Pretty average I think I don't have the numbers, no one has that great of a record on the team right now, the only guy I can think of that scored in pretty much every game against the merda was Sheva.

And we can forget that Carlo will play with 2 strikers in this game so it has to be either Pippo or Pato, but definately not both, so personally I would go with Pippo first, and use Pato as a super sub that can come off the bench and make something happen, plus as someone already said, Pato is good at coming off the bench and immediately getting into the rythm of the game

We must win the derby, so we must play Pato and Pippo. Pato i am sure will completely bamboozle the Nerazurri defence, experience tells us that they dislike fast direct strikers (cough Torres cough)

Then don't hope for 4th place ... Just accept 5th (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

If 4th place does come, bring out the champaign (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

No way Carlo will play any other way then with 1 striker and 2 defencive mids

I believe he will stick with the xtree formation too (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/96.gif)

ٌWith Pato on the pitch it's more possible to see Pippo score, and vice versa. it's obvious marking an all alone Pippo isn't really hard for them. but when it's two strikers, two that move around A LOT, it's more probable they lose concentration and make a mistake. honestly that's how I see it! but I know Pato will start from the bench...

Hope not this time. FORZA RAGAZZI!

Here are datasport's player ratings and brief translations of the comments:

Kalac 6 - Il Livorno non arriva praticamente mai dalle sue parti: l`estremo difensore rossonero si gode una domenica di sole, fino al gol di Knezevic, sul quale e` incolpevole. [Livorno hardly ever got into their own half. A day in the sun for the Milan keeper except for Knezevic's goal, for which he isn't responsible.]

Bonera 7 - Spinge bene e con costanza, non facendo rimpiagere il miglior Oddo. E` suo il delizioso cross per il 2-0 di Inzaghi. Promosso a pieni voti. [Does well consistently. Delicious cross for Inzaghi's second goal.]

Kaladze 6.5 - Tavano non incide, Diamanti si limita a innocui tiri da 40 metri; nel finale rischia la salute su un brutto intervento di Balleri. Con Nesta l`intesa e` ormai affinata. [Not bothered by Tavano or Diamanti; in the end risked his health through an ugly challenge to Belleri. Worked well with Nesta.]

Jankulovski s.v. - Qualche minuti per riassaporare il campo. [Some minutes to regain match fitness.]

Nesta 6.5 - Guida la difesa con maestria, fino a quando Ancelotti decide bene di risparmiargli gli ultimi minuti. Infatti, diffidato, rischiava la squalifica. [Conducts the defense with majesty until Ancelotti decided to replace him in the last mintues. One yellow away from a match ban.]

Favalli 6 - L`esperto terzino fa il suo lavoro senza fronzoli; accusa qualche problemino fisico e nel finale lo rileva Jankulovski. [The expert left back did his work without fuss; some physical problems and was replaced by Jankulovski.]

Oddo 6 - Rientra in campo a tempo di record dopo l`infortunio e l`operazione. [Returned to the pitch in record time after his injury and operation. nb, no response yet to the get well card.]

Brocchi 6 - Gioca la mezzora finale, continuando il lavoro di Gattuso. [Played the last half hour, continuing Gattuso's work.]

Pirlo 6.5 - La gara a ritmi lenti si addice alle sue caratteristiche: il centrocampista azzurro ricama per gli ispirati compagni di attacco. Senza strafare pero`. [The slow rhythm of the game lent itself to his characteristics; the Azzuri midfielder inspires his teammates in the attack.]

Seedorf 7 - Dal suo piedino nasce l`azione del gol dell`1-0 che sblocca il match; un sinistro ben piu` potente chiude i giochi nella ripresa. Giocasse sempre cosi`, chissa` dove sarebbe il Milan.. [From his feet start the action of the first goal; a powerful shot closed the game after the break. If he always played like this, think where Milan would be...]

Gattuso 6.5 - Se il Milan puo` viaggiare sul velluto dal centrocampo in su e` anche per merito suo. Vuole andare via? Meglio che la societa` forzi per tenerselo stretto. [If Milan could travel on velvet in the midfield he'd deserve it. He wants to leave? Better that the club keeps him by force.]

Kaka` 6.5 - Una veria furia nel primo tempo: va alla conclusione un paio di volte, ma non riesce a incidere negli ultimi metri. Nella ripresa lascia il palcoscenico a Inzaghi e Seedorf. [A real fury in the first half. Comes close a couple of times but doesn't manage the final few meters. After the break, leaves the stage to Inzaghi and Seedorf.]

Ambrosini 6 - Il biondo capitano porta la croce nel primo tempo, poi nel secondo si limita a controllare la situazione che ormai si e` installata sui binari giusti. Ordinato e per niente falloso. [The blonde captain carried the cross in the first half, after in teh second he limited himself to controlling the situation that by then was a foregone conclusion.]

Inzaghi 8 - Superpippo e` in forma strepitosa: tre gol fondamentali in chiave Champions League e un assist per l`amico Seedorf. Arriva a quota nove in campionato e sembra non volersi fermare qui. Entra di dirotto nel ballottaggio degli attaccanti per un posto all`Europeo. [Superpippo is in shocking form: three fundamental goals in a key game and an assist for his friend Seedorf. 9 goals in the championship and doesn't seem to want to stop there. Puts himself in the running for a spot at Euro 2008.]

AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

Suppeeeeeeeeeeerr Pippo Inzaghi!!! (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/devil.gif)

Very good performance again today (we could have played a couple more games like this or the last one and we would be fourth by now... (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/innocent.gif) ). But why do we ALWAYS have to concede! It hurts me! I'd rather see a 1-0 win than a 4-1 one... (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

YES! YES! Thank you Sampdoria!! (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

What we wished for has happened, Fiorentina dropped two points against the Blucerchiati but... now it's when it gets tough... we have to beat Inter! At least this one depends on us and not on the Viola... WE WILL MAKE IT! (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)


That would be really really disheartening!


You are not and I can give you an example! (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Goal.com has given him a 10. I've never seen a player get a 10 from them before. he was SUPERB today, but 10 is exaggerating.

Milannews gave him a 10 also. I might have to try to get downtown tomorrow after work to pick up a print copy of Gazzetta to see what their ratings are.

wat about me (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/innocent.gif)
