We easily conceded two goals but there were no worries as our attack was on fire that night. what a game that was...

Ah, that was our best game of the season. By far. I was so confident with our offense, that even if Napoli had scored seven goals, I was dead sure we'd get eight. Oh, how time passes. Oh, KaPaRo, where art tho?

Nice one (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

So, afternoon training has taken place. More of the same, with ball possession and offensive phase drills.

Pippo and Cafu trained with the group. Kaka, Janku, and Il Capitano did specific work in the gym.

There's also a nice, but brief, interview with Bonera. Sounds like he's ready to play. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

[weeeow]

I wouldn't worry if this was away. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Funny...how we have among the best away records in Serie A. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
Tough call...really tough call. I hope we can win. I'd love for us to win convincingly by a 3 goal margin. I'd also love for it to rain money. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

The declarations of Bonera:

"Personally I'm doing fine, already on Sunday I was available, that's the important thing. I'm ready to eventually substitute an important player like Oddo and I have to give my contribution to the team to reach the fourth place in the table.

Unfortunately in the game against Atalanta we were unable to earn points for our objective. We played a bad first half, then fortunately in the second half we were more determined.
Away from home we've always done well because we wanted it from the first minute, while at home we often gave away the first 45 minutes of the game several times.

I think a solution could be to start strongly from the first minutes of the match and letting the opponent understand that it's us who is playing at home, trying to play close together, and trying to score early, which we haven't managed to do often so far.

Saturday we are playing against Cagliari who are doing well right now. They've managed to get many points against several teams and they're almost outside the relegation zone. Certainly they will come here to try and get points for the relegation battle and they are playing good football."

Bonera will have to be at his best for the next couple of games! (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/devil.gif)

Sweet ava and sig ACMBoY!

[Fillipo Simone]

I dunno but if we're gonna play Bonera as RB,..we should rather try Simic, Brocchi or Ba. Honestly. I wanna see Ba play!

That's the complicated part. No one player can save Milan right now. No Pirlo, no Kaka, No Pato and of course no Bonera. This is another home game and I'm not expecting anything more than a draw Cagliari(man that sentence sounds weird). Unless of course we make a shift in our mentality and play as a team to win. Like the way Ambro was trying against Atalanta. We need every single player to step up like that and sacrifce all they've got to give 4th place a real shot(this one sounds strange too... Damn you Milan).

Forza ragazzi! Wake up Milan's board of directors!

It'll be a much different game. Carlo's line is on the job so the dressing room won't be the same calm relaxed area it has always been. Besides now that kaka is back things will change.

seedorf and kaka always play well together in the treq formation. I hope we forget all this homefobia BS and just play like we its a champions league final for us. Gila should be left out of the squad permantly or better yet he should just be released. Hell i'll donate to the club in order to pay his release clause.

[han2503]

Hopefully we'll see this formation

Brocchi--Bonera--Maldini--Kala
-----Rino---Pirlo---Seedorf-----
-------------Kaka----------------
------Paloschi--Pato-------------

Nesta is suspended for this one, so we don't have anyone that can play RB other then Brocchi since Bonera will play in the center, although Carlo will probably use this defence

Bonera--Maldini--Kala--Favalli

And for the love of god I hope he doesn't, I don't want to see Favalli on the pitch any more and I would prefer for Kala to play as LB but we all know that he will play in the center (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Hopefully having Seedorf next to him will relieve Pirlo of the constant marking and the creating from deep to fall solely on his shoulders. He just needs to be helped out back there, and with the form Rino and Ambro are in, instead of helping him they've been putting more strain on him. Maybe even play Emerson instead of Rino. He had been playing well lately, so why not try to go with him?

[whoarethepatriot...]

If we fail to win this, we are almost certainly not going to qualify for the CL

Doria and the Zebra's are in stunning form, with Fio unlikely to relinquish their 4th spot (to us anyway)

I am very worried about all our home games, which we tend to loose and also i dont think the players can give any more, due to our unforgiving 2008 schedule

[Tennie]

From the 'today's training' article on acmilan.com's italian page, Kaka, Cafu, and Pippo all took part in the full training with the team.

[KillerMax]

Brocchi--Bonera--Maldini--Kala
-----Rino---Pirlo---Seedorf-----
-------------Kaka----------------
------Paloschi--Pato-------------

I like that. But Kala on the left? really? (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) It's like saying Gourcuff will start. If it was up to me, I'd start Kaka from the bench and bring him on in the second half if we're struggling. If we are to achieve an acceptable result against Juve, we need Kaka there.

[kizo]

Anyone remembers last time we scored from corner?

It's high time we did it (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
