QUOTE (pKillerMax @ Mar 1 2007, 06:56 PM) At this point, any game we play is a MUST win until the end of the season. It's just going to be so hard competing with Lazio... Those guys are doing absolutely fantastic... After that 3:0 win againts Roma, their confidence has skyrocketed... I just hope Palermo keep dropping points... Yep, We have to fight it out with Empoli, Lazio and Palermo. It will be really hard. I can already see us losing 6 points against Inter and Roma so these 'easy' (and I use that term loosely because there is no easy game for us this season) games are the most crucial

Milan - Chievo -- Football Italia previewWith so much at stake for both teams it will be a no holds barred encounter when Chievo travel to the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza to face Milan. Both sides have reached an all-important crossroads in the season that could make or break their campaigns. The home side have seen a vast improvement since the winter break and have shot up the table into contention for a Champions League place, despite their poor start and an eight-point Calciopoli deduction. However, the lacklustre performance in the 0-0 stalemate with Palermo means the Rossoneri need a win here to avoid losing momentum and derailing their challenge for a top four spot. It won’t be easy with so many players missing though. Paolo Maldini, Alessandro Costacurta, Marcos Cafu, Kakha Kaladze, Alessandro Nesta, Serginho and Filippo Inzaghi are all laid out on the treatment table and extremely doubtful for this crucial tie. With so many defenders out of action it will be crucial for the likes of Dario Simic and Daniele Bonera to step up a gear. Coach Carlo Ancelotti is also likely to switch to a 4-4-1-1 formation to provide more cover at the back, with Ronaldo taking the striker’s role supported by Kaka. Chievo are not too much better off either, as they have an injury crisis of their own to contend with. Goalkeeper Vincenzo Sicignano, midfield duo Luciano and Luis Cesar Prates plus strikers Victor Obinna and Federico Cossato are all out injured. To make matters worse full-back Fabio Moro and Albanian hitman Erjon Bogdani have both picked up suspensions. But there can be no excuses for the Gialloblu given their precarious League position. With just three points separating them from the relegation zone Coach Gigi Del Neri knows his side can’t afford to lose any more games. Their 3-0 thrashing of Torino and the 2-2 draw with Roma have started a wave of optimism at the Bentegodi, even if they let a two-goal lead slip away against the Giallorossi, and the fans will be hoping they can build up some momentum here. Man on fire: Ronaldo (Milan) – The Brazilian has been showing signs of his former self since his January move to Milan and Il Fenomeno will be refreshed and ready for action after being rested in midweek. Last season: Milan 4-1 Chievo Form guide: Milan (W W W W D) Chievo (D L D W D) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Milan (probable): Dida; Oddo, Simic, Bonera, Jankulovski; Brocchi, Gattuso, Pirlo, Seedorf; Kaka; Ronaldo
Chievo (probable): Squizzi; Malago, Mandelli, D’Anna, Lanna; Sammarco, Italiano, Brighi; Semioli, Pellissier, Cozzolino Channel4

The way Kalac has been playing...it's like comparing Ambrosini with Rino.

Call-ups for the game:
PORTIERI: Dida, Kalac, Storari.
DIFENSORI: Bonera, Favalli, Grimi, Jankulovski, Oddo, Simic.
CENTROCAMPISTI: Ambrosini, Brocchi, Gattuso, Gourcuff, Kakà , Pirlo, Seedorf.
ATTACCANTI: Gilardino, Inzaghi, Ricardo Oliveira, Ronaldo.
At least the defense isn't quite so scary looking as for the Palermo game.
