Back to CL acton for the tie (most) of us dreaded.

Don't know how we'll cope as we'll be missing Thiago, VB, Abate and probably Robinho

Considering all the injuries, this most probably gonna be our line-up:

Abbiati
Bonera - Nesta - Mexes - Antonini
Aqui - Ambro - Nocerino
Boateng
Ibra - El Sha

Nothing is impossible but with the injuries we have we cannot even say that we're going out there in the best possible condition.

Something tells me that we'll be seeing something similar to the Roma game. Allegri won't go gung-ho in the San Siro seein as it's the first leg. We'll most likely sit deep and punt it up at Ibra hoping to catch out their height challenged players

That's the clever way to go. Press them in midfield and hit them on the counter. If we try to face them wide open, like we did in the second leg of the group stage, we'll be fish food before we know it.

Agreed.

I'd still like to see us going with a 3 man back line. Ambro is a huge headache in that center and he will cost us. Putting in another CB and an extra mid to cover the defence and centre midfield should be the way to go imo.

Bonera--Nesta--Mexes
Nocerino--Aqui--Ambro--Urby
Prince
Ibra--Robs/El Shaa

Considering latest injuries and performances, our formation would like this, as Urby played perfectly in traquertista role, and Allegri's recent comments on Urby, I guess Urby will start the match against barca (considering that he is good at defending) but he would look better in midfield rather than in traquertista's role when Prince is in his good game.
Bonera - Nesta - Mexes - Antonini
Prince/Urby - Ambro - Nocerino

I want El Sha to start. after a few disappointing games, I think he did very well against Roma and looked like the player we saw before those games. besides Barca players don't know him that well, he could turn out to be our secret weapon. and especially because it's at San Siro where there'll be less pressure on him to perform.

So, please Max, don't risk Binho if he's not 100% fit.

Well, El Shaarawy never passes the ball, and Ibra has been rather individualist lately. There were plenty of moments against Roma when they tried the individual solution rather than playing ball to their teammates.

I really want to understand Allegri's logic behind this. I mean, in a game where we need to make intense pressure and counterattack, and the only thing we cannot do is ball possession, where exactly does Seedorf fit in?

Nothing is certain yet, according to milannews. Aqui, Seedorf and Urby fighting for the RCM spot. Ambro, Nocerino and Boaten are a sure starters.

And it must be so too. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) We should try and get as many minutes as we can from Aquilani, and if Seedorf has to play, it should be in the last 30 minutes or less. Even then, we will need fresh legs to cover and protect him. Sure it all depends on how the match is going by then, but if we need to hold the ball then the Dutchman gets a shot.

But to expect him to mount attacks, and match Barcelona from the word go, is, well, let's just leave it that.

Won't be a popular decision, but of the 3 I'd go Urby. He's the best runner of the 3 and that's what you need against Barca. Aqui and Seedorf are far better on the ball, but how often are they really going to have it?

I agree with Kurt, we need our best runners with a bit of stamina out there (Urby, Noce, KPB). Seedorf in particular shouldn't be anywhere near this game. playing him in the first game against Arsenal -whose style of play is pretty similar to Barca's only at a lower level- was a mistake (though his early injury practically saved that game for us), not playing him in the second game where we had a 4 goal advantage and could afford to keep possession and slow things down was also a mistake. I hope Max doesn't repeat them this time around.

If we are going to play absorption game against Barcelona, then yes we need all runners. This would mean we'll sit in our half and invite them in, while the defense soaks the pressure. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) We may as well not play an attack, because they'll be isolated upfront. But if the idea is to score a goal or two, then we will need Mr. Aquilani.

Nocerino and Boateng will do enough running as it is. If the Urby I know shows up, he'll most probably be stifled out of the game in no time and we'll be chasing for 90 minutes from moment zero.

I forgot about Aquaman. he should definitely play.

I wish we'd tested Urby in LB more so we would know how good he actually is there; better or worse than Antonini.

Yes, and besides, Barcalona will have a better game plan against Urby, seeing as he's played almost nonstop this year with us. It will not be that hard for them to review video highlights and sort him out. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Aquman not so much. There will be a bit of an element of surprise with him, which we can turn into a slight advantage for us.

I wouldn't mind seeing them both, or even Seedorf. But a rotation is in order for that position.

Based upon what? It's not even guarenteed that he'll play. This game and the tie is going to come down to defense. We have to be airtight in the back to have any hope in this tie.

We have a very fit Aquilani, why not play him? Does Allegri seriously think that Seedorf's experience will somehow save our butts or something? What kind of manager does these amateurish mistakes? For crying out loud!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

I am not sure it is a done deal, at least I hope so. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) Like I said, I still have hope for Aquilani starting.

Allegri said that we will play offensive(attack)Yes,Seedorf is a good option for holding down play etc...but like said before barca will have the ball most of the time,as well as Barca's midfield will eat him up.We always hope to expect that magical performance from a legend,but we should use him for the last 20-30min,kinda like wenger used Henry.

Exactly. Seedorf is 36. Even if he was in perfect condition, he would never sustain 90 minutes of high intensity football. Not to mention that he has not the characteristics suitable for such a game. Please god, change Allegri's mind!

I'm hoping it's a smokescreen for Aquilani. I think we will play long balls against them and Aquilani is imperative for such a tactic.

That's a major bummer, then. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) No chance in a years Seedorf should be there. If the sticky midfield of Barcelona target him personally, then we can be in big trouble. We'll probably have to sacrifice Nocerino to cover for Seedorf, and Boateng to battle alone with help. Dear, dear.

The only way I'd see Seedorf is by playing him as AM and Boateng as RCM.

Aquilani is your answer. He's not slow, he can press and play ball. In other words, the perfect choice against Barça.

How exactly did I overrate his defensive characteristics? I didn't say he's a defensive stallion. I only said he's not sluggish and can press, unlike Seedorf who's the total opposite.

While Aquilani is not "slow", he's not really fast either. if I wanted to rate his speed, it'd be 6.5 out of 10, max.

Won't be a popular decision, but of the 3 I'd go Urby. He's the best runner of the 3 and that's what you need against Barca. Aqui and Seedorf are far better on the ball, but how often are they really going to have it?

I tend to agree with that. Pressuring Barca and keeping tight in both midfield and defence is the number one priority. Seedorf and Aqui will simply not work hard enough

Seedorf will do his job later on. I still have immense respect for him, and if we somehow grab us a goal advantage, he's the person we need in.

Agreed. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Since he's not played for a while, it seems a lot of us here are forgetting his capabilities. He can take care of himself, while pressing the opposition, and more importantly create chances and scoring opportunities. A rich man's Emanuelson, though he's got a lower watt battery, but that's okay.

Like I said, a lot will depend on the gameplan and mindset. I'll be okay with Emanuelson too, but that is if we are not to assert our advantage from the starting whistle. If we are playing a soaking game, then perfect. Anyway, this is our home, we shouldn't be missing out on pulling whatever strings we can.

As long as the defense remains solid (it will be slow, that much I can tell you), we should look to score.

I'm pretty sure we've all read it by now, but here's piece of Allegri's pre-game press conference:

I don't know how we can expect to do an Inter to Barca with some of the players we have in defense and midfield. who can we rely on to do a Zanetti on Messi? ... .

Nevertheless, the group games were not worth taking too seriously because we were gonna advance anyway so we played attacking whenever we could without having to worry too much, but this time around I think we need to be as defensive as we can. if we push forward a lot we'll concede too much space in our 1/3rd and that will be the end of us. we need to play this tie the Italian way. I wouldn't give a **** if we eliminated Barca the way Inter did. if that's the only way to stop them, so be it. we could make up for it in the next round by playing our usual, more attacking football against Chelsea.

Well I'm still not sure if I should watch the game, as things stand we don't have the capability to progress. Maybe we win the San Siro leg, but what of the one in Spain? Yeah, I just want to see the team test their wits against the best and assess what level we are at. Other than that, there is not much to take from these ties (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

No matter what happens, I'm taking this as an entertaining fixture, and nothing else. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) It's a clash of two European powerhouse, one of which I happen to be a fan of. And I'll just have a good time watching it, regardless of the results. We either get humiliated, humiliate them, it'll be a conservative fixture, or an all out attacking one.

Either way, you can find me near the screen, enjoying some good food, and not worrying about what happens!

Like we did at the Camp Nou you mean?

It was one of the most negative defensive displays I've seen, completely reliant on counter attack.

If we perform like we did in London, they will beat us silly. And with no Silva, VB, Robinho or Abate it's that bit harder.

The one good thing is Ibra and Boateng will play - our most potent attacking players. And, in Boateng, imho, one of Serie A's best players and one of Europe's most in form players.

He's become our Sneijder - in terms of the Dutchman at his peak for Inter.

Not really. The Barça fans have a lot of respect for us, and they really think we were the worst possible opponent they could get.

I heard something about Aquiliani returning from injury completely unfit (in terms of having a belly and all). It irritated the boss.

He looked ok to me

At least it does not go to his @ss like with Seedorf (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I really hope he'd use Urby for the first 60 mins over Seedorf. Seedorf just doesn't have that much juice in his legs anymore. If we could get a lead he would be the perfect sub though.

Bonera is our best option at RB. Ambro and Seedorf are the real problems, Allegri must be on something FFS (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Thiago and van Bommel are unavailable, so we have no other option but to play Ambro. Seedorf is the real problem here.

Yeah I know, the comment was mostly aimed at picking Seedorf, but Ambro comes into play as picking them together in that midfield makes the decision a million times more stupid if you ask me.

So even if Ambro is forced, putting the Seedorf icing on that cake is certainly no help to our cause

Yup. I really want to know what goes on Allegri's mind, playing Seedorf in this kind of game.

Not really. The Barça fans have a lot of respect for us, and they really think we were the worst possible opponent they could get.

Exactly. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) We are a club that oozes quality. It may or many not translate much today, but still.

QUOTE (X-Offender @ Mar 28 2012, 07:38 PM) *
Anyway, Seedorf still being favorite over Aquilani and Emanuelson.

Oh heavens to bitsy! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) If he does start and gets rundown, I probably will never be able to unsee it.
