Finally week 2 has arrived. We play Cesena who held Roma to a draw on week 1, so it will be a tricky one

Gazzetta's probable line-ups

Milan 4-3-3

Bonera--Nesta--Thiago--Antonini
Ambro--Pirlo--Seedorf
Pato--Ibra--Dinho

Cesena 4-3-3

Ceccarelli--Von Bergen--Pellegrino--Nagatomo
Appiah--Colucci--Parolo
Schelotto--Bogdani--Giaccherini

1-3. I'm not entirely sold on us defensively, so can't see us keeping straight clean sheets.

Well in pre-season our strong point was the defence, even though we couldn't score a goal to save our life most of the time...

Also Sokratis is not Nesta but he's a major step up from what we had in the past.

Plus Cesena have some terrible strikers. They are pacy especially their wingers but not great finishers, so we might get caught on the break but we'll get a few get out of jail free cards as well (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

I like how Allegri approaches things, also he never said they would play all 4 together, just that if we're in a comfortable enough position he might give all four the chance to see what they can do, no harm in that as long as the team's shape and balance is maintained ie. Pirlo coming off for Robinho

I watched Sokratis in a national squad vs Croatia live and he was apsolutelly the best man on the field , he is super strong playing as CD, he played a great match and i think he is a good backup for nesta especially considering what we had last season as a backup (and as starters much of the time) so he is also a great signing i think, he is really really good.
