We did very well at home to Malaga who are a much better side, but Juve are a class above even them.

We are on a good run right now - a spirited draw against a vastly superior Napoli side followed by a patchy 3-1 over Anderlecht - 2 good away results in a row.

But Juve are a machine. Only Inter have taken all 3 points from them in the past 51 or so matches - so while we're arguably playing them at home for the best time for us, I still say they'll gub us.

No, we didn't.

You mean Malaga are a better side than us??

No we're the better side which shows you how terribly bad we're underperforming this season.

Juve are a super efficient team who might not have big stars but they play an unforgiving type of football. We won't be able to keep up with their fast paced tempo. You said yourself, Juve are a machine, and that is how they play

Our biggest enemy right now is ourselves. The passing percentage has got to be the worst we've come up with in years. Aside from our complete lack of pace, movement and terrible marking off set pieces, our passing has to be the most irritating thing about how we're playing right now

+1000

lol After seeing Zapata vs Anderlecht the other day no thanks mate Yepes any day of the week vs Zapata..

WHAT???

Yepes was screwing up everytime he got near the ball! I don't remember Zapata making any errors, at least not ones which are noticable and thus I can still remember

lol please do not tell me Zapata is reliable.

Also, I can't see us winning tomorrow.

So, Zapata didn't make any errors that you can remember, but you remember Yepes screwing up every time he got near the ball...

I don't know why you exaggerate about everything so much.

Both are crap. Sell please.

You see - the problem is Allegri has no feeling for players; Zapata for example has a very good record with Udinese over a few seasons. That really indicates we have a potentially good player. But Allegri is doing the same he did with many other newcomers as well - he's siding him and pushing him into the fire in dire situations. Especially defenders cannot work that way. This is not Pippo or Pazzo coming in, taking his 10 minutes, scores a goal and then maintains playing on a high level pushed by this surge. Exactly the opposite happens. You put in a not regular player to play in a curious CB pairing, you make the pressure, he makes the mistake(s) - loses confidence - and gone is the deal. All you have left is a unsatisfied player who's lost confidence.

Oh, Pazzini hasn't taken his 10 minutes for seven matches. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sleep.gif) Take his hatrick out, and he's been an out and out disaster. For the price we got him for, for his playing position on the pitch. Give me a Huntelaar over 11 Pizzinis any day of the week. Compared to him Inzaghi is from another planet altogether.

Of course, he is free to prove me wrong, but for me, he's the flop transfer of the season. So far.

Just what exactly did Zapata do wrong? He only misplaced one pass, but other than that he looked very lively and alert. And like I've always claimed, he's been rather solid in those few games he's played. Yepes, on the other hand, was a complete mess. Always fouling his opponents, diving at every contact and making goofy interventions, one of which cost us the goal. So yeah, I'd suggest you watch the game again with more attention before you make such blunt remarks.

lol , i hope to god Zapata does not start tomorrow. He is not milan class at all play Acerbi instead of this waste of space.

Thanks, by this response I have figured you out now.

lol whats that supposed to mean i needed figuring out (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Zapata is just not Milan quality hes a step down we got him on the cheap loan move for a reason matey. He is a here today gone tomorrow player for us simple as that.

anyway on topic

Milan lineup

Milan (probable): Abbiati; De Sciglio, Mexes, Yepes, Constant; Montolivo, De Jong, Emanuelson; Boateng, Bojan, El Shaarawy

Glad i do not see Zapata starting this BIG game.
