Milan vs. Palermo - Sunday, 22 Oct.

Sunday we host Palermo... we have to improve from yesterday or Palermo will punish us like they did in the Coppa match last season..

Channel 4 think this will be our line up, i would have to agree with that...

Milan (probable): Dida; Cafu, Kaladze, Nesta, Jankulovski; Pirlo, Gattuso, Seedorf, Kakà; Gilardino, F.Inzaghi

Palermo never won at san siro and Milan have a good record again Palermo.Hope this can be our second step to climb up to glory again..

I am looking forward to this match...hopefully I will see it live..well, lets check on available options, shall we.....

So its Same day delayed...hope RAI shows it live...or maybe Zlat or NAMMY can hook us up with some streams?

Why am I looking forward to this game: Well, it will represent a barometer if you will, of where we really are this season...this will be, IMO a stern test for us, as we come up against a team that is really performing quite well this term (to date)...the hiccup vs Atalanta for me was just that...a hiccup...and the table tells no lies...they are deservedly in the position they hold..

So a stern test for us, coming off a rather difficult game vs Anderlecht in the UCL...still, I look to see Pirlo returning to form, and hopefull Kaka will maintain or improve upon his excellent second half performance vs the Belgian team.

FORZA MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIILAN!!!

gilardino & inzaghi up front just doesn't work

Jim, thanks for your thoughtful and insightful post. Never one for brevity are you? Well thought out, well stated, and well researched.

Jus pulling ur leg ol´chap!

But this is very obvious....any suggestions, that you could impart so I could ring Carlo up with some pointers?

if Serghino was fit i would play a 4-3-2-1 and have Serghino up with Kaka supporting Inzaghi or Gila... That has worked before, plus the team would be dynamite going forward think i spent too long at the bar tonighttt...

The game will be in San Siro, Milan needs to get back to the winning road, after 3 straight draws...

Sant, I merged your thread with this one, you must not have seen it.

After the dramatic victory against Anderlecht then this game would be the start of Milan's winning ways in the league.

Palermo shall play in Germany today against Eintracht Frankfurt...so logically Milan have more days to recover from their tiredness rather than Palermo.

I bet for Milan with 2-0 win.....

We have to win this one if we want to keep any chance in winning the leaque.
I should play Inzaghi and Oliveira in the attack as it packed out well against Anderlecht and we created a lot of chances with them...but we do have to take those chances at Sunday.

Yes Warro, tell him to play Dida in goal.

im sure dida-jankulovski-keladze-nesta-cafu will be our back line. Pirlo-gattuso and kaka will be in the middle. And if Gourcuff is ready, he could play a part after seedorf if off. Or seedorf on for gourcuff, it all depends of phisical condition.
Up front, gila will probably start alongside oliveira as we need a forward that can play also on the wings. I hope that we can score an early goal with a lot of quality posession so we can calmly end the game( havent seen that for a while ). If Palermo closes and doesnt concide in the first 60 minutes we will be in big trouble.

Have to say I agree with you here mrki!!

If Kaka is not going to be moody, we have a chane...in the opposite case, plus if Gila plays - we are in trouble. According to Gazzetta Pirlo is not going to play and there ll be Brocchi. This is also not a best thing that might happen. Lets cross our fingers and see what happens. Palermo desperately needs a win, and they are going to be very tough.

I would provide some streams (when available), but we don't have a wireless network set up here in my student house yet. Fortunately, Bravo UK will be showing the match from 7:00pm, so that's how I'll be watching. Zlats better at giving streams anyhoo.
Re the match, of course I hope for Milan to win comfortably, with Gila and Oli scoring. however, Palermo have been doing well so far this season, and Milan always seem to play below par when I watch them ....
