MvG is injured.

So I expect Poli to get a start. I think Menez should be rested on the bench and SeS given the start. Also worried if we're not overworking De Jong. Essien should be back but that's cold comfort.

One positive is Torres getting fit and hopefully the return of Lopez. That means I won't have to worry about Abbiati's goal kicks accurately picking an opposing team player to launch an attack. Sometimes I think Abbiati is more a deep lying playmaker for the opposition than our goalkeeper. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Very curious about the formation and men Pippo will play. I don't think Lopez has recovered yet but could be wrong, and I would never bench Menez when we only have the Serie A to play. After this game he'll have a whole week to rest.

My personal picks would be, as I mentioned in the Empoli topic, either a 4-2-3-1 or 3-4-1-2.

GK
Abate - CB - CB - MDS
Poli - NdJ
Menez - Honda - SES
Torres


or

GK
CB - CB - CB
Abate - Poli - NdJ - Armero
Honda
Torres - Menez


Still undecided about the CBs (except for Boner-head)...

I don't think we'll start with the Guive formation. As said, I don't like the Menez position from your first formation.

Abbiati
Abate - CB - CB - MDS
Bonaventura - NdJ - Poli
Honda
Menez (free roaming)
Torres

The first one, definitely, I don't like a 3-man backline personally speaking, and the reason for that is because so many factors have to be right for it to work properly, a 3-man backline for us would create even more confusion and panic in an already unstable defence.

And anyway, with the first formation we could sort of switch to that by having De Jong drop back in between the 2 CBs while the FBs push up and even Poli pushes up, just like what we did in the second half vs Empoli, at certain points Poli was the one very high up and connecting the passes around the box, while Bonaventura dropped a little back and De Jong was level with the CBs.

Btw, I also really liked Jack yesterday, but atm there's so much attacking talent who are all doing so well that I really don't know how we can fit them all in, if only we had an iota of that at the centre of defence...

As long as we don't play that flat 3-man midfield, we'll survive this one.

And Bonera. Don't forget Mr. Catastrophe.

In that case I demand Zaccardo, Essien and Niang start too. If we're going to burn to death, might as well explode rather than roast.

Yep, I have a hunch about that too. And that we will play 4-3-3 again. Pretty much same as previous games.

I can see Bonera playing again (apparently he's very good friends with Pippo), but Muntari I doubt it.

Agreed on that, the fact that Pippo gave him the hook at HT speaks for itself, the Bonera issue is getting ridiculous, this guy must have some serious dirt on the higher ups. There's just no explanation as to why each coach keeps insisting on him. And with Pippo, good friends or not, he's single handedly responsible for us conceding 4 goals in the last 2 games he played in

With Bonera I think it's that coaches view him as an experienced CB, a senator and one of the last survivors of the Ancelotti golden years. However, both Allegri and Seedorf dropped him when they realized what a fucktard he is. Given time, I think Pippo wil drop him too, unless his attachment to an old friend will overweight the technical choice.

I explained to Han some time ago regarding a Rangers player called Lee McCulloch. If I say Bonera is Milan's Lee McCulloch I'll leave it to him to explain the rest (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
