QUOTE Parma vs AC Milan Serie A 2007/08 - Week 23 Saturday, February 16, 2008 Stadio Tardini Time : 17.00 (UK); 18:00 (IT) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- QUOTE Milan hope to continue their remarkable comeback for a top four finish by taking on a Parma side in crisis. The Ducali must do without January signing Cristiano Lucarelli, who limped off with a thigh problem during their disappointing 1-1 draw at Cagliari, as well as the suspended Bernardo Corradi and Francesco Parravicini. This means Igor Budan will be looking for his first goal of the season in only his fourth appearance. Andrea Gasbarroni and Ferdinand Coly are also injury doubts for a Parma outfit without a win in six. They have dropped down to 17th place and Coach Domenico Di Carlo realises he has few chances left to keep hold of his job. Yet beating Milan is a tall order indeed, as Carlo Ancelotti’s men have won six of their last seven games and have the strongest away record in Serie A with seven victories, a draw and just three defeats. Their record at the Tardini is also good, undefeated since 2003 with a draw and three straight wins. It is always an emotional experience for Alberto Gilardino to face his former club, especially at a time when he is forced to reconsider his place in the Milan hierarchy. Alexandre Pato and Alberto Paloschi represent the new generation, while Ronaldo, Kaka and Pippo Inzaghi are still generally preferred to the misfiring Italian. Pato and Ronaldo are currently struggling with injury, though Kaka should be back in the squad after a knee problem. Some squad rotation is required due to Wednesday’s rescheduled encounter with Livorno, put back from December because of the Club World Cup commitments, not to mention the upcoming Champions League clash with Arsenal. Another former Parma star, Daniele Bonera, should get a starting berth as well. It is crunch time for Ancelotti and he’ll need all his players on top of their game. Keep an eye on: Alberto Gilardino (Milan) – The former Tardini hero returns to his old stomping ground prepared to make a point. History favours him, as this season all seven Serie A goals were scored away from home. Last season: Parma 0-2 Milan Form guide: Parma (L L D L D) Milan (L W W W W) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Parma (probable): Bucci; Coly, Falcone, Couto, Castellini; Dessena, Morrone, Cigarini, Pisanu; Reginaldo, Budan Milan (probable): Kalac; Cafu, Bonera, Kaladze, Jankulovski; Brocchi, Gourcuff, Ambrosini; Seedorf; Gilardino, Inzaghi Last game before the clash with Arsenal. The win is important, but we must rest our key players. |

We tried the resting...
Gila will play for sure. Emerson also I guess, to be paired with Ambro. Pirlo must be rested...then again we need to win this match badly (thanks to our previous draw); and Parma will never be as weak as they are now. They're one of the few teams with striking woes as bad as ours. I'd still rest Pirlo and try this... Cafu---Nesta----Bonera----Janku/Sergio -------Brocchi-------Emerson--------- ---------Kuffkuff-------------------- ------------Seedorf------------------ -----------Palo-------Inzaghi/Gila-------- I'd give Kuffkuff...what he seems to like...a free roaming..mid role...I'm starting to think he's maybe better off playing like Lampard and Gerrard..without a fixed job description. I f@ckin hate having to do this to Clarence. But I'd take him off for Pirlo sometime in the second half. And Yoann can play trequartista. Gila and Inzaghi are swappable of course. Too close to the big game to give Dida a run-in... Kaladze would be on the bench to come on for our fullback. And for the strict wellness of Pana's mental health. |

I'd go with
Kalac Cafu-Bonera-Simic/Maldini-Jankulovski Brocchi-Emerson-Gourcuff Seedorf Paloschi-Gilardino I'd give Janku, Seedorf a rest in the 2nd half, prob bring Kaka on to give him some playing time. Inzaghi for Paloschi/Gilardino too. This post has been edited by Darunia: Feb 14 2008, 07:57 AM |

I think Gourcuff is more suited to a slightly deeper role. Playing him on the left side of the 3 would be perfect.

Anybody know if we might have Kaka or Nesta back?
I knew that we would lose points on one of these last 3 games before the Arsenal tie, I just hoped that it wouldn't be in the Livorno game, if we would have gotten all 3 points in that game it would have been easier to rest players in this game and go for the draw, but if we lose this game now we'll fall behind Fiorentina again |

We should have both Kaka and Nesta available; in the 'today's training' on acmilan.com's italian page, the only players listed as doing separate work are Seedorf and Pato.
FYI Nesta is 'diffidati', meaning he's one yellow away from a suspension. |

I don't think Pato will make the Parma game, only Arsenal
Looks like Kaka might start in place of Seedorf. This post has been edited by Darunia: Feb 14 2008, 06:51 PM |
