So do I but I don't think he's up to it anymore !!
So Gila and Toni are dropped, but Di natale and Del Vecchio keep their place.
Gila was probably Italies best player for Italy in the match against France and he proved that by scoring a goal. And Cassano had a great game against Lithuania, I can't see why he dropped them, Where as the other 2 didn't do sh!t when they played.
The Toni and Gila partnership worked great during the WC qualifiers, I can't see why he isn't continueing to use that formula, since it's already proven. If Donadoni continues like this, I can't see him staying as the NT coach for much longer. He needs to find the right combination of players that work well together and FAST.

At least now Gila has 15 days of time to reach his peak form and get ready for the Sampdoria match.

Yes, Toni and Gila worked really great together during the WC qualifiers !! I don't understand neither why Donadoni doesn't use the same formula, it was really effective !!!
I hope they'll play together again soon !!!!!
The azzuri played well yesterday, I hope they'll do the same Wednesday ! And I hope Pippo will be able to play a bit longer next time !! Great goal by Toni !!
Too bad Gila wasn't playing with him... next time I hope !!

Yep again, the Italy attack last night was not working well imo, Del Piero was non existent, he had a few good touches in the beginning of the match, but got really tired as it went on, Iaquinta should not even be their let alone get the start.
If Donadoni wanted to play a trident attack, then he should have either called up Gila and Cassano and played
---Gila--Toni
----------------Cassano
upfront woth cassano a bit withdrawn or if he still insisted on calling up the same players then I would go for
----------Toni----------
Del Piero-----Di Michele
With Del Piero and Di Michele a bit withdrawn to help link the attack up with the midfield but not in a xmas tree formation
And yes Italy didn't conceed last night but where lucky that Buffon was having a good night, Nesta should have definately gotten the nod before Matrix, he is in great form at the moment, and Canna isn't so we need that someone that can leed the defensive line, and Nesta is the one that can do it well.
Just want to add, if we are going to try and go after any Ukrainian in the January transfer window, then Kalinichenko (is that how you spell it??) would be the one I would go after, he didn't play much last night cause he came on as a sub in the 2nd half, but man he is really talented, both his free-kicks made Buffon make a great save and he got into the game really quickly and made a graet impact, you could see what effect he had on Ukraine's midfield once he came on

He is talantad but very inconsistent. 1 good game = 3 bad games. He is not Milan class player at all IMO

Well I don't know much about him accept for his WC performances and the match against Italy, but I likes what I saw. Then again I don't follow the Ukrainian league so I have no idea about how consistant he is.
But since he would probably be bought to be a sub in our midfield, I don't think consistancy would be much of an issue

I think we can find a better player even for a sub position. Preferable a young one like Gourcuff

Gila thanks Carletto
Alberto Gilardino could not hide his joy after scoring his first ever Champions League goal against Anderlecht. “I want to thank the Coach,†stated the striker.
The world champion had been struggling for form and was suffering a worrying goal drought.
However, he was on target in the derby with Inter before netting his first Champions goal in the final minutes of Wednesday’s match against the Belgian side.
“I’ve now scored two goals in two important games. I am happy because Milan played a great game, so my goal was just another reason to be satisfied,†said Gilardino to Milan Channel.
“Recently, everyone has been talking a lot and not all of what I heard was appropriate. But this is just the way football is.
“There are moments when everything goes well and you are lucky, while there are moments when everyone criticises you and you feel a lot of pressure,†continued the 24-year-old.
“However, I have the fortune of being part of a great team that cares for me. The Coach showed his trust in me and without that it would have been difficult to give my all.
“After the goal against Anderlecht I wanted to celebrate with the fans because they have always been great.
“They support us no matter what and last night’s victory was due to them as well,†said the ex-Parma man, who moved to the San Siro in 2005.
“It isn’t true that we are only motivated in the Champions League. Without the point deduction it would have been easier in the League, but we want to win points and fill in the gap.â€

Yep, I was against him when he first joined but this season I have had faith in him for some reason even after the bad start, but he's coming good now
Maybe a bit more faith from other people in things such as Milan winning things this season, will make things come good too

Gila channels his anger
Alberto Gilardino says he used the anger and frustration of his goal drought to push him on and it could even help his campaign.
“I’d be a liar if I said I was relaxed and calm when the goals aren’t coming,†confessed the Milan striker.
“Hitting the back of the net is very important for a forward, let alone for someone who is accustomed to scoring regularly. Yet the anger and frustration I felt during this period pushed me to always do better.â€
Gilardino finally broke through the barrier that had even seen him dropped for Italy’s recent Euro 2004 qualifiers, scoring in Milan’s 4-3 derby defeat to Inter and netting his first ever Champions League goal in a 4-1 mauling of Anderlecht.
“In Italy people are too quick to judge, both positively and negatively. There isn’t the right balance, so players are put on a pedestal and knocked down almost immediately.
“A mature sportsman has to accept criticism and look ahead. It’s crucial not to let them get to you or lose sleep over it. I’ve always worked hard in this period with the confidence that it’d sort itself out eventually.â€
The former Parma man certainly isn’t the only Milan forward in the dock, as Pippo Inzaghi and Ricardo Oliveira haven’t scored in Serie A since Week 1.
This drought prompted inevitable complaints about the £30m sale of Andriy Shevchenko to Chelsea.
“It’s only normal that when the team isn’t scoring a few people looked back to someone who was no longer there,†added Gila.
“This is a forward line of great quality and we can do very well. Shevchenko’s shadow doesn’t loom over me and I don’t think it’s fair to compare us. I have been here for just two years, while he gave a great deal to this club over seven seasons. I hope it’s what I’ll be able to do and I try every day to make sure he’s not missed.â€
The Rossoneri are 14 points adrift of leaders Inter, partly thanks to the eight-point Calciopoli penalty, but the midweek victory over Anderlecht all but secured their passage to the next round of the Champions League.
“It’s not true that we put more effort into the European games. It’s not easy to go for the Scudetto looking at the table right now, so from Sunday we must take it one match at a time without paying attention to our position in the standings. We have to react against Atalanta and try to recover as much lost ground as we can.â€

I was a little surprised today when peeking at the AC Milan website during my lunch break. Announcements like the one quoted below are just...odd.
So I did a quick look-through of the various Italian dailies (sports and non) online. Apparently, the photo in question (if it exists) is of Gilardino and Barbara Berlusconi at a disco. There's talk about this photographer blackmailing VIPs to keep private and/or embarrassing photos out of the press, and there's talk of legal investigations, but that's the gist of it. (see links below) I consider the sources quoted to be generally relatively reliable.
Given recent events and the rumors surrounding Barbara Berlusconi's possible financial control of the club's purse-strings, I found the articles interesting.
