I dont even expect to see Ronnie tonight...

why??

Boateng and Ronaldinho need to come in. 2 players hungry for success.

Because he is been sitting on the bench for five games...

Terrible may be a little drastic. Its not like we conceded, yet. We have not controlled proceedings by way of creating guilt edge chances, but the chances that they've gotten have been fortuitous, and haven't struck me as particularly deadly or clear cut. They're exactly the kind of half-chance opportunities you can't help but concede sometimes, but they haven't quite looked like scoring..

And boateng i agree with. if you mean dinho for seedorf, then perhaps - but i don't think dorf has been the problem. but dinho for robinho is a no-no. Ibra would then have two, withdrawn midfielders to drop the ball off to, and no1 other than flamini running past him into the box. Robinho plays higher up the field than Dinho. Taking him off for Dinho's withdrawn long-ball game would only isolate Ibra more.

Auxerre were very motivated in the first half, for them this is a dog fight for Europa League as such they are glaring their fangs at us.

But I think Allegri has finally got a formation that ticks, it still needs to gel well with Robinho. Abbiati and the defense as a whole have been superb; take Gigi as an example, he isn't as fast nor has he the physical mass to out beat whatever he faces on Auxerre's right flank, but he meets it with experience! The way he outmaneuvers the opposition and wins those technical fouls, now that was the Zambrotta of Juventus (IMG:style_emoticons/default/king.gif)

My assessment of the first half is that we contained them for 45 minutes, with the help of Abiatti and a fortress of a defense. Our midfield was aggressive and eager to bring Auxerre back down to earth. Yet our attack just cant click, Robinho has great work rate and I appreciate him running back to stop counters (something Ibrahimovic didn't bother to do), yet he isn't in-sync with the language the team was speaking.

u see what alegri is doing people he is much worst than lenoardo if lenardo had ibra and boateng in his team qe qould been playing the best football, and what i liked most couse he told gatusso find another club couse u have no clue in football, i think alegri is making us a team qho qill just run to defend e tu ruin oponnets game, u see how auxere looks superior to milan couse in midfiled is gatuso ambro who are not good with the ball if we change ronie with ambro and ronie to seedorfs plays and seedorf in ambro plays and change gatuso with boateng I belive that we will win

Ibra is already isolated. Also I'd dop Seedorf into that Pirlo role and play Dinho behind the strikers. We're really struggling to control the game, the chances they had only came because we kept losing the ball in our own half. Our only tactic consists of launching long balls, and maybe Seedorf playing in a ball if he's lucky enough to receive it in a decent position. Those 3 DMs are killing our entire game

Also what I saw was terrible, we're playing Auxerre, not Real. We've been seeing this same cr@p every week in Serie A but we managed to win the games thanks to Ibra. So far he hasn't pulled anything out of his @ss, so I can't see us winning with this system until he does that.

Thankfully Real are doing us a huge favour by winning, I really don't want to see us taking this into the last game

Second half shows you the whole story. Milan keeping the ball but producing nothing, Auxerre waiting for a pacey counter strike.

Ronaldinho warming up

Ibra is already isolated, so is Robinho. I wouldn't disagree with putting Seedorf in the midfield and Dinho behind Robinho and Ibra, which would mean sacrificing 2 of our 3 defensive midfielders (if you include the Boateng substitution). I don't think such wholesale midfield changes, with our current manager, are likely to happen - even though I wouldn't disagree with them.

And Inter won the Scudetto several times with Ibra, playing in this crappy way. It is a proven, winning system (at least in Italy). Obviously in Europe it isn't...

we need to make some change nothing gonna work at this rate

that defender knew that Abate was not going to shoot. He just stuck to Robinho the entire time, allowing Abate to waltz into the area, waiting for Abate to make that pass completely unconcerned that Abate would shoot.

Lesson: Abate needs to practice his shooting..

Allegri: 60th minute - make a change!
