Waiting for Han's "Boateng is not an AM!!!" reply. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Boateng is not an AM!! Play Pirlo there FFS (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

And technically speaking, Nesta can play as a midfielder, but will he be any good at it? doubt it! Playing for Ghana and for Milan are 2 completely different things, and playing against a really terrible Brescia as opposed to any decent side out there is just as different, he doesn't have the touch or the vision for it. I'd rather go back to Seedorf there instead of Boateng, even if Seedorf has been playing like cr@p lately

I think Allegri prefers him because of his insertions and agility. For example, Kaka' had everything: speed, agility, technique, passing etc. Boateng has only a portion of those skills, and Seedorf has another portion. Against small teams, Boateng could prove more deadly in such perspective, because they like parking the bus and thus making insertions without the ball becomes fundamental.

I'd like to see Yepes in for Bonera

I don't know, Yepes and Nesta could be a rather slow defensive duo.

I'm curious to see if Allegri will be able to surpass Leonardo's record of 10 wins in 12 league games, which he's already equalized.

Why is this match on so early? 11:30UK time yes?

There's a midday game every Sunday in Serie A, didn't you know that?

[William405]

You're making it sound like a sin ;p


Early game is better for me now,I'll wake up study for the tests then I would have some free time for the match.

Could Boateng playing as attacking midfielder over Seedorf have to do with Pirlo returning to our midfield? When we played without Pirlo we had to play Seedorf as the attacking midfielder to have the needed playmaking in our midfield. Now Pirlo has returned in our team, you don't necessary need Seedorf anymore, because Pirlo is an even better playmaker. Without Flamini, Boateng is pretty much needed for the necessary pace and movement in the midfield. Of course it's an idea to switch Pirlo's and Boateng's positions, but I just hope to see that happening on the field, but also Pirlo switching positions with Ambrosini maybe. I hope to see Boateng moving a lot, so Pirlo can get to that attacking position sometimes.

The thing what worries me is Bonera being preferred over Yepes and Papastathopoulos.

11:30 isn't midday. 12 or 12:30 is midday.

[CHU-LIP]

11:30 isn't midday. 12 or 12:30 is midday.

In Italy it's on 12:30, so on midday according to you.

[Danny]

You're making it sound like a sin ;p

It's just odd and very early.

Admittedly I've just remembered it's a 12:30 kick off for Italy which is indeed midday.

[Dracoris]

yup. I'll be up a 630am tomorrow for this. woot!

[shevchenko_007]

It's a wonderful time to play for me, it will be on at 7:30pm... For the night games i have to wake up at 3:30 in the morning! And wake up the whole house when i'm yelling at the TV.

[pacang]

even if Silva do come back in 4 weeks (maximum optimistic level), we can't rely on the other two backup defenders for the rest of the season in case Nesta or Silva can't play. This will change our approach of next transfer window and hopefully they won't try to get FREE CB from other clubs. ONE is already enough..

Is everybody eating Sunday lunch? Match about to start
