Torino will make plans for Sergio. My guess, they'll play it like those other c@nts...who does Reginaldo play for??

Reginaldo plays for Parma. I didn't realize he'd been with Treviso for so many years prior.

Hopefully we'll show some consisatancy and win this game and take that for with us to the Shakhtar game, because that game will undoubtedly be the most important, if we get that one I think the CL group would be 80% sealed and we can focus more on Serie A

I would like to see us go for this formation in this one

Bonera--Nesta--Kala--Sergio
---Yoann--Pirlo--Emerson---
--------Kaka--Seedorf--------
-------------Gila---------------

Bonera on the right, he gave us a lot of stability at the back against Samp and when Sergio pushes up he usually moves as part of a central back 3. This give us more stability

I think Sergio can handle another game, and we really need him in this one, if he manages to constantly try to attack he will keep their winger busy trying to defend on his side ie no time trying to go forward much himself. I think Rosina will play on this side

Yoann on the right and Emrson on the left so we would have more stability since Sergio goes forward a lot I would prefer to have a defensive mid there rather then a player like Yoann who pushes forward a lot

And the rest as usual pisk themselves out.

Gila imo has to play, he was the key against Samp and he's in great form, no use benching him and going for Pippo when he isn't doing anything useful.

Hopefully we score a couple of early goals and rest Kaka, Seedorf and Pirlo, who have been playing practically every minute of every game, especially Seedorf

[Rossoneri7]

I think the defense will remain the same ... With the same midfield and ... Hell, hehe the same team that played against Samp will start again in this fixture.

Yep, that's what I see happening, but hopefully we'll see Yann start. He deserves to get his chance in the team that is not made up full of the reserves.

And games such as this will help him with experiance and more importantly to get his confidence back which has been stomped on on more then one occasion by Carlo always giving him a bench role, when he could clearly be much more of use on the pitch

[Rossoneri7]

I agree, he should start .. It is Torino we are playing .. But I trust in Carlo's choices at the same time. Hopefully, he'll let him stretch his legs and rest some players for the CL match

Hopefully, But I don't want him to rest a lot of players, maybe not even any of them except for Rino since we have a lot of players that could cover for him.

I would like us to go out there with the best 11 try to score a couple as early as we can and close up the match then take off the 3 players I previously mentioned.

But first we need to ensure we get those 3 points.

In any case I'm more at ease about the Shahktar match since they will most probably play like the did at the San Siro, especially since they are at home and would look to try to attack us. If they do we'll find it very easy to break them down

[KillerMax]

I'm pretty sure Brocchi is gonna start in Gattuso's place.

So it will look something like this:

------------------Dida--------------------
--Bonera---Nesta--Kaladze---Maldini--
------------------Pirlo---------------------
---Brocchi---------------Ambrosini------
-------------------Seedorf----------------
------------Kaka--------------------------
-----------------Gilardino-----------------

Serginho might play if he is fit. Same for Oddo. But one thing is for sure, Gourcuff won't start. Which would be a mistake. He is in a good condition he could really help us tear down Torino's defense. Kaka and Gourcuff can be deadly. Now add Seedorf to the mix too. We need to use all the weapons at our disposal. Brocchi and Ambrosini give you stability. But what good is that against teams that defend the whole 90 minutes?

i agree with the formation entirely. But im thinking maldini will play in cl and sergio on the weekend.

[MizNelson]

I doubt Maldini will play in this match, because he played on Wednesday. We'll likely save him for the CL.

He didn't play on Wednesday...

[Tennie]

Here's what Carletto said on the lineup for the Torino game (press conference on acmilan.com's italian page link):

Dopo l'allenamento di oggi stabiliremo chi potrà giocare domani....Oddo non sarà disponibile, rientra Ambrosini e questo ci permetterà di fare riposare qualcuno.

[After today's training, we'll decide who can play tomorrow. Oddo won't be available, Ambrosini will return and this will allow us to rest someone.]

[Jack Sparrow]

I'm taking bets, he'll be resting Gourcuff...(IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

[Tennie]

Here are the callups from acmilan.com:

MILANELLO - Questi i 19 giocatori convocati da Ancelotti in vista della gara di domani contro il Torino:
PORTIERI: Dida, Kalac;
DIFENSORI: Cafu, Digao, Favalli, Kaladze, Maldini, Nesta, Serginho, Simic;
CENTROCAMPISTI: Ambrosini, Brocchi, Gattuso, Gourcuff, Pirlo, Seedorf;
ATTACCANTI: Gilardino, Inzaghi, Kakà.

[Jack Sparrow]

Oh they rested Ba...thank goodness, with the amount of football he's been playing, he could have hurt himself. Same for Willy too.
