Apperantly we could be facing a major situation in terms of available players for this game. Cassano sick, Boateng with a knock, Pippo and El Shaa not in the list, Seedorf might be still out.
We'll have to wait and see, but we could be looking at Urby behind the strikers for this one if Boateng and Cassano are not fit

Called up:
GOALKEEPERS – Abbiati, Amelia, Roma. DEFENDERS – Abate, Bonera, De Sciglio, Nesta, Taiwo, Thiago Silva, Zambrotta, Yepes. MIDFIELDERS – Ambrosini, Aquilani, Boateng, Emanuelson, Nocerino, Seedorf. STRIKERS – Ibrahimovic, Robinho, Ganz.
Allegri: "Ambrosini will play from the start tomorrow. Van Bommel needs to rest, which is why I haven't selected him for this match."

Allegri: "Ambrosini will play from the start tomorrow. Van Bommel needs to rest, which is why I haven't selected him for this match." Bleh, at least we're facing a terrible team and he should (used loosely) be able to handle it From that list it has to be Abate--Thiago--Yepes--Taiwo Aqui--Ambro--Nocerino Boateng Ibra-Robs Pretty sure Allegri would go with this although I'd like to see Boateng in the midfield 3 and Seedorf starting as well. Really go for an attacking line-up that can easily control the tempo and possession. But we all know Allegri will choose the rough and tumble line-up against a 3rd rate team (IMG: style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

QUOTE (kurtsimonw @ Oct 31 2011, 05:01 PM)  I think Seedorf will start. I'm hopping for it. But if he does, it would be in place of Aqui and not Noceino, which would make sense seeing as an extra DM is an absolute waste in this one

QUOTE (CHU-LIP @ Oct 31 2011, 05:29 PM)  IF Seedorf starts, I think as AM, because I don't think Boateng can start this one. I don't think he would have been called up if that were the case

QUOTE (il_diavolo_mtl @ Oct 31 2011, 06:42 PM)  Since we're resting our players... Abbiati
Abate - Nesta - Yepes - Taiwo
Aquilani - Ambro - Urby
Seedorf
Robi - Ibra
I'd rest Nesta, not Thiago

So I was just reading the stats page kurt updates (thanks for that btw kurt (IMG: style_emoticons/default/king.gif) ). And these guys are on a yellow - Nesta, Nocerino, Van Bommel Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't that mean that another yellow for those guys would equal a suspension? And guess who we play next in the CL after BATE... I say none of those should be played, especially not Nesta, VB we already know won't be playing, but I really don't want to see Nesta get suspended for the Barca game, neither Nocerino because we'll need him big time as well for that one

QUOTE (Jack Bauer @ Oct 31 2011, 09:18 PM)  Allegri:
"Ambrosini, Abate, Nesta, Boateng, Ibrahimovic and Robinho will definitely start vs. BATE Borisov." "I’m not sure about whether Seedorf, Nocerino and Aquilani will play from the start." "I still have to decide whether it's going to be Taiwo or Zambrotta, who will play the left back position." Wonder why he would risk losing Nesta for Barca over this game. We can easily make it with Yepes next to Thiago

I know this might be a weird timing, but I like this one actually. It comes at around 10 pm Indian time, which is just perfect.

Ambro just looks aweful, even against this opposition! A player is wide open to his left, he passes to the marked player instead and we lose the ball (IMG: style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

QUOTE (KillerMax @ Nov 1 2011, 06:48 PM)  Is Aqua even an average player? I consider Taiwo average for Milan. Aqua? What has he been doing since joining us? I can almost predict what he is going to do every time he gets the ball... Make a long pass to the opposing team and then act like nothing bad just happened and jug around... I guess this is why no one wanted him and we were able to get him for 20 bucks... Have you seen the assist sheet? (IMG: style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

(IMG: style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) I mean, Aquilani directly resulted in 5 goals, and only Cassano has two more. Sure, you can say that Cassano is in a bit of a "Goldrush Zone" with the way everything passes through him, but Aquman can still cut it. More than a certain someone, I may add, who is injured currently. (IMG: style_emoticons/default/sleep.gif) I'll take an average player with 5 assists.

Can't wait for Sky to declare us useless, and miles behind now.
If this were United or Chelsea it would be a minor blip according to them.

The players clearly weren;t completely there imo, even in the first half. It was just too clumsly, too jittery. BATE obviously sensed that and really went at it in the 2nd half. Although they got a soft penalty while we were clearly denied one for that handball right in front of the extra official (which is as useless as a dish rag, they might as well just stick a manikin there and be don with it (IMG: style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) )

At least they usually speak sense, as 2 of them actually played for Milan so they don't laugh at them as has-been's like the majority of the media does over here. I thought Redknapp was on it to be honest, I don't even watch Sky's pre-game stuff anymore it's gone absolutely abysmal since Keys/Gray went.

Milan were not perfect upfront, especially in the first half where the oppositions' defenders were frightened by our attacking potential. We lost chances, and did not try hard enough to get more balls through the center .. I blame Aquilani, on PES he would have the red upside-down arrow. All in all, the first half seemed like a practice session. Second half, the team came out super-confident as if this game was already won .. After they drew, it was already too late, BATE played with heart and though they didn't have the technical ability, they had to run a lot and press hard. They played as if it was a final, however Milan played and attacked for 93 minutes. We have 8 points, Barca will get to 10 points, we will respectively qualify after this round .. Moreover a 2 point difference means we have to win at San Siro against them. What's up with Taiwo? He doesn't even show the composure of someone who has CL experience .. I miss Sergio (IMG: style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) BATE 0 - 2 Milan Shevchenko (IMG: style_emoticons/default/cry.gif) Another thing .. Who needs Inzaghi (IMG: style_emoticons/default/96.gif)

Pathetic. Especially our "first choice" LB Taiwo. Give him time - sure - but I knew this would happen with him. He was solid at Marseille, but for us he's no good.
