The new system is very different from the past few seasons. It no longer a 4-3-3. Its more of an Italian formation now, which means more compactness & more unity. Its actually midfield 4 now instead of 3 Ibrahimovic Robinho/Pato Boateng/Seedorf Flamini Ambrosini Gattuso

Welcome Redrup, midfield could feature Boateng, Gatusso, Pirlo and Ambrosini. Possibly Flamini and Seedorf.

Ibrahimovic Seedorf Pirlo Flamini Ambrosini Gattuso By the way, this 5 men midfield would be ideal to play against Barcelona

No, not all together zeekay, we don't need Seedorf and Pirlo together.
No matter who we play against we need more movement, Boateng and Robinho can do better and are needed and don't leave Ibra up high by himself.

I thought they keep him just for the bench, not for the couch? See, if there was a comfortable couch before, Dida would not have hurt himself on the sideline against Parma.

"Tottenham will test Newcastle’s resolve to hang on to Andy Carroll in January with a £20million bid that will include Peter Crouch and Robbie Keane as bait."

Tottenham will tear us apart if we start with the mediocrity of Abate and Antonini. You all have talked about that in great detail, so I won't go through it here.
Yesterday's game against Roma proved that this team is still average in most areas. KPB is great, but he is not Milan material. We need Flamini fit, and we need to start with a conventional formation that sees a safety-first midfield. The only problem is that if we start with Seedorf in a playmaker role, we are in big trouble because he doesn't deserve to be on the field. This is the dilemma. A midfield of Flamini, Gattuso/Ambro, and Pirlo will be great, but I really hope we find another solution other than KPB or Seedorf in the playmaker role. Hopefully Cassano is well integrated by then. Last edited by Hasan Rossonero; 19-12-2010 at 07:57. |

Hasan, Spurs ain't Barcelona. After watching thhe replay of Barcelona just now, I must say that they are really World Beaters.
Spurs has one of the worst defense among the seeded teams in the second round. As of today, unless Ibra and/Silva/Nesta are out with injuries, I would not worry one bit. As Ibra is the type of strikers that EPL defenders cant handle since they are only good at defending against the air and closing down on speedy players. |

What scares me most is that apart from Inter, when it has mattered in the big games, our team has been horribly exposed. |

True, they got speed but they also got a weak defense and non ball winning midfield.
Also I would not take both the Juve and Roma games as ref., since they really were lucky. |

We're a long way away, we have many important games until then, we will also (hopefully) have some new players @ Milan by then, but you're right, we have not done much against the top sides (Real Madrid, Juventus, Roma).. we defeated Inter 1-0 on a penalty. We drew with Napoli and Lazio. We lost and drew to Ajax. We lost at home to Ajax, Juventus, and Roma.
Yet everyone says Allegri is the second coming. Let's see how we do against Tottenham. No one wants Milan to win more than I, but this Round of 16 tie will be very, very important for Milan's season, as we must prove we can defeat a good team in an extremely important competition for us. Forza Milan! |

Like you guys said it's too early for predictions. We can't even be sure if there are going to be changes in both squads. I mean we already signed Cassano.
I agree with most of you, it's not a bad draw but still it ain't gonna be easy. Not at all. Spurs may not be Barcelona but they have a great team. Some things i think and please feel free to disagree. We just can't afford to give Lennon and mostly Bale the space to run the ball. Gareth Bale is having a miraculous season so far, he is a proper wonderboy, just ask guys like Maicon or Ferreira who had to suffer from the Welsh these last weeks or so. On their right flank, Lennon can also trouble the opponent back in a good day. I am not sure our backs can easily handle them. Add the always dangerous VdV, put in there some Defoe and Crouch and Pavlyuchenko and you have a pretty decent attacking line with Modric a bit deeper trying to provide with his passing game. Still their defense, while not useless at all, is not the best one around. Not in Premier League with a 25-22 record, not even in CL where they finished top of their table (18-11). Bassong, Dawson and the rest of their defenders are no match for our attacking line and if Ibra and one more of the guys up front have two good nights we do have a serious chance qualifying. But i guess we also have to keep them off their familiar pace. Anyway, i think we are in for a couple of great and thrilling matches. |

They are dangerous, we can eliminate them if we dont take them lightly...Bale vs Abate was not my biggest nightmare cuz Messi vs Antonini could be the worst...
