Milan vs inter

Let the posting begin........

Geo. Get in here and post your magical facts my friend.

Let's wait until the first games are all over ...

This is my line up for the derby i think huntelaar should come on in the second half but that's just my opinion:
Storati

Zambrotta Nesta T.Silva Jankulovski

Gatusso Pirlo Flamini

Ronaldinho

Pato Borriello

Here we go !! The good old habits are back with the start of this championship 2009-2010 !!

What to expect:

- To start, no team having won its first game will play against another winning team from this week-end, which could lead to a first small gap between the winning teams from the first game and the other teams (if we only count the favorites) depending on the result.

- Personnally, like each time we play against Inter, I don't care about the other results, all I want is to see Milan winning against Inter !! We have some trouble to play well because of some changes, but we won our first game, whereas Inter, with all their changes too, only drew at home against Bari. So the main goal of this game is to potentially put Inter 5 points behind us after only 2 games, and potentially put them in a kind of crisis (not really, it could happen if we beat them and if they aren't able to win the third game ...).

- Another big game is Roma against Juventus, and Roma has to win or they will see the ghost of their bad last season appearing just after two games (it's true that playing against Genoa and Juventus is far to be the easiest way to start this season).

- I expect both Genoa clubs (Genoa and Sampdoria) to win their next game and to be the best teams of this start of season, at least for the next two months ... actually, I like this Genoa team and I hope they will be able to do well this season, of course, behind us, next Serie A winners !!

- Fiorentina against Palermo is already a game for the qualifying places for the next European cups (CL or Europa League) and it will be interesting to see how will react Fiorentina after their game against Sporting. Why is that interesting ? Just because if they qualify for the coming up CL by beating Sporting, the way they will play next week end will be an indication on the way they will manage to play both CL and Serie A in the coming months ...

- To finish, actually, there isn't many things to say this time, it's still too early ...

wow roma has juventus? doesnt get easier per da giallorossi

I hope we see a lineup of-

Stoari
Antonini-Nesta-Silva-Zambro
Abate-Pirlo-Flamini
R80
Huntelaar-Pato

if we get up, put Gattuso in, if we are down Super Pippo to the rescue

We should put Gattuso in starting XI for Merda match, it's too risky to play Abate. And no Antonini please, maybe Kaladze should be given a chance there.

Antonini > Janku. Do you remember what happened last time when Kaladze played against Inter? it was a horror show. Abate's speed could open up chances. Maybe if we could play Flamini at RB and Use a Gattuso-Pirlo-Abate midfield...

i agree kaladze was the worst player on the pitch his mistake caused us the game

Wow!! What a mouthwatering weekend we ve got coming.

Regarding the team i would like to see the same team that played Siena except for maybe replacing Boriello as a subtitute and bring on Huntlaar. Other than that i would like to see Abate being used somewhere too.

Inter would be all charged up after their embarassing draw in front of their home fans. Bari was competitive i must say and also nearly beat Inter.

This game s big for both sides. Inter will get 3 important points but for Milan it will be a way of proving their critics wrong.

Milan will win.FORZA MILAN

We are going to win this match,like i said: Inter are NOTHING this season,mark my words.Just as Moggi said: Inter commited suicide by selling Ibrahomobitch.

I watched the whole game yesterday of Inter and Bari,and you could see they just didnt knew how to break down the 7 men defense of Bari,usually Ibra would have shot in two or three and Inter would have won AGAIN without playing any decent football.But now they dont have that luxury,they dont know how to handle the small teams.

Eto'o and Milito havent gelled yet,wich is also on of the problems Mourinho faces,and from what ive seen yesterday,Eto'o is indeed a player who needs 100 chances before he can score,because he missed an great chance yesterday.At Barca he got 10 chances and it was normal he scored allot,in Serie A he gets 2 chances and he has to make them,but he isnt used to that.

They dont have any creativity in midfield,it was awful to watch how static it was,even Bari were playing more creative football,Maicon was running up and down the flank sending in crosses.....but no Ibra to head them in.

Inter have a big problem IMO,BIG BIG PROBLEM!They lack creativity,even if Sneijder comes,he cant do it all by himself,they need two creative players to solve their midfield issues,and Eto'o finishing skills are weak,its not just against Bari,even at Barca they were weak,but nobody complained about it because he always scored as he had many chances from Messi,Xavi etc.

We are way more creative then them,and are better in ball possesion,and this will make us win the game,we won it last year because of our superb ball-passing skills,and we will do it again,this derby is in our favour because it comes at the perfect time,Inter still has to gel and they miss Cambiasso,there only midfielder who can do something with a ball.
A midfield of Muntari-Vieira-Motta.....thats simply not good enough VS Rhino-Pirlo-Flamini.

Also they have big problems in defense,because Lucio is clumsy and cant mark,thats why Bari scored yesterday,Lucio's marking skills are way of target.....

Nesta-Silva should have it easy with Milito and Eto'o for now,Leo will make one of Flamini/Rhino/Ambro stop Maicon running up and down the flank.

We will win this game 100 percent.

I like your post, Dutchie ^^

Again, I'm surprised that you can make such conclusions about a team after one single game ...

You say that Inter didn't manage to break a 7-man defence, you're wrong, Milito and Eto'o easily penetrated in their defence actually ... then, of course, if you only look at after the 75th minute, I'm ok with you, the only times Inter put the ball in the defence of Bari were when Quaresma did his useless tricks (and often sent the ball to noone).

About Eto'o, you condamn him very quickly too, what will you say after the 38th game if he manages to score 25 goals this season (which I hope won't happen, except if Pato scores 30 goals and Huntelaar 29 goals) ??

I don't try to defend Inter, but I just think that a post like you wrote is just flashy and has no real sense after one game.

As for Lucio, the guy made one mistake yesterday, and you say that his marking skills are his problem ... if it was really a problem, he wouldn't be the captain of the Brazilian NT as they have many good defenders ... just think about that.

Lucio was good yesterday and it made me wonder why the hell we didn't sign him.

Great post Dutchie!!

I watched the inter v. bari game as well....agree with alot of your points but its too early to write-off Inter yet, especially mourinho as coach.

Ibra will be a massive loss for them, of cause they won't admit to it! He was always capable breaking the deadlock against minor teams by a freak shot on goal. Eto'o is a player that requires creative midfielders like at barca, he hasn't got that individuality to score like Ibra. Inter's midfield is to stagnant, rigid, there's no flair!! Overall its going to take time for both Eto'o and Milito to gel together...

With milan, we have the same problem up front, although the difference is our midfield is alot more creative. It's going to take time for either Huntelaar and Borriello (been out for awhile) to gel up front with pato and ronnie. Hopefully it wont take that long for Huntelaar to fit in and start scoring, plus is our midfield should ease the difficulties...hopefully!!

Also, if mgt had invested in some quality FBs, in combination with our midfield, it would of been perfect, alot more creativity and potency!! Having some quality FBs that could run all day down the flank sending in crosses (i.e. Maicon) into Huntelaar and Borriello would of top it off
