Simply not true. Be objective man, Paolo cant play lb properly anymore. we'll see how ge will play today in attacking faze.

this match will starts by 1 minute silence and all Milan's players will use black arm band because Rossa Bossi Berlusconi (beloved mother of Silvio Berlusconi) passed away today at the age 97 years. RIP

I am so fired up for this game! I have the same feeling as if it was a CL semi-final!

MILAN! MILAN! MILAN!

Is Bobo playing? He's on the call sheet so he must be...

we have 3 threats tonight Pazzini,Mutu and Vieri lets hope we can stay strong defensivley and get another 3 points closer to 4th place!

Excellent choice by Carletto! Let Gila tire the Viola defenders with his physical style of football, and bring on Pato in the second half to use his pace against them!

I guess this is a chance for gila, his been good lately, and if he can be decisive in this game too, that will be be a good sign of improvement, consistency is what we need from him.

I dont like the line up, after having R99 and Pato playing this line up looks scarily slow.

however

if we can go one and play like this
Brochi Ambro
kaka Seedorf Pirlo
Gila

I think we have a chance, Pirlo played great last game when he was pushed a bit upfront... so lets keep our fingers crossed.

what f... is this Brocchi, Kalac and Gila alone in front this must be joke, because with this squad we surely lose are Ancelotti lost his mind, everytime he suprise me i can belive what i see Brocchi will play Pato on the bench no more for me i will pray this to sucsede or bye bye fourth place

Forza Milan!!!!!

Forza Gila!!!

Forza Kaka!!!

Forza Ambrosini!!!!

That Brocchi is playing instead of Emerson is shocking, but I disagree about the other two. Kalac is our number one now, and has been doing well.

To play Gilardino up front makes a lot of sense tactically. Fiorentina will play tight in defense, which means that we need someone strong in their box, someone who can win headers and hold on to the ball. Gila is excellent at this. And when the game opens up a bit in the second half, when the Viola defenders are getting tired, who better to bring on than pacey Pato, who can make the most of the spaces that will open up? Also Gila saved our asses in this fixture last season, scoring twice to make the final score 2-2.

Pato suffering from a minor injuyr.

Pirlo should always play further up the pitch, this way he can orchestrate things from inside the oppositions half rather than on our 18 yard line. Plus he'd be more of a goal threat higher up the field.

I know that Kalac doing well but for me Dida is our numero uno I never stop to belive in Dida and for Gila i want to say that he play better when Pato is beside him

The Viola fans whistle in the minute of silence for Berlu's mother.... <_<
