QUOTE (han2503 @ Oct 20 2013, 03:35 PM) I'd personally like to see us go for a 4-2-3-1 1st team: Abate--Mexes--Rami--De Sciglio Monto--De Jong Honda--Kaka--El Shaarawy Balotelli 2nd team: Bonera--Zapata--Silvestre--Constant Poli--Noce/Muntari Birsa--Saponara--Robinho Pazzini The only real issues in terms of subs/2nd string are the DM position if De Jong is out and the RB position. Guys who do not have any space in this side when everyone is fit are Matri, Niang, Zaccardo, either one of Nocerino or Muntari and Urby I think all of these guys should go in January. Bring in a proper RB substitute and someone to cover for De Jong and we're set imo To think Milan actually has all those players.

QUOTE (Linkman @ Oct 21 2013, 06:11 PM) To think Milan actually has all those players. It's a fairly deep squad which has a lot of talent. For anyone to say otherwise, or that we're inferior to any team aside from Juve and maybe Napoli in the league is just ridiculous. QUOTE (Jack Bauer @ Oct 21 2013, 07:03 PM) Balo is in the squad for this game.

Great news, hopefully it's not another case of rushing a player back QUOTE (Jack Bauer @ Oct 21 2013, 07:09 PM) If Balo can play from the start, I'd go with: Amelia Abate - Silvestre - Mexes - Constant Poli - De Jong - Monto Birsa - Kaká Balo I'd rather go Amelia Abate - Silvestre - Mexes - Constant Noce/Muntari - De Jong - Monto Poli - Kaká Balo I think that would give us a bit more stability in midfield.

QUOTE (Danny @ Oct 21 2013, 09:55 PM) Last time we played them I told every b*gger on here if we set out with the right tactics, we would win. We won. Away leg different story but hey.
This time no matter what tactics we try, we're getting absolutely killed. We do not have the defensive shape, nor the midfield to cope with Barca.
The best we can do is 11 men behind the ball, pray for a counter or two and that we can keep the score down.
I'll be the first to admit it if I got this wrong, and equally the first to be a complete @ss and point out I told you so if I get it right.
I want to be wrong so so badly. I think this is the cheapest shot to "prove you're right" you've EVER made. Biggest easy prediction ever. (IMG: style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

QUOTE I’ll decide between Andrea Poli and Sulley Muntari in midfield today, even if the Ghanaian remains favourite. Muntari is the new Seedorf. (IMG: style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) no offense to Seedorf, I'm not actually compaing the two. but watching Zee in his last seasons had become unbearable, save for a few games every once in a while where he stepped up. he played when he didn't deserve to, now it's the same story with Muntari. why the hell would you want to play a freakin' snail against Barca anyway? Nah, Poli will start. Max can't be that stupid, can he?

Why would anyone who wants what's best for the team want this idiot to start? He nearly cost us the game against a terrible Udinese who aside from a free-kick had not created anything before that. The guy is a huge liability yet he's "favourite" to start. Just goes to show how much merit is not something that Allegri basis his decisions on

Against Barca, I think Muntari to start might not be such a stupid option. Poli is no Seedorf in terms of tactical intelligence and the only other option besides Muntari is Urby. I'm guessing Poli will only come on later in the game. Let's not be under any misunderstanding. We are not setting out to win. Already our great and courageous captain made it clear in his press interview. " A group stage or a knock-out game is the same thing but we are not playing for our qualification tomorrow." (IMG: style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) I hate this attitude.

People have a common misconception of thinking Muntari is a "defensive" player, but that could not be more far from the truth. He spends more time level with the strikers than anyone else in that midfield, he's an idiot tactically and in everything else he does. I can only assume zed compared him to Seedorf because of their identical lazy jogging around. He makes terrible passing decisions, doesn't help out his FB, shoots constantly, takes too much time on the ball and loses it countless times in a match, makes idiotic tackles and does not work hard for the team Poli is more of a creative, passer type player but he also works his @ss off.
