Since no one opened a thread yet, I'll give this a shot, hopefully the team and Allegri worked out the problems we had these past few weeks and we'll get back on track tomorrow night.

QUOTE (Allegri @ today) "It’ll be a tough game tomorrow. Palermo are a well organized and aggressive side. They’re enthusiastic and it will be anything but an easy game but I mean that in the best possible way. It’s an important challenge. Robinho last year did extremely well and in the end he got 14 goals and lots of assists. He’s selfless and a positive man. It’s important to have him back. Also because we’ve lost Boateng to a suspension but those available will play well, I’m sure." “You have to be brave when you play these games. You can’t play with fear. Tomorrow we’ll have to be very careful and very focused because Palermo cover well and get the ball forward quickly. In football today, you don’t win with just technique, you need to be aggressive, courageous and never stop running. These things are fundamental to winning. Sometimes you may be a bit unlucky but the foundations are technique, running, courage and team work." “We need three points tomorrow and also to be aware of the importance of playing technically well and aggressively. We can’t play just well enough or be presumptuous. 5 points out of 5 games is not a lot but there’s a long way to go and perhaps in one month’s time we’ll be talking about a very different situation. We’re getting a lot of players back. In times of difficulty is when you need a big performance.” "Abbiati is fine. There’s no problem with him just as there’s no problem with Ibra, none whatsoever. Abbiati showed himself to be the best performing goalkeeper last year. He has done well this year even if he’s had a bit of bad luck with some isolated incidents. But he’ll get back on track and show himself as one of the best keepers in the league and he has all my faith. Ambosini won’t be playing. Mexes will probably be available. I’ll make up my mind about Robinho later today. We’d been playing every three days and were not exactly bright eyed going to Turin. We got the game wrong technically. I was angry personally because with three minutes left in the game you have to stay focused and you can’t concede a goal like that. But regardless of anything else, tomorrow we’ll have to play a good game and create enough to be able to win it. There’s no tiredness and that shouldn’t be an excuse anyway. Palermo deserve respect like all teams and we’ll have to play as we can do with a big performance. We were favorites at the start of the season and we still are now." MORE FROM THE COACH: "In Turin Cassano did some good things but the reality is that the whole team didn’t play well. He didn’t say he’s quitting tomorrow, but after three and a half years. He told a joke and that was all. He’s an important player for the club just as he was last season. He still full of desire and he’s doing great things both for Milan and for Italy and he has to keep going. I’ll judge Ibrahimovic for what he does on the pitch. He’s back with desire and the right kind of determination. He’s fine, he feels positive and for me that’s what counts." "Last season I played all of my 32 players. Anyone at Milan can be trusted. El Shaarawy is young, he did well at Padova and he’s doing well here, but the weight of the club shouldn’t fall on his shoulders. He’s still growing. He could start tomorrow and he could start from the bench. He’s got potential and should be left to grow in peace. I’m happy because in the last two weeks he’s seems to be getting better and I believe that will continue. There’s the risk that Boateng will leave in January for the African Nations Cup. He was out for a month after the Barcelona game. He has to get back in shape but I think he can do well and improve as much as he did last year. Like everyone else, he has to keep on pushing and not be happy where he is." "Thiago is fine. He did a warm down yesterday and played with the team today. He’ll be on the pitch tomorrow." "Now is not the time to talk about transfers. The priority at the moment is to get all three points.” http://www.acmilan.com/en/news/show/136499

QUOTE (X-Offender @ Oct 14 2011, 09:48 PM)  Whom do we play instead? All our other DMs are injured. Not that I miss them or anything. I was thinking if there's a chance that Allegri plays like this: Abbiati Abate - Mexes - Silva - Taiwo Nocerino - Aquilani Robinho - El Sharaawy - Cassano Ibrahimovic (IMG: http://this11.com/boards/abBoYtdabx.jpg)

Mediaset's probable line-up: Abbiati; Abate, Nesta, Thiago Silva, Antonini; Nocerino, Van Bommel, Emanuelson; Aquilani; Ibrahimovic, Cassano. Seriously, if Allegri goes with Antonini and Emanuelson ahead of Taiwo and Robinho, and with Aquilani as trequartista once again, then he clearly has not learned his lesson yet. In other words, he's an idiot. (IMG: style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Zambro and Taiwo are both available and should be playing ahead of him. Why he's insisting with Urby is another issue that I can't wrap my head around. He's a decent player who's good to have as a utility player. Not a starter FFS Allegri!! I seriously cannot take his cr@p anymore

QUOTE (X-Offender @ Oct 15 2011, 11:23 AM)  Well, Zambrotta wasn't called, so he's not available.
Anyway, Mediaset today has changed line-up. It has Robinho as trequartista and Aquilani as LCM. Much better, but still needs Taiwo instead of Antonini. Taiwo is obviously black listed (IMG: style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Antonini the only black spot. Why isn't he giving Taiwo the chance to integrate with the team. It's not like we have Evra or Cole instead, it's Antonini FFS!

Why the f**** are we doing those corner tricks again. A veteran like Nesta runs all the way forward just to see how Cassano and Robinho loose the ball almost instantly.

QUOTE (il_diavolo_mtl @ Oct 15 2011, 09:06 PM)  Cassano is so in form he is the Forward we should ride for as long as possible I'd pick Zlatan's performance over anyone's Cassano should have scored in the 1st half, and I find it hard to bring myself to like a guy who's constantly throwing himself to the floor.

QUOTE (X-Offender @ Oct 15 2011, 09:49 PM)  Seedorf still has problems with his knee. He should be available for BATE. Mexes should have been ready, at least for the bench. No idea about Yepes. Inzaghi wasn't called due to "Allegri reasons". (IMG: style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) Seriously? Oh god, that could really mean Pippo leaving. It would be sad. What a jerk Allegri can be.

This was by far our best game in the season, so far. We had the game at hand for the whole 90 minutes. Ball possession was 38 mins. - 14 mins. and shots on goal were 10-0, both in our favor, of course. But beyond numbers, I wanted to mention that Allegri did surprise me this time, positively. He played Nocerino on the left, the role he covered at Palermo, and opted for his insertions a lot during the game, which led to the first goal and many other occasions. It is exactly the role Boateng should cover. Aquilani played on the right with many times centering alongside Van Bommel to organize the game. Abate and Antonini pushed a lot and were effective. We played some fluid and quick football. The midfielders were constantly pressing Palermo's players, and Ibra-Robi-Cassano were on super form. Only negative note was Thiago's injury. Hopefully it's nothing serious.
FORZA MILAN!!!

With all due respect, Palermo was horrific as well. We shouldn't just yet enter the rosy comfortable zone.

But was Juventus even good against us? I don't think so, it was only Milan being completely incompatible and idea less. This match is completely different.
