Um... Flamini will be on bench and Rino will start and probably play 90 minutes... I think it's proven that Max really likes Rino. either that or he's not brave enough to bench him...

No Flamini I'm sure.

Actually, this is one of the thing Max is right. Rino has played almost every match good or very good. Also, he's our captain, and we need one. But this match I agree; we need Flamini, especially a fresh Flamini.

Abbiati
Zambrotta - Nesta - T. Silva - Antonini
Boateng - Pirlo - Flamini
Robinho
Pato - Ibrahimovic

Yes, yes han, I know. This line-up will eventually turn into a 4-3-3 and we'll suck again. I just wish for 1. Flamini playing as a static DM; 2. Boateng covering the right flank; 3. Pato playing as a CF.

I still think this line-up could work if made function properly. Allegri has to get his sh!t together and stop this silly ideas of Gattuso going up forward and Pato playing as a winger. They kill our game.

I'd like to see Flamini but honestly (and to my surprise) G hasn't really done anything to lose his spot.

Say all you want, but I can't bare watching Gattuso play. The only thing he's capable of, besides chasing opponents like a mad dog, is playing the ball back to whoever gave it to him. Like, you pass it to me, I pass it to you, you pass it to me, I pass it to you, you pass it to me, I pass it to you... You get the idea.

agreed. he doesnt help the game flow in any way, gets in awkward positions and has a good moment or two in an entire 90 minutes.

Amelia
Oddo--Nesta--Thiago--Zambro
Flamini--Pirlo--Boateng
Dinho
Ibra--Pato

No way Amelia is getting the start.

I don't think this redux is serious. Sure, you can simplify every player that way, and the truth is Gattuso is old and shabby, but he has it still in him. He's our captain, that counts also.

But yes, if you ask me, I'd bench him for Real and teams with fast midfielders like them and play Flamini just like you said. Also, Nesta would be captain, not Pirlo. But...

I don't really see the 'very good' you speak of. Don't get me wrong I'm a big Rino fan, but compare this Rino to the Rino of just 2 short years ago and you wouldn't even think he's the same player. He's just not doing what needs to be done, that mean covering Pirlo, winning the ball and passing it quickly to Pirlo, now as ari said, he's getting into the most awkward positions for im, he's practically our most advanced mid, and that is just ridiculous, he's shooting shots that he has no business shooting, trying stupid lobs that never make it and just leaving Pirlo behind to do the dirty work. Imo Flamini should be our undisputed regular, it's such a waste to have him on the bench especially considering what our options are.

Exactly

I know, again it's what I want to see, not what I think we'll see... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Abbiati was just horrible against Juve the mistakes he made... Both goals he had a part in and Amelia whenever he's played has been nothing short of perfect, wile Abbiati seems to have 1 great game, 1 horrible game

No he doesn't have it still in him imo, I remember a Rino who wouldn't let someone get past him even if that means he lost a leg in the process, this Rino gets nutmegged on a regular basis, mediocre players can easily run past him, and yes he runs a lot but that doesn't mean anything, especially if he's not doing his job.

I like seeing Pirlo as our captain, personally I think he's always been our best choice, Rino and Ambro both have issues when it comes to getting too heated up. Pirlo is all about his quite presence. Nesta will never be our captain.

[Fillipo Simone]

I know. But, IMO Nesta would be the prefect pick.

And sure, you're right with Rino not being half the player he was. But I still rate him and I still think he can bring Milan good. But, what I don't understand is why Allegri acts like he has no alternative. Flamini should be tested. IMO he's not as good as y'all expect him to be, but he should be tested.

I watched him a lot during his time at Arsenal, so I know what he can really bring to the table, and no he hasn't really shown that at Milan, but I don't blame him for that since he's never been given a real chance. Rino imo should be a cover player not a starter.

You can say that again. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sleep.gif) There's no one better, no one a more natural choice!

[Panama Devil]

Using Flamini instead of Gattuso is a no brainer.

At least Flamini is able to give a pass!

With Gattuso we have one player less in attack.

Mourinho is coming to the San Siro to destroy AC Milan. He´s not coming down to play for a draw. He coming to his former stadium and he wants to be bigger than the building.

He will rely on his super fast counter attacks.

It´s easy to know his strategy. I just hope Allegri knows it too!!!

Personally I would like to see Milan play a 3-4-1-2 with abate and antonini running up and down the lanes prince/flamini & pirlo in the middle and dinho/robinho playing behind the 2 strikers.
But I wouldn't try that at an important game like Milan - Real Madrid.

Reports claim, that Ronnie's trained with the rest of the squad, so I think he might start instead of Binho on Wed, considering Binho's non-impressive performance against Juve.
