Matchday 4: AC Milan vs Real Madrid (3/11/2011)

Even I don't like Inzaghi to play but I still remember what Maurinho who afraid of? It is Inzaghi. He could joke but I think he didn't. Inzaghi has 'something' in Champions League. He can somehow score.

Tbh don't listen to Mourinho, most of what he says isn't worth listening to cause he's so full of bull****. Inzaghi should be, and clearly is the joker, a role he's still very good at.

If we don't score by 55 minutes bring on Inzaghi

But you listened also to Maurinho.

Yes, Inzaghi is the joker for CL, that's what Maurinho meant IMO. But we didn't use Inzaghi at all in the first leg.

Gattuso got roasted in the first game. He may be better defensively than Flams, but going forward he is a liability. Especially considering that he is often in the final 1/3rd when we are in attack. I was confused when I saw him up there and Prince further towards midfield when we were attacking in the last 2 games. That is why I think Flamini is better. We know we don't have a shut down DM, so let's just play with another defensive one, Flams, who we know has better offensive capabilities and can make decent runs.

However, no coach has seen this option yet so there must be something we are missing with Flams that they see. Maybe Ambro is the better option then? If we do have gattuso on, please for the love of god don't go so far up the pitch. You don't have the legs to chase down players anymore so just foul them while they run at you and get it over with.

I am so psyched about this game. However, I don't think I will even bother watching if Allegri fields the same team as the last Real game, as that is a guaranteed loss.

I am hoping for a 4-3-2-1 as follows:

--------------Amelia-----------------
Papa---T. Silva---Nesta---Antonini
----KPB-------Pirlo-------Ambro---
-------Ronaldinho--Robinho--------
------------Ibrahimovic-------------

Reasons:

- I believe playing Papa as a RB gives us more assurance than playing with Bonera.

- Ambrosini offers us more options in terms of attack as he's better technically and more of a scoring threat than Gattuso, as well as maintaing the defensive stability in midfield.

- Although KPB had a bad game against Juve, let's be fair, it was his first bad game this season (he is due one). Nevertheless, we need hid dynamism in midfield to handle the Real midfield boys.

- Pato could come in around the 60 minute mark to replace Dinho around the 60 minute mark and we'd revert to a 4-3-1-2 formation with Gattuso coming in for Ambro who's undoubtedly lacking match fitness too. That way, we'd bring in Pato's pace right about the time the Real players start getting a bit tired.

- I would keep the Inzaghi ace as our last substitution in place of Ibra around the 75-80 minute mark if we're still struggling to score.

MILAN-REAL MADRID, Formazione Ufficiale/Official line-up:
MILAN: Abbiati, Pato, Gattuso, Ibrahimovic, Nesta, Zambrotta, Abate, Pirlo, Boateng, Thiago Silva, Ronaldinho.
REAL-MADRID: Casillas, Carvalho, Pepe, Sergio Ramos, Cristiano Ronaldo, Marcelo, Xabi Alonso, Higuain, Di Maria, Ozil, Khedira.

So, it seems we will play with 4-3-1-2 with lazy Ronaldinho coming back to first line-up.

Where is Antonini? Is he injured or suspended? Or he is punished for his last performance?

It seems like that is the case indeed. I just hope that Pato rediscovers that integral part of football called passing.

Don't forget to hope that Thiago Silva is really ready and not forced to play tonight.

hello everyone. Any streams?

any tvu links ?

dont want to dl. thanks though

Im not that confident but i do i think can win then anyone can win a game.We need pace and power in midfield we need to get the ball forward fast and create chances clear ones , we need ibra and pato on top form , with Boateng and Flams alonside Pirlo I think we would have a much faster stronger midfield we'll see I am pumped up though.
