It's really comforting to think Kaka will be there. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I have to admit, the thought of a Milan side without Kaka troubled me more than anything, even than seeing Kaka in a sky blue jersey, during those days.

As for Dinho and Seedorf, I think it's only fair if Seedorf sits on the bench and Dinho starts along Kaka, as he didn't play much against Fiorentina. so Ka-Pa-Ro in attack [with Flamini-Pirlo-Beckham in the midfield] for me.

Agreed

Antonini as RB, Zambro LB?

If this will be our line-up...I really cannot understand Ancelotti. I mean...Antonini plays the LB better, and Zambro the RB, but they are inverted for some reason. (why not try the new guy?)

Isn't Senderos match-fit? Against a Bologna I'd rather start with one fresh CB. Favalli and Maldini did an amazing job last match but...oh well, seems our regular CB pair this season will be them.

Seedorf or Dinho, I'd start with Clarence - because Dinho just like Beckham lacks still of phyisicall strenght and stamina. If things go wrong we can allways make a fast sub. But I'd pick either Becks-Ambro-Pirlo-Kaka-Clarence or Flamini-Ambro-Pirlo-Kaka-Dinho.

Flamini really dissapointed me recently. I know he plays little, but...somehow he's to neutral, a little bit of everything, but nothing sufficiently to say he's doing good.

In any way, I find it positive we're at least able to repeat line-ups and hold on one "regular" squad selection. If we stay clear of injuries till sunday, I'll be happy to see the same Viola XI minus Janku.

Agreed on the whole fullback point, Sometimes I just cannot understand Carlo, the strange things he does, and it would be ok if they worked well in favour of the team, but this whole 'strategy' of putting the right footed fullback on the left and vice-versa is just rediculous.

As for who should start, I still say Dinho, Beckham and Flamini instead of Seedorf, Ambro. Seedorf in the trequartista role really holdes us back with his lack of speed, bad passing and slow build up game. Dinho might not be a road runner but he's far better at distributing and playing on the wing cutting through the middle. It should be a choice between Seedorf and Beckham in the midfield 3 and imo, if we're going to go on starting the player that has been performing better and putting in more effort on the pitch then Beckham would win it hands down, but since we all know that that is not how Carlo picks his starting 11 then we all know who he will choose to start (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Flamini started great, he put in some really class performances at the beginning of the season but then Ambro and Rino were both available to play and Carlo dropped him immediately. This is what I hate about Carlo, the fact that he doesn't pick his teams based on performances and form but on seniority and favourites. And Ambro has been bad these past few games, bad touches, bad passes, irrational challenges. Flamini brings far more to the table, he's got a far better technique on the ball, better passing and doesn't go in on players like Ambro does.

I still have to think about a Milan side without Maldini. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) It's not really comforting, you know.


I fear it might be a case of played none, won none, you're fired. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) I hope not, but the way things are going with Flamini not getting any playing time of note, his confidence seems to have dropped down. Flamini seems to me a 'touch player', once he's good, he becomes great. You absolutely have to play guys like him, regularly (even if the last 30 minutes of every match). I recall what Gourcuff's father said that one just can't destroy careers of young and upcoming players like this - they'll end up no where. Flamini is a young gun, though a bit experienced one, with a big future ahead. If he sees his career go nowhere he'll ask for a move, while we stick with our favorite players.

If I didn't know any better, I'd half think Carlo hates French players. First Gourcuff, now Flame.

Agreed
