(IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Well Gattuso, Emerson and Flamini are pretty famous for their creative passes, so!

Gattuso thinks 3 times before he makes a straight pass (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Maybe he'll borrow Pirlo's brain again. Rino has shown flashes of...really good passing in the last couple of games.

maybe he has.. but really when he rages the field like he has been (IMG:style_emoticons/default/king.gif) .. it's hard to notice his passing.

[Il Diavolo]

Well, it's still better than goal.com's suggestion with no Sheva or Pato. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

I'm not usually a murderer, but boy would I kill to see Dida make one of his special saves? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Like the impossible one he pulled off in the last match. Pity not many people noticed that. Anyway: Forza Dida!

Yes there is. Or at least there was for the Napoli game. They've stopped the radio commentary though.

Here, for what it's worth, is calciomercato's probable starting lineup:


MILAN (4-3-3): Dida; Antonini, Senderos, Kaladze, Jankulovski; Gattuso, Emerson, Flamini; Shevchenko, Inzaghi, Pato

Not too happy about that midfield but Seedorf needs a rest so I'm sood with it. I'll expect Sheva and Pato to both drop deep

Oh, my! How on earth did you misspell s with g? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) With the keys being so apart on the keyboard? That's got to be the most catastrophic English language mistake you've ever made! Joking, han! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) Joking.

On a serious note, though, yeah, the more players we can rest for the next game, the better. I want them thar 3 points, maties. And inter to draw (or lose) with Udinese (they're really in form). (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) This way we can increase our lead.

[acid911]

I'd actually have gone with this. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Provided Ronaldinho can play the full match:

-------------------Dida-------------------
- Antonini - Kaladze - Senderos - Jankulovski
------------Emerson - Gattuso -------------
------------Flamini - Ronaldinho-----------
-------------Sheva ---- Pato---------------

[jefri91]

were going to lose 0-1

[acid911]

Thank you. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sleepysmiley03.gif)

JEFRI! Nice to see you back and so endlessly optomistic. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/96.gif)

Gotta say that the projected lineup is a little...not necessarily confidence building. Hopefully one of the mids will steal Pirlo's brain and produce some creativity OR perhaps we'll find out that one of the strikers is secretly a world class trequartista.

[TriniKing_CE]

I don't think Senderos should be starting after having been on the shelf since the day we signed him.

The latest crackerjack reporting from Goal.com, from their match preview:

Senderos played in a friendly for us this season...

[aLbErTo]

i think today kalac could defend...so my proposition is

kalac

antonini - bonera - kaladze - jankulovski

emerson - seedorf - flamini

pato - ronaldinho

shevchenko

Braga coach Jorge Jesus has challenged his side to write their names into club folklore by downing the mighty AC Milan in Thursday's UEFA Cup clash at the San Siro.

Jesus is not underestimating the task facing his side in Italy, believing the Rossoneri are one of the favourites to win the competition.

However, he has not given up hope that they can cause an upset against the Serie A leaders - and for good reason.

"We have won all seven of our matches in Europe this season, scored 17 goals and not conceded,'' said Jesus.

"I would say they (Milan) are probably one of the favourites to win the tournament, and that's the enormity of our task.

"We have beaten a very good team like Portsmouth 3-0 in our opening group game.''

Braga have won their three away games in Europe this season by a 2-0 margin, something which will give coach Carlo Ancelotti something to consider going into the encounter.

Milan are overwhelming favourites to win Group E and sent a warning of their intentions with a 3-1 triumph at Heerenveen in their first group encounter.

The Italian side go into the game in buoyant mood after clinching top spot in the domestic standings for the first time in four years following their 1-0 weekend triumph over Napoli.

"Finally after four years of suffering we have made it,'' said Milan midfielder Clarence Seedorf.

"It's an enormous satisfaction.

"We are being consistent with our results, we are competitive and we are showing what a great team we are.

"We must continue to do well.''

The Rossoneri have reason to be confident having avoided defeat since their 2-0 loss at Genoa on September 14.

Andriy Shevchenko will partner Filippo Inzaghi in Milan's attacking line while the Portuguese outfit welcome back Cesar Peixoto, who missed his team's last three games through injury.

Moreover, midfielder Luis Aguiar has recovered from an ankle problem sustained in Sunday's 1-1 draw at Academica.
