Form Guide: Milan (D L D W - -) Pilsen(W W D W D - -)

Side notes: Not much to say - I don't think Milan played against Pilsen before.

Everyone is underestimating this match. We're not Barcelona. We usually struggle against small sides, and considering all the injuries we have, we need all the help we can get. Playing Ibra is very important. Personally, I care about this game more than the Juventus game.

It's not that I'm underestimating anything, I don't know how the others feel, but I'm with you when you say that this could be hard for us because this is just the type of opponent we struggle against.

But, I'm on the complete opposite side of it to you, I care more abou the Juve match, we absolutely have to win that. This one I don't really care that much about, we're still probably not going to win the group, we'll mess it up in one of the easy games or at the San Siro against Barca, I'm sure of it, it's our usual MO in these types of situations. So I'd sacrifice a draw in this one for the Juve game. But that's just me...

Having said that, this would be my line-up from those listed as available by Gazzetta.

Abate--Yepes--Thiago--Antonini*
Nocerino--VB--Aqui
Seedorf
Cassano--Urby

I know, Urby as a striker doesn't make much sense, but I don't see anywhere else to put him in our system, his speed and technique could be useful, all he has to do is provide support and an option for Cassano when he holding up the ball

Seedorf should be rested as well, but we're going to be too short in this, so not playing him isn't really an option, if we're winning by HT, take him off, put in one of the kids or Ibra

As for Antonini, Gazzetta are sometimes wrong when it comes to the call ups and usually leave players out for some reason on another, if Taiwo is really called up then I would like to see Seedorf on the bench, Antonini on the left f midfield and Aqui behind the strikers (I know, not the best option, but this shouldn't be too hard on Aqui considering the opponent). I'd sacrific Aqui a bit in order to rest Seedorf for Juve. So if it were up to me, we'd end up like this

Abate--Yepes--Thiago--Taiwo
Nocerino--VB--Antonini
Aqui
Cassano--Urby

It doesn't look that bad, and we've all said that Antonini should be tried out in a midfield position.

Like I said, I'd gladly lose 2 points in this to win the Juve game. But that's just me...
