Massimiliano Allegri will wield the axe after Tuesday's 2-0 defeat to Real Madrid in the Champions League.

Thursday 21 October, 2010
Milan set for revolution

La Gazzetta dello Sport understands Allegri feels that the attacking formation Milan have recently used is no longer sustainable, especially at the highest level.

No one is untouchable as far as Allegri is concerned, as he now seeks to line up a more balanced starting XI.

This appears to bring an end to seeing Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Alexandre Pato, Ronaldinho and Clarence Seedorf all playing together from the start.

Il Corriere della Sera believes Seedorf or Ronaldinho are at risk of spending more time on the bench because of their lack of dynamism.

Mathieu Flamini and Kevin-Prince Boateng are being readied for this weekend's clash with Napoli precisely because of their stamina and running ability.

It remains to be seen how Milan patron Silvio Berlusconi digests Allegri's plans to tone down the team in terms of attack.

Berlusconi has repeatedly expressed his belief that all of Milan's attacking players can be on the pitch at the same time.

I may be one of the few who still believe Allegri has something more than what most of you currently see. If this piece of news turns out to be true, then you may be proved wrong with you early conclusions about this guy. I believe all this while, he's been pressured to play all the stars together. However, this left the team severely handicapped as proved in Madrid. So after the beating we took in Madrid, I think he will finally create a balanced team that will compete far in both competitions. As most of us have noted, Flamini and Boateng are the ones who should be regulars; while Gattuso and Seedorf would make great subs.

I've been thinking, how can someone who's won 2 consecutive Serie A manager of the season titles (by the votes of his fellow league coaches, mind you) be so clueless about something so obvious. do we - MF members - really understand football better than the guy? that's a question we all got to ask ourselves IMO. maybe he's been taking orders from above as to how and who to play? good thing is, we'll know that as soon as October 25. after the Madrid debacle there simply is no reason why he should continue using the same players and not make any radical and permanent changes in the lineup, unless he really is clueless.

But then again, there's his substitutions which rarely make much sense. how can you be a good coach, but make useless and even disruptive substitutions? what do you think about this?
