Onwards and upwards. A must win game for the 3 points. The top teams are playing each other this round, so this should be a big chance to get in the top 3

It's funny how there are people who wants Van Bommel to be rested AND act like Allegri is a complete idiot for playing Ambrosini instead. Seedorf is out injured (and that Calvano kid is too IIRC), Strasser is out loaned, Nocerino and Aquilani are no anchors. You make it impossible for Allegri this time, really.

It either has to be Ambrosini or Thiago Silva in front of the defense, since Van Bommel really should be rested.

Milan (4-3-1-2): Abbiati; Abate, T.Silva, Yepes, Antonini; Aquilani, Ambrosini, Nocerino; Boateng; Ibrahimovic, Robinho

I would play Taiwo instead of Antonini, rest I agree with. Mexes seems not ready, and Yepes is a good defender and will preform well when playing along Thiago Silva. So that means Bonera if you choose Thiago Silva as anchor, also far from ideal. With Yepes and Thiago Silva we will have a good central pairing, and Ambrosini this time will play as anchor and not as wide-central mid along Van Bommel in the same midfield. It's much better this way, and there's simply a lack for other options. Ambrosini is known to be poor his first game after returning, and especially as wide-central mid (not his best position) next to a poor Van Bommel (tired) (making midfield too slow*, simply has fail waiting for it) it's tough then. Still I have little hope for him this season, but today I see no other options than starting him. We can always make a sub during the game. (*and a huge lack of creativity)
