Personally I believe that a 4-4-2 requires certain types of players in order to work. And I believe we just don't have that.

Having Flamini and Boateng playing slightly behind Pirlo will give us defensive stability, as well as speed and the ability to transition the ball faster to the front 3.

As for Zlatan making assists, it's not like it's going to happen every game, especially like the second goal where it was very opportunistic. Plus I want to se Zlatan closer to goal. Not trying to play in Pato

Dinho has been playing well these past few games in the hole, he's working hard, helping out the midfield when needed and creating chances in attack by bringing in the two strikers into the game. Yes he had a bad night against Real, but so did our other attackers and there was a good reason behind that.

X-Off has Robinho playing but still where is he going to be playing? He can't play behind the strikers, he likes the wings, which against would force us into the dreaded 4-3-3, where either one of Pato or Robinho will have to be wasted on that right side, since neither are particularly comfortable playing there

You want Robinho on the field, so we'll have to play that wide 4-3-3 again, which does not work for us. Robihno can't play behind the 2 strikers either so unless Allegri moves Pirlo a lot up the pitch then that tactic won't work, and I can't see him doing that

Are you Allegri's clone or something? Why do you have to be so narrow-minded? Playing Robinho-Ibra-Pato doesn't translate in the two Brazilians playing out wide. In fact, I want Pato to be our CF from now on, and Ibra can be the tower/assist man. Take a look at the line-up I posted above. Robinho will be playing mostly on the left, but not as a winger. More like a tracked-back SS. When it comes to attacking, we can use all the strength of Robinho-Pato-Ibra-Boateng, and when defending we're still going to be covered with three capable midfielders. Just because we're playing with three forwards and three midfielders doesn't mean two will have to play wide blah blah blah. It's all about movement. As long as the team moves and interchanges positions for the whole 90 minutes, the kind of formation we're utilizing is the last thing to worry about.

It's not narrow minded. You can talk all you want but I know how we'll see that being translated on the pitch. ie a 4-3-3. Which is my main problem. You can draw a million sketches but ultimutley how we shape up on the pitch is what matters and if you're going to play with Ribinho, Ibra and Pato then I'm 100% sure that we'll be seeing a 4-3-3 on the pitch.

And imo the only way I'd like to see that happen if we play like this

Zambro--Nesta--Thaigo--Antonini
Flamini--Boateng
Pirlo
Robinho--Zlatan--Pato

I know that, han. I'm not saying that Allegri will do the same thing I'm talking about, even if he fields the same players I want to. That's why I can't stand the guy. He's just too static, not willing to make changes or bring in ideas. He has no motivation whatsoever, and plays us like some mid-table team. He's no different from Leo, really.

And that is my point exactly. But I'm more worried about what we'll see on the pitch then how I want to see us playing (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Anyway, if it is Robinho, Ibra and Pato against Napoli, I'm at least hoping to see something along the lines of what I posted, we can't afford to have that big gap between midfield and attack.

Still believe that playing Dinho in the hole is currently our best option until we bring in a real AM.

Our biggest problem against Real was that we looked like we were playing with 8 players. The ball got as far as the midfield 3 and was lost again. I'm not making excuses for anyone, because I thought that Dinho, Pato and Ibra all managed to turn it into cr@p when they did actually get a touch on the ball, Dinho with the bad passing, Pato with the bad runs and Zlatan was just invisible most games, I think I can count the number of times on one hand the ammount of times the camera focused on him.

Having said that, all of the issues we were having stemmed from the static midfield. Rino was chasing shadows, Seedorf looked like he was playing on another planet and Pirlo was left at it all alone.

I think we can all agree on that. Our biggest problem is the midfield. And hell, not because we don't have the players, but because of the choices of coach. So, in the end, it all falls on the coach. Allegri is just a bad loser.

Generally, I agree. But I think you're going to far. Milan really does not have the proper players. Both Flamini and Boateng are way overrated here IMO, and that's because we're used to watch Seedorf and Rino bleed like hell after 60 minutes of running - and from that point of few, Boateng and Flamini seem fast and fresh like a 24 year old Henry in midfield. While actually, IMO Milan misses a classic AM the most.
