After locking horns with one zebra, we try our luck with another one. (IMG: style_emoticons/default/innocent.gif) This time the Zebrette (little zebras) in question is Udinese, a team that has seemingly fallen out of form and favor languishing at 11th currently. We're at third, but with that dreaded club (Napoli) hot on our heels tied with 30 points. So unless we win this one, we risk falling back to 6th, just like that, with Fiorentina shown the way by Gila (who's the top scorer in the league with 12, mind you, even after missing two matches). I currently stand at 1-1-1 at thread openings (one win, one draw, and the Juve loss, so hopefully Milan comes good in this one). The players worth keeping an eye on in the opponent team are Di Natale, Quagliarella, Luković, Zapata, and their keeper Handanovič: (IMG: http://i39.tinypic.com/29uvm6h.jpg) Anyhoo, as usual, time for some stats between the two clubs, current rankings, head to head, top scorers, etc. (IMG: http://i41.tinypic.com/358s8s5.jpg) (IMG: http://i44.tinypic.com/24npfmq.jpg) (IMG: http://i39.tinypic.com/293yhzl.jpg) (IMG: http://i42.tinypic.com/23wapl.jpg) Date: Sunday, 21 December, 2008 Time: 7:30 pm to 9:30 pm GMT Place: Stadio Giuseppe Meazza (San Siro) Forza Milan!

I'd add Inler and Pepe as guys to watch out for. The Udinese attack is dangerous when on form - and they seem to be getting back to it. Their defense can be porous, however.
Ambrosini and Zambrotta are suspended for this game.
Here's Mediaset's projected lineup: Abbiati; Antonini, Maldini, Kaladze, Jankulovski; Flamini, Emerson, Seedorf; Kakà, Ronaldinho; Pato.

Flamini Seedorf and Pirlo worked in the gym again today. We're not going to have a midfield for this game. (IMG: style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

125 views and 9 replies in two days?! (IMG: style_emoticons/default/sleepysmiley03.gif) Come on guys, you can do better than this. It's almost feels like if I opened a Milan vs Udinese thread in an inter forum? The match is in a couple of days, so hurry up with your news, views, and reviews. Any other time this would have more than 50 replies by now. And oh, let's keep the pessimism on hold, please. And save it for after the match. We've already fallen off the perch in these last few weeks, what's the worse that could happen? If we win, we win. If we lose/draw it's not like it's happened the first time this season. Over to you, guys.

Observation: both Di Natale and Quagliarella were rested for Udinese's UEFA Cup game; to me, that indicates that we'll see them.

Two years ago, it was Milan 2 - 3 Udinese, but nobody really cared. It was the last home game of the season and the game before the CL final so it was mostly a reserve squad. Darmian and Di Gennaro both played (Darmian got a 6). The goals were scored by Gourcuff and by Billy. It was Billy's last game. (IMG: style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) I have no idea what sort of squad is going to be fielded for this game. There's practically no midfield and the defenders? Eek. Need to be on their game against the Udinese attack.

QUOTE (Zed.D @ Dec 20 2008, 09:05 AM)  Well... it was the last game of the season. we were hopeful the other game's result [ Catania-Fiorentina] would turn out in favor of us. and it almost did. almost (IMG: style_emoticons/default/sleep.gif) (even Catania scored the first goal, only to be ruled out for offside (IMG: style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) ). the look on our players and coach's faces on the final whistle were heartbreaking. Besides, it was Cafu and Sergio's farewell game. That was Torino i think.

QUOTE (novfan @ Dec 20 2008, 06:09 PM)  Okay...
FWIW here's the formation I'd like to see...
Abbiati Antonini-----Maldini-----Kaladze----Jankulofski
Flamini
Seedorf-------------------------Dinho Kaka
Sheva Pato That would never happen I personally would like to see something along these lines Zambro--Maldini--Kala--Antonini Seedorf--Flamini Kaka--Pato--Dinho Sheva But what I think Carlo will go for is probably this Zambro--Maldini--Kala--Antonini Seedorf--Flamini--Janku Kaka--Dinho Pato

QUOTE (TriniKing_CE @ Dec 21 2008, 06:48 PM)  ...I actually liked the gold little piece o' s*!t badge! (despite many not favoring it.) So did I. (IMG: style_emoticons/default/innocent.gif) Pity it's not there anymore. QUOTE (TriniKing_CE @ Dec 21 2008, 10:10 PM)  This is possibly one of the deadest match threads I have seen in a while. Yeah, you know what they say, silence is deadly. (IMG: style_emoticons/default/alien.gif) QUOTE (m1ke @ Dec 21 2008, 10:19 PM)  Calm before the storm? I think this is more than calm. (IMG: style_emoticons/default/cry.gif) It's something worse, I've never seen so less an interest in such a vital match, here at Milanfan. Could it be that everyone has given up on the Scudetto, already? QUOTE (han2503 @ Dec 21 2008, 11:46 PM)  At least he removed Janku from the defence... He wouldn't have done this if he had a choice. (IMG: style_emoticons/default/sleepysmiley03.gif) That's the thing I dislike most about Carlo, he likes to stay in his comfort zone. And sometimes, just sometimes, it comes back to bite Milan where it hurts the most.

QUOTE (mishie @ Dec 21 2008, 08:04 PM)  the condition the squad is in there are no real surprise...a 2-1 win and boy we need Forza Milan Hopefully you're right. I just think we're going out with a disjointed formation, that Carlo could have chosen a better one and it will hurt us. Hopefully we play smart to cover for the losses, Janku needs to cover as a DM and attack from the wing, it will be a really tough test for him. And I'm hopeing that Ronnie will be played further up today as a second striker instead of a midfielder
