Just curious as to what shape and formation, and personnel, you'd all pick if our players were fully fit and available.
Mine would be: ----------------------Dida Zambrotta------Nesta------Silva-----Jankulovski -----Gattuso------Flamini-------Seedorf -----------------Ronaldinho ----------Pato-----------KVH |

Hrm. I'm not entirely sure, mostly as I think our fullbacks could be better. So I'll be a little radical.(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
Abbiati Abate - Nesta - Silva - Zambrotta Gattuso - Pirlo - Flamini Seedorf Pato-Huntelaar (Because I think that Rino could cover for defensive oopsies if Abate goes forward too much and have yet this season to see a Ronaldinho in good trequartista form. Oh for a Rui Costa....) |

Personally I thin he'd do brilliant there but I doubt leo would try something as risky as that given our current situation. We are in "must win" mode and were gonna play the way that gets us the results the best even if that means zambrotta/dida/ronaldinho/seedorf or even galliani plays RB.

The lack of Ambro in this thread is disturbing.

Oh for a Rui Costa....) They might not be the youngest, but Zambrotta, and Marek, played in their proper slots, are world class players. Perhaps no longer the best in their positions, they once were, as recently as a couple of years ago, and there's still plenty of class in there. As for Ronaldinho, he showed plenty in the first half of last season to confirm he still has 'it', and while he faded in the second half of the year, that was because...well...he was dropped while on great form. Which I still can't understand. If the team is built around him again, I am convinced he can pick up where he left off last Xmas. |

That's because the captain was chosen because he was here longer not on the more logical requirements like oh the fact that he might not play....

I don't think Nesta will ever be captain -- not that I don't adore him and thin he'd do a grand job. It's more because he was captain of Lazio for such a long time and I'm not sure he'd take the Milan armband out of respect.

With Paolo gone, this would have been the time for him to become the captain. That he hasn't, speaks volumes. Though quite how much is to do with his respect for his previous club and how much is because he wasn't actually offered the role in the first place is up for debate. |

I didn't necessarily agree with the decision to appoint Ambro captain either, but I can understand it. Does it mean that he'll be likely to get the nod over Flamini in midfield if him, Pirlo and Rino are fit?
It's a nice luxury to have I guess - but I thought Flamini was one of our better performers last season. |

I don't have a problem with Ambro getting the armband -- and I'm over in the corner with Kurt and whoarethepatriots in rating the guy rather highly -- but at the same time I'm still not sure he'd be an automatic start right now. So I imagine Rino will end up with the armband a fair amount of the time.
(I think the current order is Ambro-Rino-Pirlo-Pippo). |
