room for Gattuso in our starting XI.We play with only one DM,and that is Ambro.

I read that Borriello will play instead of Inzaghi as he passed the pre-match test!

Indeed,Borrie will play tonight,so that is a big boost for us.Now i am even more confident we will beat Marseille,also because i just have read that Lucho Gonzales and Cheyrou will be out for this one,so we should really be all over them tonight.Just watch out for those quick counterattacks,Niang can run like hell.

FORZA MILAN!!!!!!!

I can't imagine how Milan win a match without Borriello lately.

guys will there be any links to the game? Unfortunately I have ctv and cant select what game i watch...

I'm really happy with the Inter result but kind of upset about it too. We need them to do at least better than our German counterparts to keep the extra Champions League spot in Italy and not take it to Germany. Why is it that they can maintain such dominance in Italy but look like a mid-table team in Champions League? I mean they literally couldn't string more than 3 passes together at any one time, left their shooting boots at home and all the while sat back not putting any pressure on teh barca players allowing them to make pass after pass. I think the completed pass rate of Barca to Inter was literally 2:1. What a terrible game plan set up by Mourihno.

Anyway, I'm really thinking we will get this win. I'm scared we may pull an Inter and sit back and try to counter. If we do that, the problem will be that only Pato is fast enough to counter with no other player able to help apply pressure. Sure R80 can make the pass but no one can support him if he has to hold up the ball. Plus with the addition of a possible Pippo/Hunter for Borigol, they aren't nearly fast enough to help. I just hope Leo plays our attacking game and hope Nesta-Silva can maintain their nearly perfect partnership. I think because the open play Marseille has to adopt, between R80-Pato-Seedorf-Pirlo, we are going to find a lot of space to play with.

I also hope Leo finally allows some rotation in the team as well. We need to get some guys time to play in case one of our elder players picks up an injury. We need to better integrate Abate and Flamini into the team because it's only a matter of time before Seedorf, Ambro or Pirlo get injured. Especially with their current high work rate.

Recording the game but really excited to see it. Hopefully I won't lose my voice this time like I did during the Real match. My girlfriend won't watch the games with me anymore because I'm too loud.

MILAN-OLYMPIQUE MARSIGLIA: LE FORMAZIONI UFFICIALI
25/11/2009

MILAN: Dida; Oddo, Nesta, Thiago Silva, Zambrotta; Pirlo, Ambrosini; Seedorf; Ronaldinho, Borriello, Pato.
OLYMPIQUE MARSIGLIA: Mandanda; Bonnart, Diawara, Heinze, Taiwo; Cissè, Cheyrou; Abriel, Lucho Gonzalez, Niang; Brandao.

I don't like seeing borri play.

We shouldn't risk him, and must give Hunter more playing time.

Leo is showing that he is a good coach, but he MUST rotate. He mustn't play the same team week after week, after week.....

Nonetheless, FORZA MILAN!!

Still no Flamini

I would like to see rotation too, unfortunately, we can't do anything without Borriello, that's the reality. Since this is arguably the biggest game so far, this is the game to risk for. We can always play Huntelaar against Catania.

9 minutes to go!

Anyone have some stream links please?

Thanks..

We need to control in midfield to win the game. Marseille will try to physically dominate us so we must keep the ball and control the tempo.

I think the lineup is fine. It's essentially been our first team since we started getting results, so while I'd like to see Flamini and Huntelaar get chances, there's little point in changes what's not broken.

Anyone chasing links can find a number here:
