Parma - Milan, September 17th

Guys who is Parma`s main striker this year...

I am hoping for:
Dida
Bonera, Simic, Billy, Janku/Favali
Brocchi/Gattuso, Pirlo, Seedorf
Kaka Gorky/Janku
Gila

a X-tree with lots of creativity would work well I think and will also take some load of a 2nd string defence for us. Would wanna see Janku either at LB - and Gorky next to Kaka - or, if not that, then Favalli at LB and Janku next Seedorf and Kaka behind Gila ... in the Milan-AEK game I saw Gorky rub his hamstring so I am not sure if 2 games in a matter of 3 days would be a good thing for him.

I think it's Igor Budan - pretty good player IMO ... he impressed me a lot when he was playing for Atalanta in Serie A. He is pretty tall and physically strong and has excellent technique for a player of his size ... also has striken me as a very intelligent player and at some point I was actually hoping Milan would go for him
So no Nesta and Maldini/Kaladze could be a bit of a problem vs Budan ... our best bet would be to get hold of that midfield and not let Parma's supporting players create too many opportunities/good crosses for him.

hey, I didn't mean to blame or anything for that info ... plus, by comparing the time of the different news, Nesta was ruled out of the game in a matter of a couple of hours or so.
And you don't need to apologize cause Jim was the only one, who took the bait

Bonera might be used as a CB cuz he's more effective there. Simic/Costacurta/Cafu might play in RB role. Brocchi played 2 games in a row, I dont think we'll see him here. This is wat i think:

Dida

Cafu - Bonera - Simic - Jankulovski

Gattuso (or Ambro) - Pirlo - Seedorf

Gourcuff (Kaka)

Gila - Inzaghi

Yes i remeber now, he was the one who scored against Torino, He can be harmfull, we really should be carefull cuz we had some troubles in the past with Parma and their alone strikers, for instance Gila and Corradi were serious threads to us in the past, As I reacall Corradi scored twice in the last game agains us!!!

I believe Cafu hasnt been even included in the squad that would travel to Parma tomorrow ... but Simic at RB and Bonera at CB is also a good option, I think. Still, I would expect Carlo to put Bonera at RB cause he is better than Simic at going forward when needed ... and has better crosses too.

according to this:
http://myp2p.eu/Matches/Match5.htm

the game will be on CCTV Soccer (PPLive and TVAnts) and UBC36 Super Action (TVAnts).
I would expect that some other channels would show it too but an updated shcedule will become available a little before the game itself.

P.S. And no, Jaime, I am not on commission

Whats wrong with calling him Gourcuff, I think its a cool name. What would you guys do if that Van Venigoor of Hessilink dood came to Milan
Regardless, the Gorky name is just terrible, its way too dorky LOL.

Back to the game, Im thrilled about Carlo's apparent embracing of using more players this season. Especially if it means we get to see more of the likes of Janku. To win the Scudetto, Inter would have been aiming to win their first few games and frustrate us. They are really going to feel the pressure, between now and Christmas.

I think it'll be close to that or at least i hope it will be. Assuming of course all the injuries, colds, temperatures, etc stay as they are.

Am i missing someone? Because only having Gorcuff & Boriello as attacking subs looks really lightweight to me.

Hi Jim,

Looks like thatNesta would not playing as I read somewhere that he has a "gluteus muscle" problem...but dunno if he's recovered by today..

IMHO, our squad has a very large variation for the players to be on the pitch, so nothing to be much of a worry against Parma.
They also quite tired after their game against the Russian at UEFA Cup...

Just cross the fingers so that thegap with the Honoured Scudetto Holeder bacomes only 6 points (Milan will only -2 if we win tonight)

Poor Inter...Mancini is asking for another chegues to Moratti to buy new players in January....what the hell is he thinking....Maybe yess.....Moratti would issue a cheque for Mancini for him to leave for good

The Tardini has always been a tough stadium for Milan. I Believe we will narrowly win this one.

Jim you asked who you were missing. Its Pippo.

Pippo needs rest, we can field Gila-Olivera-Kaka or even better field Gila-Kaka-Goucuff. For defence any combination will not make much defference, we have to take the game offensively. I go for this:
Dida
Simic-Bonera-Billy-Janky (Kalaz in for Billy around 65-70 minute)
Pirlo-Seedorf-Brocchi-Kaka (Gourcuff & Ambrosini in for Kaka and Olivera)
Olivera-Gila

We win by 2-0 or 3-1

The defence could be something like that
Bonera - Simic - Costacurta - Janku
and in miedfield
Ambrosini - Pirlo - Seedorf

I would prefer Gourcuff over Ambrosini , i don't think Ancelotti would put in first squad Ambrosini and leave Gourcuff in bench after a great game in CL , or better will be Gattuso to start or Brocchi and later one of them to be substitued by Gorky .
IMO Carlo should give some minutes to Borriello in this game so he could show himself .
Gila/Oliveira - could be the partners in start of this game

Thanks good I don't need any link for PPstream or anything , a TV here is showing the game so they did in first game . Froza Milan
