Back to business, first league game of 2012. Hopefully we start the year on a high.
Juve will be away to Lecce, so I can't really see the opportunity to gain ground here, but you never know... Anyone have any idea on who is still injured? |

QUOTE Milan (4-3-1-2): Abbiati; Bonera, Nesta, Thiago Silva, Antonini; Aquilani, Van Bommel, Nocerino; Boateng; Pato, Ibrahimovic. A disp.: Amelia, Zambrotta, Mexes, Gattuso, Seedorf, Emanuelson, Robinho. This is the mediaset lineup. Gazzetta have Robs starting ahead of Pato, I personally think Pato is the better choice as he needs to start playing if we want to get him scoring as much as possible. I'd personally sit Aqui down in this one and start Urby, or push Boateng back and bring in Robinho. Aqui is a yellow away from being suspended. That would mean losing him for the Inter game |

So I wouldn't do that, too riskful, and that only in case he gets yellow... |

Very clumsy challenges in every game, it would weaken us very slightly imo, but I prefer that weakness to be against Atalanta than Inter... |

Abbiati; Zambrotta, Nesta, Thiago Silva, Antonini; Aquilani, Van Bommel, Nocerino; Boateng; Pato, Ibrahimovic.
We have the worst fullbacks in the league. |

Taiwo should be given the chane in this one, while playing Zambro is much better than playing Bonera. Hopefully Abate gets back for the derby so we can play him on the right and Zambro on the left |

Glad to see Boateng being pushed back, what I don't like seeing is Urby once again behind the strikers. Play Robinho there FFS, it would save a lot of hassle! |

As for the full-backs, I could play both Daniele Bonera and Gianluca Zambrotta, but I have to evaluate the situation. I find it ridiculous that he only considers Urby as an AM, when he's so far from being that it's not even funny |

Now I wish we had Montolivo...
And we need to play a mid over Robinho at least at AM, cuz we can't allow only 3 mids with that weak midfield. Urby, Carmona, Valoti, Idunno.. I wish we had Merkel even more This post has been edited by CHU-LIP: Jan 7 2012, 03:46 PM |

Robinho would help link it all up, far better than Urby |

CHU considers Boateng an offensive player, remember? To him, with Robinho, we'd be playing with four attackers and only two midfielders.

I don't see how Emanuelson can make the difference. I my opinion it's better to play a midfield of classy workers and fighters without a true AM (which we're playing anyway all season long) then add in one half-decent and newly pronounced AM like Emanuelson.

So: Carmona Nocerino , Van Bommel , Boateng Because if we going to play Robinho as AM, it will be runners, runners, and runners, oh, and Van Bommel...

El Shaarawy has played for Milan only as forward/ss. And looking at how he plays, I think it's for the best to keep it that way, at least for now. AM gives more responsibility, responsibility you better can give to Robinho, or an actual midfielder like Carmona, Emanuelson and Boateng. And of course Carmona won't start, just posting what I would. Emanuelson is going to start at AM, or Robinho. This post has been edited by CHU-LIP: Jan 8 2012, 01:53 AM |

We need players who will make a difference, playing a youth player really won't make any sense as he would be easily bowled over by an Atalanta side who will play a very physical game. So what if we don't have a typically creative player in the midfield?? We still mostly rely on Ibra to create the goal opportunities, Aqui just keeps the ball moving, something Boateng will still manage to do without much trouble. And who's talking about Monto or Merkel?? They're not even part of the team! Our options are Urby or Robs, which is why EVERYONE here wants Robinho to start behind the strikers which would be the logical thing to do QUOTE (Fillipo Simone @ Jan 8 2012, 01:18 AM) I don't see how Emanuelson can make the difference.

Hmh, honestly, I wouldn't say it was a just penalty. Milan scored now 6 goals from penalties, Serie A record.
We lead, yet we didn't do anything. No possession, no build-up. |

Emanuelson is a freakin' joke. The guy is obviously a side player, but Allegri seems to see a creative AM in him. What's next? Pippo doing the job?

We need players who will make a difference, playing a youth player really won't make any sense as he would be easily bowled over by an Atalanta side who will play a very physical game. So what if we don't have a typically creative player in the midfield?? We still mostly rely on Ibra to create the goal opportunities, Aqui just keeps the ball moving, something Boateng will still manage to do without much trouble. And who's talking about Monto or Merkel?? They're not even part of the team! Our options are Urby or Robs, which is why EVERYONE here wants Robinho to start behind the strikers which would be the logical thing to do Agreed So if it's such a bad idea, why are we all now complaining about Emanuelson, as usual? |

I think Robinho would be the better option, he makes those runs that create a lot of space, and that is what we really need atm. I don't really feel that this is the right place for El Shaa to come on. Atalanta are very good imo, and don't forget unbeaten at home. If it's possible we need to score another goal and close up shop ASAP once the 2nd half begins |

Why isn't Pato allowed to take the penalties he's earned?! isn't Ibra taking a bit too many penalties this season? he's probably scored more goals from the spot than in regular play!

Tribbocchi is a very fine striker, 2 years ago he had 4-5 wondergoals in his effort to keep Atalanta up. Truly a gritty technical player.
