I really haven't made up my mind about the striker yet...Let the coach be the judge

You have dropped Pirlo? honestly I didn't expect that as I thought he played better yesterday compared to the Bologna game. but it might not be a bad idea if we tried Cardacio. he's young and motivated and this may be the difference. Carlo doesn't even give him some minutes! hopefully he tries something new and ambitious on Thursday. as for defense, Maldini really needs to pave way for young defenders (Bonera and Darmian). Bonera did good against Genoa, it'd be only fair if he started the next game as well.

I'd like to see this lineup against Zurich.

Pato - Borriello

Ronaldinho

Ambrosini - Cardacio - Flamini

Janku -- Bonera -- Kaladze -- Zambro

Abbiati

I don't have a preference between Ronaldinho and Kaka at the moment. but I think Ronnie is fitter and on a better form right now. he was just tired against Genoa (coming rather late from World Cup qualifying games), and also was being played a bit out of position. he needs to play more close to the goal.

It may look like a naive formation, but who knows? we play our seemingly best formation and we easily lose. maybe it's time to try something really new. I think those who have played less/nothing should start this one. they will have a point to prove.
