He should go with this:

Abbiati
Zambrotta Bonera Senderos Jankulovski
Flamini Ambrosini Seedorf/Ronaldinho
Kaka
Pato Borriello

4-3-1-2

but Carlo will go with:

Abbiati
Zambrotta Senderos Kaladze Favalli
Flamini Emerson Ambrosini
Kaka Ronaldinho
Sheva

I really wanna see what formation he'll use now that Pirlo's out..He depends too much..Pirlo played almost every game last season if not b/c of suspension or little injury..

It would be interesting to see Ronaldinho playing that deep, I know I've seen him play as a central midfielder for Brazil a couple of times. And he's probably the only one on the team that can come even close to Pirlo in terms of passing technique.

Still would only prefer 1 defensive mid in the middle though, Maybe we could play more of a diamond where both R10 and Seedorf go wider and Flamini acting as the classic defensive mid that sits in front of defence, winning the ball and releasing it quickly to R10 or Seedorf. Something like this




Truw IIRC he played the most minutes last season out of everyone on the team, even more then the GK. If I'm wrong about this he's definately in the top 3, when it comes to minutes played

Looks like Gattuso is returning. I think Carlo would love something like this:

4-4-1-1 (like 2006-07):

4 DMs, that'd be a new low, even for Carlo.

you think? i think when he sleeps he dreams of something like this:

TBH i dont believe he is injured we are giving him rest and i think a 4-2-2-2 will be tried something like gal_kenny mentioned above

Dear god!

He's really injured himself... badly.



Good translates: a complex muscle injury | he will be out for 45-60 days ((IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) )

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) Now we have to seriously reconsider the formation and lineup and please, Carlo, no "we didn't have Pirlo" excuses. if we keep playing bad for two months, we'll be struggling to reach the CL again. certainly Emerson won't do it. I say either Cardacio or Seedorf.

Blog: Pirlo problem?

Are the batteries wearing down at Milan? Dave Taylor thinks so and feels Andrea Pirlo needs to get out of the spotlight to recharge his

Milan have struggled so far this season and that’s likely to continue unless someone starts switching the lights on and grabs games by the scruff of the neck. In the past that player has been Andrea Pirlo, but the midfielder – like the rest of the team – looks sluggish.

The former Inter flop certainly isn’t the player he used to be and seems to be overly weary, something he was complaining about even before this summer’s exertions in the European Championship, when he really should have had his feet up.

He always seems to play in whatever match it is and surely this cannot continue. He needs a rest, he is a shadow of his earlier days, but the big problem is who can replace him with the Rossoneri or the Azzurri for that matter?

On the international stage, perhaps Alberto Aquilani is the answer, but he is not even guaranteed a first team game with Roma. Marcello Lippi saw the same Pirlo as I did against Georgia and replaced him with Angelo Palombo, but he doesn’t have as much class as Riverino.

Sadly Pirlo has the look of a tired fox hunted into the ground at night, caught in the spotlight, frightened, frail and frequently hiding. He is struggling to come to terms with the new system that Coach Carlo Ancelotti has imposed on them this term and there is even more pressure on the midfield after their losing start.

Pirlo is or at least was the axis on which the Rossoneri use to swing and under normal circumstances he would be one of the deep lying midfielders, but should Carlo try Mathieu Flamini and Max Ambrosini for the time being in a 4-2-3-1?

Let me stress that I have nothing against Pirlo, who on his day, which are becoming less frequent, is surely one of the best midfielders in Europe. But he needs to start performing because his club and his country just can’t afford to carry him any longer.

I feel sorry for Pirlo, but this may be a good thing for everyone. Pirlo has been overworked for seasons and is extremely tired and fatigued. Two months out gives him time to rest and recuperate. Secondly it may open up a chance for Cardacio and other players or a formation change. 4-2-3-1 will be more effective with 2 pure DM's, but i do prefer the Cardacio option more
