No Flamini I'm sure. I'm just putting out the formation I want to see. We'll most likely see Rino, Abbiati, Antonini and maybe even Robinho start (IMG: style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

(IMG: style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) What's that got to do with anything? If we put a strong midfield 3 behind him the Khedira won't be allowed to focus on just Dinho like the game against Madrid where they had it way to easy thatnks to Rino and Seedorf jogging along. And what will playing Robinho as a "trequartista" (IMG: style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) bring to our game exactly? We'll end up playing the 4-3-3, draw it however you like that's what we'll end up playing, Pato pushed out thus rendered useless, Ibra having to play with his back to goal and Robinho disappearing like he did today. We had no penetration into Juve's terrible backline, which was missing Chiellini and were playing with Pepe of all people at RB. How do you exactly justify that Robinho should still be starting? Your points were proved null and void today

look at inter inter and real games this an previous season.. What a great tactical assesment (IMG: style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) Also you're so quick to blame it all on Dinho when there were so many problems in all those games you're talking about that Dinho should be the least of our worries

No Flamini I'm sure. Actually, this is one of the thing Max is right. Rino has played almost every match good or very good. Also, he's our captain, and we need one. But this match I agree; we need Flamini, especially a fresh Flamini.

Say all you want, but I can't bare watching Gattuso play. The only thing he's capable of, besides chasing opponents like a mad dog, is playing the ball back to whoever gave it to him. Like, you pass it to me, I pass it to you, you pass it to me, I pass it to you, you pass it to me, I pass it to you... You get the idea.

But this match I agree; we need Flamini, especially a fresh Flamini. I don't really see the 'very good' you speak of. Don't get me wrong I'm a big Rino fan, but compare this Rino to the Rino of just 2 short years ago and you wouldn't even think he's the same player. He's just not doing what needs to be done, that mean covering Pirlo, winning the ball and passing it quickly to Pirlo, now as ari said, he's getting into the most awkward positions for im, he's practically our most advanced mid, and that is just ridiculous, he's shooting shots that he has no business shooting, trying stupid lobs that never make it and just leaving Pirlo behind to do the dirty work. Imo Flamini should be our undisputed regular, it's such a waste to have him on the bench especially considering what our options are. QUOTE (arivanjj @ Oct 31 2010, 03:18 AM)  agreed. he doesnt help the game flow in any way, gets in awkward positions and has a good moment or two in an entire 90 minutes. Exactly QUOTE (MizNelson @ Oct 31 2010, 03:20 AM)  No way Amelia is getting the start. I know, again it's what I want to see, not what I think we'll see... (IMG: style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Abbiati was just horrible against Juve the mistakes he made... Both goals he had a part in and Amelia whenever he's played has been nothing short of perfect, wile Abbiati seems to have 1 great game, 1 horrible game QUOTE (Fillipo Simone @ Oct 31 2010, 08:20 AM)  I don't think this redux is serious. Sure, you can simplify every player that way, and the truth is Gattuso is old and shabby, but he has it still in him. He's our captain, that counts also.
But yes, if you ask me, I'd bench him for Real and teams with fast midfielders like them and play Flamini just like you said. Also, Nesta would be captain, not Pirlo. But... No he doesn't have it still in him imo, I remember a Rino who wouldn't let someone get past him even if that means he lost a leg in the process, this Rino gets nutmegged on a regular basis, mediocre players can easily run past him, and yes he runs a lot but that doesn't mean anything, especially if he's not doing his job. I like seeing Pirlo as our captain, personally I think he's always been our best choice, Rino and Ambro both have issues when it comes to getting too heated up. Pirlo is all about his quite presence. Nesta will never be our captain.

I know. But, IMO Nesta would be the prefect pick.
And sure, you're right with Rino not being half the player he was. But I still rate him and I still think he can bring Milan good. But, what I don't understand is why Allegri acts like he has no alternative. Flamini should be tested. IMO he's not as good as y'all expect him to be, but he should be tested.

I watched him a lot during his time at Arsenal, so I know what he can really bring to the table, and no he hasn't really shown that at Milan, but I don't blame him for that since he's never been given a real chance. Rino imo should be a cover player not a starter.

QUOTE (X-Offender @ Nov 1 2010, 08:20 PM)  According to Studio Sport, Allegri will play the exact same line-up of the first game (meaning, the dreadful Pirlo-Gattuso-Seedorf midfield), only with Thiago instead of Bonera. I just hope Madrid don't humiliate us with another 4-0. (IMG: style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) You mean Gattuso, Pirlo, Seedorf, Ronaldinho, Pato and Ibrahimovic as our midfield+forward? Where is the balance?

I can't believe that Allegri is even contemplating playing that 4 in midfield. It will be a disaster!! Rino and Seedorf connot be on the pitch, not together with Dinho. Imo if we're going to play 4-3-1-2 it has to e Dinho, therefore that means the mid has to be quick. Pirlo and Dinho are the brains we need, but they'll make us slow, so the other 2 need to inject some pace into us, either that or the midfield get run over again

(IMG: style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Allegri seems to think that this lineup will be able to do to ANYONE what it did to Lecce (plus Ibra). This is interesting. We've lost to Madrid, we've lost to Juve. We're probably going to lose to Madrid with this lineup, and if we see the lineup against Inter, we'll lose to them too. Allegri could be done sooner than later..

You get the idea. agrreeee 1000000% I just cant understand how alegri is counted like a good coach when he plays gatuso for god sake, he is useless I can tunderstand even some of fans tha, think gatuso played good or very good exepst for pass it to me pass it to u he loses almost every ball when he tries to pas a long ball tha every team that plays against us lets garusso free all the time so he can get the ball couse they now that he will or turn it back or loose it, he is slow he is a defensive midfilder and he never defends he never cuts any actions any more hes aleays some steps behind the opponent, did u see his shooting from 16 to 20 meters man thats ridicoulus how can someone play in a team like milan and cant shoot the ball precisely from 20 m from goal and still he starts and some people think he is playing well, the only think he does well he always chases the oponents till the end but never on time to cut the action, and I think tha alla the teams pray that gatusso will play so they will leave him free al the time and he will get all the balls and try to llob the defensese hahahha omg omg. I think that I love leonardo couse he told him that he is useless and he managed to get back in form ronaldinho while alegri managed to get back on form gatusso imagine to players with light years difference in fotball..... ok its the end Im disapointed in milan coach and I dont know if is allegri to blame or tassoti talks him in to this or berluskoni but I think leonardo was much better tha alegri, and he is one of the less coches who never takes the blame but puts ithe blame in his team, I hope we get rid of him as soon as possible, I think tha robinho is very weak in duels and looses a lot of balls smae goes for pirlo ho pasees those long balls 90% wrong and noone blames him, belive that ronie is the best when it coms to passin assisting and holding the ball with him on the pitch I now we would score 4 goals, i could go like thiss talking for days couse I m dispointed and mad but I will stop here anyway I would like to see this formation abiati/ amelia, zambro, nesta, tiago, antonini, boateng, pirlo /sedorf, flamini(always from the start) ronaldinho ibra pato and I m sure no one can beat us, but I see that alegri thinks different so its useless dreaming only hoping for a better coach in the near future

QUOTE (CHU-LIP @ Nov 2 2010, 11:25 AM)  Nah, Zlatan instead of Borriello is a huge upgrade, We didn't need Robinho, we better signed an AMC.. Agreed. Robinho would have proved a valid alternative for Leo's 4-2-1-3, but with our current playing style, we'd have benefitted much more from an AM. And please, don't bring the Borriello-Ibrahimovic debate anymore. They're worlds apart. Fact is, without Ibra, we'd be much worse than we currently are. Simply, he's been our best player so far.

Naah, that's the kind of comment a Cagliari coach would make after a hard match against Juve. Really sad how slow the man adapts.

QUOTE (acid911 @ Nov 2 2010, 01:14 PM)  Word. (IMG: style_emoticons/default/king.gif) Robinho provide depth, but do we really need it when there is a glaring hole in our midfield. I just hope we snapped up Hernanes. He'd been perfect. Think about how much better it would have been if we signed the much cheaper Hernanes over Robinho. But for some reason management said Honda being non-EU was a problem, so it should be also with Hernanes. So what does that mean? Has the spot been reserved all this time? Kaká in January? I don't know, it's annoying. If only we signed Hernanes over Robinho, then we would have had a backup for Pirlo and someone for Ronaldinho's spot. Would have made our (attacking) midfield so much better. Of course no Robinho should mean either Borriello staying or someone else in (that one can be lots of cheaper since we're talking about depth - more important is to have a good starting AMC than a good backup forward). How frustrated is it to see Hernanes go for 10 mio to Lazio while Milan has been following him for years, people have been drooling about him for years, he used to be very expensive, and now for 10 mio to Lazio? Seriously? (IMG: style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

Guys, Robinho was signed for the intent of using him as a back-up for Dinho and Pato in our 3-men attack. But, since we've switched to a playing style that involves three midfielders and a trequartista, Robinho becomes less necessary, unless he's used as a trequartista himself.
This season, we have to arrange with what we have (which is not bad, actually), but next season, when many contracts will expire, we have to invest a good amount on a pure AMC, and resolve our playing style problem once and for all: 4-3-1-2!

QUOTE (I_Rossoneri @ Nov 2 2010, 10:49 PM)  But Hernanes was a relative unknown while Binho was well known and had done well in the world cup Yes, but I never thought too highly of Robinho, from the first time I saw him, up until now. (IMG: style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) He just not has that quality that separates really good players from great, the one that R99, Kaka, etc had in them. I just think Robin's got a really lucky (and $$$-filed) ride to Madrid and Manchester. So in essence, we kind of knew what Robinho is capable of, and while he is a good addition to the squad, he is not what we absolutely needed. B&G thought that we can splash a bit of a money on creating our on Fantastic 4 - well we need a working mid for them to play to their potential. This they probably forgot. Hernanes, now that is a player one could take a risk with. (IMG: style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) And at perfect age too, not like those teenager or early twenty kids that jump out from Brazil, he actually has stayed there and learned his trade, and well is a darn good player too. So is Ganso I think, and while it still would be a gamble, I hope Milan takes that.

Hernanes, old enough to make us stronger short term, young enough to be a good long term signing, especially for what Lazio paid. About Ganso, shame he's having a serious injury, so he can't help us this season.

QUOTE (I_Rossoneri @ Nov 2 2010, 08:54 PM)  Yes it was meant to be nice (IMG: style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) And isn't it ironic that Hernanes was one of the players Leo requested last year but was turned down. I'm not sure if it's ironic, but I find it very annoying and frustrated. Milan and Hernanes have been a link since forever, we are having no backup for Pirlo (Seedorf is the ONLY one capable of doing it), we have no AMC option that makes our mouths shuts (IMG: style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG: style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) ...and still we don't sign Hernanes who we have been following for many years (IMG: style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) (IMG: style_emoticons/default/cry.gif) QUOTE (X-Offender @ Nov 2 2010, 09:08 PM)  I don't know about you, but I trust Antonini more than Abate, regardless of the latest performances. I'm not so sure anymore. I want from now on either Oddo or Abate as right back, the only ones who can properly cross (though Oddo needs to prove it wasn't his rarely good day), and Zambrotta as left back. I don't believe Abate is really that bad as some think, I am starting to believe he is better than Antonini (not last season's Antonini of course).

QUOTE (X-Offender @ Nov 2 2010, 09:21 PM)  But Antonini was the one who crossed for Ibra's goal on Saturday. (IMG: style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) Our last three assists were from full backs. What full back problem? (IMG: style_emoticons/default/96.gif)

QUOTE (William405 @ Nov 2 2010, 09:25 PM)  Come on Antonini is way better than Abate as a fullback,he played very good against Madrid.One performance and you're writing him off... It's not one preformance, Antonini is having a bad season. Feel free to disagree, because I really don't know who to prefer when it comes to our full backs, but this is not based on 1 game, but on this season. I really got sick of Antonini this season when it comes to defending, he is so weak. Abate is slowly winning my trust comparing to Antonini. I rate Abate's crossing higher, and first I thought Abate should not be preferred over Antonini because Abate is worse in defending but Antonini is doing his best to make think different when it comes to that.

QUOTE (CHU-LIP @ Nov 2 2010, 08:01 PM)  YES! Hopefully this will mean Zambrotta as left back. No Antonini please! Zambrotta and Abate FTW, at leaast for now. Can you picture Abate up against C.Ron or Di Maria???

Hopefully it will be Abate attacking against them,I still think we should use him as a midfielder...We should try and dominate the midfeild and rest will be taken care of by our awesome strikers,that way we're way more solid on defense and somewhat better on the attack without having to deal with counter attacks. Something like that: Amelia Defense Boetang-Flamini-Abate Pirlo Ibra-Pato You dig? (IMG: style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Can Boetang play on the left side?

No, no Abate please. I don't see how this guy can contribute to Milan in any option. If you ask me, he's pure Cagliari/Chievo etc. material.
Antonini played bad, yes, but give him a slack. I think he was pushed in the match too fast. He's in fact our only LB option this season which puts not only much pressure on him but is very exhausting. He plays most of the matches and most of them till the end. So,..yes, he's bad, but no, he's no way weaker then Abate. Any half-good right winger or attacker can tear him into pieces.

QUOTE (X-Offender @ Nov 2 2010, 05:45 PM)  Guys, Robinho was signed for the intent of using him as a back-up for Dinho and Pato in our 3-men attack. But, since we've switched to a playing style that involves three midfielders and a trequartista, Robinho becomes less necessary, unless he's used as a trequartista himself.
This season, we have to arrange with what we have (which is not bad, actually), but next season, when many contracts will expire, we have to invest a good amount on a pure AMC, and resolve our playing style problem once and for all: 4-3-1-2! Personally I would like to see Milan play a 3-4-1-2 with abate and antonini running up and down the lanes prince/flamini & pirlo in the middle and dinho/robinho playing behind the 2 strikers. But I wouldn't try that at an important game like Milan - Real Madrid.

But I wouldn't try that at an important game like Milan - Real Madrid. Or you should try it vs Real so you have 5 defenders when no possession. Pato - Zlatan Pirlo Antonini - Boateng - Gattuso - Abate Thiago Silva - Nesta - Sokratis Abbiati This way Antonini and Abate can go over the flanks more often and their defensive liabilities are not a big problem anymore. Pirlo will do the playmaking, also he got some mates covering for him. edit: I understand a 3-5-2 won't happen so change the on paper formation: Pato - Zlatan Pirlo Boateng - Gattuso - Abate Antonini - Thiago Silva - Nesta - Sokratis Abbiati (IMG: style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (edit II: Sokratis can be also Bonera, I could live with that)
