i can forsee this very line up being a Scudetto winning line up if Carlo dares field it. that mediaset projected lineup is an amazing line up. Even though its the christmas tree, with pirlo and seedorf next to eachother we'll keep hold of the ball instead of losing it often and winning it back often which just bogs the game down. As long as those two play next to each other whether we play with one or two strikers won't really matter as long as there is quality up front..

pirlo being back kinda gave me a new outlook on things. I hope Carlo drops a DM and not Clarence/Dinho!

Here's Mediaset's projected lineup:
Abbiati;
Zambrotta, Bonera, Kaladze, Jankulovski;
Gattuso, Pirlo, Seedorf;
Kakà, Ronaldinho;
Pato

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/cry.gif) that line up just made me shed a tear.

I would love for that one to be the one we use against Torino. I have no doubt that we would find it easier to break Toro down if we use that one.

Totally 100% agreed.

I personally don't really believe that Carlo will drop a DM for Seedorf + Pirlo, but one can't help but hope.

As for someone mentioning Sheva. I think he should be used in the UEFA Cup, especially with the games we have in the upcoming weeks.

Better to let Sheva and Pippo for that one, with maybe even Seedorf as trequartista (as long as Pirlo and Flamini and are playing in the midfield 3) and keep the squad well rested for the following Serie A game. This is the time when Carlo will really be tested. He has a massive squad under his hands, he has the freedom to put in 2 different teams on the pitch while still maintaining the quality of the first 11 and the bench, he should use them wisely. If he rotates the team well, we are capable of going into the Christmas break still in good physical condition instead of going into it with our tongues hanging out fighting to make it through the last game

yup yup yup. additionally, if this lineup were to be able to play together consistently..pato would get the space he needs to go on his tricky defense splitting runs.

This season pato needs to makes strides towards becoming a dynamic, creative goal getter so the squad can be raring to go for the kick off of the CL campaign 09/10

For what its worth i would seriously consider dropping R80..just watched some video of this weeks training and jeez he looks so slugish but no doubt he will play (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

u never no it is a away game but then he was not called up while kaka was so r80 is almost certain to play in the game

any time the word sluggish is associated with Ronaldinho it's a bit of an eye-roller. But it seems likely that the entire atmosphere at Milanello gets a bit suppressed when most of the main squad players are away on int'l duty as the competition level probably drops.

Regardless, the fact that we drew Lecce last week means that we'll be that much hungrier come this Sunday so I'm still confident in the 3 pts.

the whole squad was there this was earlier in the week and today..he just looks so slow compared to everyone else training around him..but 3 points are vital and hopefully a draw in the Derby D'Italia will put us top come sunday evening (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

todays training consisited of Jankulovski,Kaka and Rino doing sprints with short sprints followed by short recovery
they were then joined by Ambrosini,Antonin and Pirlo

tomorrow at 13.00 Mr.Ancelotti will hold a press conference with training resuming at 14.30
