Let's try to get off to a winning start, I predict a 2-0

It will depend on the result of the game against Lazio but I think we'll win AEK in the end!!!

2-1 for me!!

I predict a 1-0....Pippo will score for sure

it is at San Siro ... so it must be a win ...

Let it bwin then!!!!


...

Hmm, Milan will only have played Lazio right? I think a slow start, 1-1 or something like that. Must win this group though, if we dont we have SERIOUS problems.

I think it will be a big win. 3:0 Pippo 2 , Seedorf

C'mon, I bet AEK is even weaker than Red Star. 3-0 my prediction.

I never actually saw them play but they are probably better prepared since we would only have 3 competitave matches under our belts, I say 2-0 or maybe 2-1 because our defence is still very fragile with all of our central defenders who are starters are coming from injuries. And our attack is still not fine-tuned enough for them to start scoring freely.

i think it will be 3-0 pipo, kaka, oliveira

It's in San Siro? I'll go for 2-0. Pippo and Oli.

Yep, this has got 2-0 written allll over it Shame the CL games aren't included in the Prediction League

yeah 2 - 0, pippo scoring both...

1-0 will do ... kaka

2-0!

Gilardino's first goal in CL
Kaka'

I'm telling you ... if we concede against AEK I'm going to kill myself!!!!

Yep! Apparently AEK have draw their first three matches in the greek championship. It would be a real shame if we take goals from them.

no it's not that. I said so because virtually their midfield (all 4 players) can be stopped just by Rinho ...

I know Rhino is fast and can run a lot, but...are they really THAT bad?

well not really ... I mean at some occasion they might even get past him!!!!

well we shouldn't underestimate any team ... but I believe that if we play like we did against Lazio (that is .. not so good) we will be enjoying an easy - 3-0 win - CL -night!!!!

amen to that. I really hope so..

I see you've come to your senses Marco

I'm sure that milan will win with a large victory. Champion's league is magic and they'll will show at san siro who's really milan after calciopolis. I Predict 4 0....
FORZA !!!!!!!!!

Well I've been hearing that they have been creating a lot of chances but not being able to score any of them, that's why they keep getting draws.

I don't know though, this is just what I've been hearing about them from other boards.

I really hope this happens since our defence still is out of it, it's good that we don't have to face anyone with clinical finishers right now.

I would like to see someone from our attack score 5 on them in a row (I hope it could be Gila, but that is just asking way too much of him and I don't think that he will even play) and if this happens one of our players will piss all over ES's record which is something I want to see.

Right!! I like it ... people are informed ... AEK are indeed incapable of shooting on goal!!!
BUT they created those chances against PAOK (a team the players of which are not getting payed and do not have a sponsor on their jersyes yet - all because of economical problems ), OFI ( a team that barely survived relegation and signed quite a few "unpromising" players and ... Akratitos ( in English it means 'unstoppable' but they have never and will never be such especially when a hundred people is the maximum you're ever going to see in their home matches ... )
Oh yes ... AEK played in the 3rd qual. round against Hearts as well ... against which they
rarely created a chance and did not score before the Soctch were left with 10 and 9 men in the first and second tie respectively ...


... just show them what San Siro is made of!!!!

Ok this is great, maybe the five goals for one player is not much of a stretch. I think Pippo can surely do it if they are as bad as you say.

Btw what the hell kind of mess is your domestic league in?? I might have said that in my country football is really bad, but at least the players get paid. In all of the clubs!!!

btw like how you said that "unpromising"

I'm telling you ... in some other team [Iraklis (= Hercules)] they even decided to skip training sessions because they had been left unpaid for more than three months!!!!!!


that was actually a compliment!!! ...

Wow that bad?? I would have though that Greece would be more organised then that. And I thought that our league was messed up!!!

actually Greeks are really organised when it comes to rake-offs, boodles, bribes ... I guess this happens everywhere but obviously people outta here can latch on to the fact that the highest the level, the more money they can make out of things!!!

We`r gonna win that one with 3 or 4 goals I think, lets say one of them will be Gilardino`s work (wooow...that would be something!!! )...We should play it easy and with confidence, I don`t like to make a bombastic start and then loose all the good things somewhere in the middle of the season. I like it when it starts a bit rocky and calm,...

I'm sure Pippo will score again, in the CL he's the best. Even better than Henry and maybe even beter than Chelskis new striker...

hehehe,...you mean Kalou...?

I am going to bet, if Gila starts in this game he will score! You can take my word for it!

I'm pretty sure Gila and Pippo will start in the first line-up. Ancelotti said Oliveira is still out of form, so he doesn't have the 90 mins. in his feet yet.

but don't you think it's incredible for an injured guy to already impress Jose Alfatini ?...

Well, he didn't impress me cause I knew him before and I knew what he is capable of. As for Altafini, he said he also knew him before, so... But he's probably impressed because of his personality and that he scored just after 8 minutes from his entrance.

Oli out of form played better in 30 min, than Gilardino in 1 hour. Against Lazio.

exactly

I know, but I'm quoting what Ancelotti said. And I would like to give Gila a chance against a lil' team like AEK. Really, that's his golden opportunity.

yeah, Gila really need this oppurtunity to start scoring if he wants to stay in the first eleven

anyway, you guys gonna watch chelsea's game just to see ex-milan player in action?

Check out the [EU] CL thread on Football Forum.

okay

Too bad... play with Inzaghi+Gilardino you know what's gonna happen... 1 of them will disappear... until Carletto put Oli on. Just like against Lazio.

Well... maybe not.

Gila had already played 180min with Italy where he did an amazing job!!!! I did not expect him to do anything against Lazio ... Rino couldn't even make it to the game, how do you expect Gila to do his job nice??? ....

Wasn't Rino suspeneded?

But you're right, and from what I'm hearing about the match, Pirlo didn't do anything special either.

And these players have to play another game tomorrow. I think Gourcuff should have come in for Pirlo in the Lazio game. We can't afford for Pirlo to get burned out again with fatigue like last season, he is too vital.

Maybe he should be rested tomorrow, against AEK, as dst has been saying they are not good so we don't need a full strength team. And the games will get tougher as the season progresses and when that time comes we will need a Pirlo at 100%

Rino was suspended ofcourse but even in Paris he looked exhausted!!!

I think Pirlo should start so that the good start will be safely sealed ... Gourcuff could come later in the game!!!

Do not underestimate AEK ... they got nothing to lose in this game; when you got nothing to lose you play with no fear ... and that is what concerns me the most; then again the quality level is too low; we must kill the game in an instance!!!

You're right. But at least Pirlo should be rested in some not so important games. Parma don't look as strong as last season, so I would rest Pirlo then. Because when he is off-form he is still no use to us and it's better if he doesn't play because he starts to lose the ball in dangerous places

My formation fo this game would be something like this

Cafu--Nesta--Maldini--Janku (I removed the winger )
--Gattuso---Pirlo---Seedorf--
--------------Kaka-------------
-----Gila/Pippo--Oliveira-----

I think Gila shoul be given the nod for this game, this is his golden opportunity to break his duck, and if somehow that doesn't happen and we need a goal, then Pippo should be brought in.

You'd like to think this will be a formality and milan will take 3 points from this game. Hopefully we can keep the clean sheet and score at least 3 goals.

I'm hoping we see the defensive line: bonera nesta kaladze jankulovski
in the future

If oliveira is fit, I think he should start with gila. From what I've seen of oli, my first impressions were he could be a real threat in europe, due to the open space for through balls and long runs. I'm expecting to see some good exchanges between oli, kaka' and pirlo.

FORZA MILAN!

And Seedorf!
