Well, we will be missing Kaak, which might be a good thing considering how he is playing lately and this might give us a great chance to see how Pirlo and R80 and Seedorf do well together. FORZA MILAN!!!
Will Borriello be ready? I wanna see from the midfield up: Gattuso - Pirlo - Seedorf Ronaldinho Pato - Borriello
So Gattuso and Boriello are out for tomorrow, thus we need to start Pato and Inzaghi or Pato and Sheva. Midfield should consist of Seedorf, Pirlo, Ambrosini R80 and maybe Emerson since Kaka has 2 yellows. I see: Abbiatti Jankulowski Bonera Maldini Zambrotta Pirlo Ambrosini R80 Seedorf Pato Inzaghi
These are the 21 called-up players of Carlo Ancelotti for the match against Palermo: Abbiati, Dida, Kalac Antonini, Bonera, Favalli, Jankulovski, Kaladze, Maldini, Senderos, Zambrotta Ambrosini, Cardacio, Emerson, Flamini, Pirlo, Seedorf Inzaghi, Pato, Shevchenko, Ronaldinho. Unavailable players: Nesta, Borriello, Gattuso, Kakà that are some real key players we are missing for today. (especially gattuso) i hope we find some balance again, so we won't get owned and can control the match, which was a thing we were very good at...
not looking forward to not having gattuso in the midfield, especially given ambrosini isn't fully fit yet. the physical midfield of palermo, especially in front of their rabid fans, could run us into the ground if they play it smart. I hope not, though Abbiati; Zambrotta, Bonera, Maldini, Jankulovski; Flamini, Pirlo, Ambrosini; Seedorf, Ronaldinho, Pato. I thought flamini was out, but he is in there, he, ambro, and pirlo all have had injury/fitness woes of late, I hope they can win the midfield battle, but it will be tough the defense is right now our best possible back four, so hopefully they hold miccoli, cavani and company at bay, I have a feeling we are gonna need some magic out of pato and dinho to win a frustrating match
well, he hasn't been on the best of form lately for one, but given that kaka is not there and seedorf-dinho isn't the quickest duo by any stretch, sheva would make the attacking trio absolutely glacial, whereas pato provides some more movement and dynamism on counters.
Richard Whittle made a great point, Ronnie needs to really start taking on defenders when he has that space on the left. He need to get his confidence back.
damn we're sloppier than lindsey lohan's vagina. cant even get a decent pass to the next player this is gonna be a loooooong game
I think that was a pen, close but I think pato was right on the edge of the box, if anything it should have been a red. who passed the ball to pato? that was a great ball, but poor pen effort
pato picked up a knock, inzaghi in we're defending like drunkards, abbiati has saved our asses a few times already
owwwwww another great fk by dinho,sooo close this half was piss poor though. we haven't been dominated like this before
tough half, lucky to be in 0-0. midfield having trouble with their marking tight marking and physical advantage. pato's injury didn't help, but we need some nice half-time adjustments, that's for sure. we look like crap almost had the moment of brilliance of dinho there!
