mrki, I think Vidic may miss the Milan game and I think Antonini isn't as bad as Abate, I wouldn't mind playing Luca for this one, I just don't want Abate to start, he is one of the dumbest players in Europe.

My formation:

-------------------------------- ABBIATI ---------------------------------

ODDO ------------- NESTA ------------------ SILVA --------- ANTONINI

-------------------- BECKHAM ------------ AMBROSINI -----------------

---------------------------------- PIRLO -----------------------------------

PATO ------------------------- SUPERPIPPO --------------- RONALDINHO


I know Seedorf is king in the big games, but I don't know, I just don't feel him anymore after he returned from his last injury. If Seedorf is fit and fine, then he should start ahead of Beckham. I dont want Zambro to play because he hasn't played in so long and he needs time to regain fitness. No Gattuso please! I also think Boriello should be ahead of Huntelaar in preference for strikers, regardless of KJH's 2 goals. However, I think Pippo is more important than those two players for this one.

Forza Milan!!!!!!! DAMNIT I cant wait!!!!!

The game is in exactly 100 hours from now!!

Here some things about the way Manchester plays...

The main formation Ferguson uses this year is 4-4-2, with two all around midfielders (Carrick and Fletcher), two wide players (Nani, Valencia; Giggs sometimes) and two strikers (Rooney and Berbatov).

But, for all tougher games, especially away from home, Ferguson switches to his alternative formation, 4-3-3, and that will most probably be their formation against us.

Regarding the starting 11, Ferguson recently used these players:

Van Der Sar

Rafael
Brown, Ferdinand
Evans
Evra

Fletcher
Scholes
Carrick

Nani, Valencia
Rooney
Giggs, Park

The midfield three are starters for sure, Scholes is more in front of the other two, he presses the opposing team's play-maker all the time, which is Ferguson's great weapon, but bad for us.

In Attack, Giggs seems to be injured, Nani is in great form and will start ahead of Valencia, and Park will start for Giggs on the left side.

Defense is a big question. Evra is safe only. Ferdinand is back from the injury and Ferguson will start him most possibly, because he can't rely on Brown-Evans pair. Vidic didn't start in the last 6-7 games, though he's ready. Evans is a safer bet, and that's great for us. Right back is the biggest question. Rafael starts most games, Neville plays sometimes, but I think that Fergie could play Brown here because Ferdinand is back and Rafael is liability because Ronaldinho is on that side. Neville can start too, because he's capable in defense, but that's less probable.

It should be noted that Fergie's 4-3-3 is different from our in a way that wide attackers help side backs a MUCH, unlike ours, the only player that stays up is Rooney, all others are behind the ball.

To conclude here's there probable formation:

4-3-3: Van Der Sar - Brown (Rafael), Ferdinand, Evans (Vidic), Evra - Fletcher, Carrick - Scholes - Nani, Rooney, Park.

We talk about Borriello, who will just with Rio and Vidic, and Dinho etc. We should be talking about possibilities of Seedorf to maybe finnally plays good 90min, maybe Bonera as a RB and someone on the left ( Antonini if Zambro is not fit).
Well I did few days ago, since I am the best at what I do, i.e predictions

This team is good enough to beat any team on any given day, even Barca and Bayern. Having said that many of you are talking about Pato being the deciding factor, well I totally agree, but one thing that will be even bigger difference maker in this tie will be our FULLBACKS. I don't trust in Abate and Antonni playing together. Zambrotta must play, to control the wide players of Man Utd, similarly if Bonera is fit, he must play as well, specially in the second leg. Also, if Pato is missing then instead of being coward & playing with Beckham & 2 DM, Leo should play Borriello on right hand side & Huntelaar in the middle. No need to be afraid of playing with an attacking mentality. Seriously guys, why can't Borrie & Hunter play together? I bet they can form a lethal partnership in Pato's absence.

Prediction Time:
ACM 2 - 0 Man Utd
Man Utd 1 - 0 ACM

I hope that Silva will be fit for Tuesday's game because I don't think Nesta could handle the back all by himself. I agree with hitmann that Abate is a defensive liability but he's all we have at the moment so we need to make sure he isn't isolated in defense because I don't want us conceding any away goals. I also hope Antonini is back especially after watching the disaster of a game Favalli had yesterday.

We have only one spot for consideration in midfieild really because Ambro and Pirlo are sure starters (and rightly so). I would have played Flamini with them because he can both defend AND attack, which is something we would need on the counterattack but I'm not sure what his current fitness is like. In the end we'll probably end up playing Rino so I hope he's up for it and gives it his all.

In attack I'd play Dinho, Huntelaar and Pato because we need that little extra quality and movement up front. With Dinho on one side, and Pato on the other, there should be plenty space for Huntelaar to exploit as we stretch their defense. Beckham, if he has to play, should play in midfield because as an RW, he's lacking the 1 on 1 quality that will be necessary on Tuesday. Pato needs to take better care when the ball is in his possession because against Udinese, I think any time he wasn't fouled, he just randomly gave the ball away and we can't afford that against Man-U. This was true of the team on the whole and we really need to be at 100% concentration for this game.

FORZA MILAN PER SEMPRE!! I can't wait for this match.

Like I said earlier, the midfield of ManU will be tricky to play against as they are all very mobile, can run for the whole match and compliment each other very well. Individually they might not have the class of Pirlo, Beck and Company, but collectively they are a better unit.

Dinho will again be double team in this match. Pato will be the difference maker but I am concern about him, as he sometime tends to do too much.

Fergie will olay 4-5-1 in Milan

Ferguson is playing mind games with Milan, how pathetic.

Milannews claims that Silva and Boriello are both doubts for the game.

3 days left!

Ferguson is saying the truth. He says we have a huge woid after Kaka' left, and that our sistem fell apart after the derby and is now recovering. That we desperately need Pato and that we have problems...

But united never won vs Milan, and the way they talk about our loss of Kaka' is kind of funny. Such fear of the "great united"!

Well .... them! Lets fight and do it again!

Thiago will be fit for Manchester. But, what do you think about Bonera on the right? Bonera-Thiago-Nesta-Antonini?
I mean, Bonera is in form, he is intelligent defender, and he played in Parma right back. The offside trap would work better with these 4 behind. So, what is your opinion on this defense line?
For middfield Becks-Pirlo-Ambro. Becks will play with 200% of power against his former club.
Boriello seems injury, and he could start from the bank. The first option is Klaas, and what I saw against Udinese is: speed. He would help more against Manchester, because he can run with Pato, and create conffusion in the defence.
Abbiati is a must for MAnchester and for the whole season.
