Any guess on the formation?

Since I'm not sure about Borriello, I'd expect a Ka-Pa-Ro to start, maybe moving to She-Pa-Ro later.

Hope to see Flamini, but I doubt it.

No Ka-Pa-Ro (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) I'd rather Pato sits this out but we don't use the disgusting formation anymore...

I prefer a Ka-Pa-Bo formation,or any other formations with 2 strikers (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

What I want to see:



What Carlo will probably go for:

Ronaldinho stayed in Milan these two weeks, there's no way he's going to sit this 'home game' out (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) Berlu will want to watch him play.

I think this'll be Carlo's formation and lineup:

Personally I have no problem with Dinho and Kaka both playing, but only if Ambro is taken out and replaced by Pato or Sheva and we go for a 4-2-2-2 sort of thing. Personally I don't believe it's just a 1 striker problem, but mostly it's the 2 DMs that compromise most of our play, so Seedorf and Rino/Flamini holding the midfield reigns with Kaka and Dinho supporting the 2 strikers from the wings, no ultra defensive play at hom Carlo!!

Zambro is suspended guys... so expect Antonini to take his place.

I think it will be

Abbiati
Antonini Bonera Maldini Jankulovski
Gattuso Seedorf Ambrosini
Kaka Ronaldinho
Borriello

which is what Gazzetta predicts as well.

Well at that time Berlusconi insisted that Carlo should play with 2 strikers.I don't know why he stopped.


Carlo would have a heart attack if he saw your starting X1 but I sure would love to see it.

We stopped having two strikers who could play together. There was Gila, Pippo and Oliveira. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

^^

Now we have two strikers who can play together though

MILAN: 18 CALLED UP PLAYERS
10/18/2008
MILAN - Here are the 18 called up players for tomorrow afternoon's match against Sampdoria, at San Siro at 15.00. Abbiati, Ambrosini, Antonini, Bonera, Borriello, Dida, Emerson, Favalli, Flamini, Inzaghi, Jankulovski, Kakà, Maldini, Nesta, Seedorf, Shevchenko, Pato, Ronaldinho.
Unavailable: Cardacio, Gattuso, Kaladze, Pirlo, Senderos, Viudez.
Not called up: Darmian e Kalac.
Suspended: Zambrotta.

I'm guessing our formation would be something like this;
--------------------Abbiati---------------------

--Antonini---Bonera----Maldini----Jankulovski

----Flamini-------Seedorf------Ambrosini--

------------------Ronaldinho------------

------------Pato----------------Borriello

I'm pretty sure Kaka will start. Kaka is not the type of player that likes to be on the sidelines. Carletto said it's up to him if he wants to play or not. Knowing Kaka, he will play. So I'm expecting Boriello as a lone striker.

Boriello is our only striker that can play in Carlo's 4-3-2-1 system right now, so we'll see. But I hope he doesn't start Pato or Sheva and expect them to play a target man role in the game. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Interested to see how Borriello does in a lone striker role, I think he can be great. But I'd be equally happy if Kaka is rested and Pato starts alongside Borriello.

If we play with one forward at home again...
