Okay, usually we have much trouble against Palermo. This time both ours and their team look more or less horrible. We'll see what happens.

[acid911]

What happens? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) Eh, when an unstoppable force meets an unmovable object, that's what happens: They surrender. I smell an ugly draw - if we are lucky that is. At their place, we'll need something really special from our attackers to put Palermo to rest. Another piece of individual brilliance, which sadly seems to be in short supply.

[Fillipo Simone]

Could be a draw, but both teams are in deep crisis, mistakes will happen - and I somehow feel there will be a winner in this clash.

[acid911]

Ah, for that to happen either team will need to take initiative. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) If I could make one change in Milan, I'd start the game from the 2nd half - that's when most of our players wake up and there is a semblance of a football team. We're quarter of the way through the season, and the squad still isn't on its feet yet.

Nevertheless, sure would be good to see Pato play the full 90, or at least be there in the 2nd half when the Milan team wakes up. He's rusty, agreed, but for the first hour or so, the Milan team itself isn't sunshine either.

I hope Boateng recovers so Emanuelson can play as LM. But I suppose Allegri will play De Sciglio there. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

But I really don't get it. I mean, is Allegri blind? Emanuelson's only real edge is a fine cross. He works when he is positioned on one of the wings.

Nope, not blind, stupid. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

This looks like a 3-4-1-2 with Montolivo as a trequartista. I hope this happens then.

[Jack Sparrow]

Oh..look. Muntari is back!! Yaayyyy!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

2 DMs in that system with Monto as the only creative outlet?

I'd personally switch Bojan in for Ambro and go for the 3-4-3

Also, again with the switching around of the back 3. Why isn't he playing our best 2 defenders and 1 of Bonera or Yepes. Allegri is just so URGHHH!!!!

Ambro and De Jong in a 4-man midfield is OK. I'd really like to see Monto as trequartista.

I'm ignoring all probable line ups as I don't recall the last time one was even remotely correct.

Ambro and De Jong in a 4-man midfield is OK. I'd really like to see Monto as trequartista.

The problem is that the midfield will be completely static and we'll once again have no connection between the attack and the defence.

We'll already be crowded down the middle, and with that fomation Monto will most likely still end up dropping deep to pick the ball up and move it forward

Except for Ambrosini, all midfielders are fram from static. And because it are 2 DMs, Montolivo has the better possibility to link midfield with attack, and also Emanuelson.
