Let's see what this one will get us (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

That's one game. If you have followed AC Milan these years (and I'm sure you have) you know Seedorf and Inzaghi have been key players for us in CL over and over again. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Against Ajax it should work IMO.

And our line-up/midfield was picked very wrong by Allegri that match, so I'm not surprised he failed that match.

Through the last few years is very vague imo. Pippo has showed up in a handful of games, CL or not, same goes for Seedorf. Imo this is the mentality that has gotten us into this mess, justifying Seedorf and Pippo playing an important CL match from the start by looking at their past performances, and not the ones from a couple of weeks ago or even a couple of months, but years ago.

With Seedorf as AM we won a Champions League. Still, that doesn't justify the fact he should be a starter. But the alternative named Ronaldinho is even worse, from my point of view, so we can't really do anything about it. At least the team will be more balanced.

The way I see it, during this signing campaign we strengthened our center defense and attack, which had major flaws. Next summer we should strengthen our side defense by signing a fullback or two, and midfield by signing a great AM and possibly another central midfielder if Ambro and/or Gattuso are leaving. Only then our team will be complete.

We all know that Seedorf playing there wasn't really that much of an important point for us, Kaka was the man that dragged us through the competition, Seedorf only had 2 decent games that year in the CL, Bayern Away and Man U Home, those are the games that he really stomped his authority on, the others were mostly Kaka driving that luckluster team on. Plus Seedorf wasn't playing the AM position like you're asking him to in that formation, he was playing alongside Kaka behing a single striker, imo that makes a lot of difference

Agree with the last part

Seedorf and Inzaghi have good CL mentality, they will be more motivated and preform usual better than in Serie A. So that's why I am more concerned about resting Zlatan vs Parma than vs Ajax. Because it's not like Ajax is THAT much better than Parma.

That's a bit of an exagerated stretch, don't you think? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

I think giving Zlatan 60 against Ajax and 60 against Parma will be enough. That is as long as we're winning, same goes for Pirlo.

Pippo has missed sitters in the CL just as much as he's missed in Serie A, and with that record pressing on his mind I'd bet he'll miss even more chances then usual. That's why I vote we put him on at the 60th, their defenders will start to get tired, and Pippo constantly running that line against them will just wear them out even more, they'll make a mistake and that's when he can pounce.

Same thing with Seedorf I want him to come on is the second half, preferably for Pirlo

Personally I want to see us starting and finishing with something like this

Zambro--Nesta--Thiago--Antonini
Boatng--Prilo--Flamini
Dinho
Ibra--Robinho

Subs:
Seedorf <-> Pirlo @ 45th min
Pippo <-> Ibra @ 60th min
Rino <-> Dinho @ 60th min

Zambro--Nesta--Thiago--Antonini
Flamini--Seedorf--Rino--Boateng
Pippo--Robinho

Every single one of our players is tired, not just Ibra and Pirlo. But they have it the hardest given their NT duties coming up, while the others have more then a week's rest coming up after the 2 games. That's why they need to be taken out early, that is as long as we're winning....
