But there is no new coach so...let's move forward.
Maybe for tomorrow, but we need to think of the future, and Carlo is definately not our future.
@ dst, Pirlo has to be part of the line up. I know he's not been all that great but can you really blame him? He's so ristricted nowadays under Carlo, not to mention overplayed.
I think a new coach would really help Pirlo re-discover himself again.
For me personally, I' like to have this starting 11 for next season
Zambro--Nesta--CB*1--LB*2
Flamini--Pirlo--CM*3
Kaka
Pato--Dinho
*1: A world class center back is something we should have taken care of years ago, but it's still a position that we have not addressed despite knowing Nesta's injury problems and Paolo's retirement. Next season we need to make sure the defence is covered, we still need to get a top class CB despite having Silva in order to always be there as a starter because we all know Nesta is not reliable when it comes to injuries. So if we have both Nesta and the new CB fit, great on us, but if Nesta is out injured we'd still have a rock solid defender to rely on next to Silva. Not having to depend on a defence of Silva and Favalli/Bonera next season, because that is not good enough for the CL, no matter what Galliani says.
*2: Janku is not good enough anymore, not in defence or attack, he's really declined at an amazing rate between these last 2 season. And he's simply not a reliable LB for us any longer, he's good enough to keep as a sub but not as a starter.
*3: We need a midfielder that is pure box to box, can do the defencive work but is still good at pushing forward. Maybe we'll be smart for once and get Essien from Chelsea in exchange for Seedorf + money, because you know Carlo will want to take Seedorf with him ( (IMG:

I think the Brazilian trio can work great together, it's just that Carlo was never smart enough to actually manage to play them together. He always constricted Dinho to the left wing and Kaka in the middle and right and it wasn't working. Maybe the new coach will actually be able to make these 3 tick together. Because I'm positive that if they're used right they can in fact make magic together, but not under Carlo's rigid system
