No Boetang?

[Kwasniefski]

Me too. I'm the same.

[Kwasniefski]

The same as Elmago99, that is.

Indisponibili: Ambrosini, Pato
Non convocati: Oddo, Strasser

My Lineup:

------------------Ibrahimovic----------------
-----------------Robinho---------------------
-------------------Seedorf-------------------
----------Flamini-----------Boateng---------
--------------------Pirlo----------------------
Antonini-----T.Silva--Nesta-----Zambrotta---
------------------Abbiati----------------------

If we need a goal, simply switch Seedorf for Inzaghi...

Forza Milan!

Perfect starting line up. With R80 coming on 2nd half if need be for seedorf. If we have a 2-0 lead ( I hope) rest Ibra for Pippo.

I would rest some players, specially Ibra. If Ibra does play, then rest him against PArma and play Pato

Here is what said Allegri this Monday:

"The formation ? I will decide after the training session of tonight, I have thought about changing some things for the game of tomorrow. Ronaldinho, so far, has played a lot, if he didn't play, I coud change also change something in the system (organization of the team on the pitch). The game is important and difficult, a positive result, and mainly a win, could mean we will surely qualify (well, didn't say really that, but that's the meaning). I like very much the way Ajax plays, it's a pleasure to watch this team nowadays as it was in the past when they made the difference by changing the mentality of the European football. Tomorrow, for me, it will be the first CL game away against a big team and at least at the start of the game, there will be some emotion. Seedorf ? He's a great football player and I am happy to train him. His career speaks for itself."

In bold: what is the most important in this interview ... does that mean he will try to play without Ronaldinho from the start (so like against Genoa in the last 10 minutes) ? Maybe, maybe not, but that proves he considers this possibility.

And if it proves to be working, and am sure it will, do u think allegri and galliani can stop don silvio from invading the formation with his ideas?

[hitmannq8]

if it works magnificently (not only getting a result) I think yes they will be able to convince Silvio.. Galliani has his ways of convincing too, he can simply show Silvio what Dinho earns before tax...

I just hope we don't bench BOTH R80 and Robinho tomorrow. Watching Seedorf in that trequartista position is like watching paint dry. And when you think Pirlo is playing behind him, it really is torture.

I don't know why many are impressed with Pirlo vs Genoa, I was counting his passes during the game, and I've only counted 2 successful meaningful masses (of which one is the assist). He wasted 11 balls. 2/13 is a little bit less than 20% effecient, which is not good enough. If you don't believe me - sit and count the incorrect passes and balls he gives away vs Ajax and you will see what I mean.

Players like Pirlo and Ronaldinho are the real problems of the team because they are the ones that restricting us to playing our midfield and attack in only one way and no other way works.

Agree!

Pirlo has been far from impressing this season. I would try seedorf on his position to complete the midfield with Flamini and Boateng.

But i dont think pirlo is over, he just needs some rest now and then, same as seedorf, best would be to rotate them both.

[Filipéz 182]

Probable Line-Ups

AFC Ajax:
Maarten Stekelenburg; Gregory Van der Wiel, Toby Alderweireld, Jan Vertonghen, Vurnon Anita; Rasmus Lindgren, Eyong Enoh; Urby Emanuelson, Siem de Jong, Luis Suarez; Mounir El Hamdaoui.

AC Milan:
Christian Abbiati, Gianluca Zambrotta, Thiago Silva, Alessandro Nesta, Luca Antonini; Mathieu Flamini, Andrea Pirlo, Gennaro Gattuso; Clarence Seedorf; Inzaghi, Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

robinho better start over pippo or i will be very unhappy !

[Jay Crisp]

Robinho has to start we need 6 points going into the double header with the scum , Robinho has not played much and looked good against Genoa.

[Filipéz 182]

Inzaghi was already very unhappy after the Auxerre game, he needs 1 goal to get the record from gerd muller. he well be very motivated, I think thats the reason why we'll probably see Inzaghi instead of Robinho.

I'd like to see boateng in our lineup, instead of Gattuso.


But we dont have to worry right now, many times the probable formations have been wrong since allegri is here, the newspapers are having a hard time to predict our starting 11

The trend right now is:

Ibra - Robinho
Seedorf
Flamini - Pirlo - ?

? = Gattuso or Boateng

In one hour, there will probably be an article reporting that Inzaghi will do it instead of Robinho.

What is really funny is the fact that Ronaldinho could be benched for the first time of the season, and suddenly, there are voices about the fact he could leave this Winter ...
