SUN, 30 MAR, 2008 - Serie A - AC Milan vs. Atalanta




KEEP ON TRYING

we have to win again!

They beat us earlier this season, time to avenge our loss. Nothing but 3 points will do.

I'd go with a similar lineup as today.

Why two Atalanta threads?

Anyway. Another must-win, but the Bergamo team cause us trouble occasionally. We have a strange history with them.

My prediction: 2:1 or 2:0 for us. Seedorf could score..

kaka should be back for this one

sorry , this is main page but i couldnt delete

I'm hoping for a 3-1 win, but 2-1 or 2-0 is acceptable ...

Scorers;Pato, Kaka or Seedorf

A 1-0 win is acceptable.

Any win will do.

Our players should be decently rested, Pirlo, Gattuso played only a half vs Spain.

yep.

Pato played around 30 mins and I also think Seedorf played only in the second half (I'm not sure)

then, Nesta, Ambro, Paolo, Oddo, didn't play at all..... so it seems that we'll be fresh.

Guys, we gotta decide which of the two threads will be "the official Milan-Atalanta" one,..

I see a 1-1

Pippo may be recovered enough for the bench for this game -- there might be a little extra motivation for him to be fit enough for a (brief) appearance in this one as his kid brother plays for Atalanta.

I'd really like to see Pirlo rested - start him on the bench and put him on if needed - for this one. The poor guy's knackered.

There is only 1 thread. I deleted the extra one two days ago.

Pato hasn't scored at home for quite a while [despite great performances]. I think he will grab one or two goals against Atalanta. especially now that he's flying high!

2-0 Pato and Kaka' Goals

Here's Gazzetta's probable formation:

Kalac
Oddo Nesta Kaladze Maldini
Gattuso Ambrosini Brocchi
Seedorf
Pato Paloschi

Frighteningly uncreative with three defensive mids, but...Pirlo really needs the rest and can come on if things fall apart.

Here's the projected bench:

Dida
Jankulovski Favalli
Pirlo Emerson Gourcuff
Gilardino

I do not like the idea of playing 3 DMs at home, it just seems so pointless. But Pato seems likely to score in every game he plays, 1-0 Milan. pato.

Gotta win, simply gotta win.

1-0. Patinho.

Atalanta plays very entertaining football from what I've seen of them this season and I am expecting them to beat us. Maybe a draw... But with that line up... Just... Yeah..

is kaka gonna make it?

I suspect not, sansiro1708. He did physical therapy today so is probably not going to play at the weekend. He may be back for the Cagliari game and will almost certainly be back for the Zebra game.

i would play this 11,

Kalac
Oddo Nesta Maldini jankulovski
Gattuso Pirlo Seedorf
Kaka
Pato Paloschi

Good, that's what I suspected too. No sense in rushing him in. It'd be better if he can rest Cagliari, and be back for the Juventus. Speaking of which, I just can't wait for that match.

me too time for some kakainho runs camronesi will be like wtf, how is he so fast.

That probably means another match with that guy who calls himself Pirlo...

He needs to be rested. But Milan Kakaless and Priloless. Can we relay on just Clarence?

^^^

That would be no...unless Gourcuff's eaten a can of Popeye spinach.

According to today's Gazza.

Our line up vs Atalanta

Kalac
Oddo Nesta Kaladze Maldini
Gattuso Pirlo Ambrossini
Seedorf
Pato Paloschi

How awesome would that be... Maldini is older than both of them combined!

Pirlo will probably play, since playing with Genaro-Ambro-Brochinho will bring us a "deserved" draw.




Kaka is out.

Hope Paloschi starts but wouldn't be surprised if Gila does. Altho Gila has the "flu"

Hrm. Well, Gila recovered from his 'flu' enough to train with the team today and score a goal in the practice match, according to the 'today's training' piece on acmilan.com's italian page. He may get the start.

Bonera has recovered from his foot injury and also trained with the group, which to me is good news.

Pippo, Cafu, and Kaka trained separately.

I wanted Paloschi to start ...

me too

Someone should food poison Gila

anyone has any idea of who's his cooker??

So, seems that they'll be there against Atalanta.

we have to win this match and i think that milan can do that

should be a good match !

is it 3pm or 8pm?

According to Gazzetta of today,newspaper edition with new looking;

our first 11 vs Atalanta

Kalac
Oddo Nesta Maldini Favalli
Gattuso Pirlo Ambrossini
Seedorf
Pato Gilardino


Batt. Gilardino %80 Paloschi %20.

By the way,Udinese is missing Zapata,then Udinese are missing other first choice CB's,Osvaldo is vice Mutu at Fio.

its gonna be hard for us.

3 pm.

What's new about it?

Nesta and Maldini! No Kaladze? Ah! That would make me so happy... but I won't believe it till I see it.

Here are the call ups:

Portieri: Dida, Kalac

Difensori: Bonera, Favalli, Kaladze, Maldini, Nesta, Oddo, Simic

Centrocampisti: Ambrosini, Brocchi, Gattuso, Gourcuff, Pirlo, Seedorf

Attaccanti: Gilardino, Paloschi, Pato

Kalac
Oddo-Nesta-Kala-Paolo
Gattuso-Pirlo-Ambro
Seedorf
Pato Gila

99% this is gona be the line-up.

Agreed but maybe Carlo will surprise us

To be honest I dont think we can finish 4th place.
Weve got a game with juve and inter. and no way we can beat them.
we can barely beat a team like atlanta and torino.

viola only have inter to worry about and thats it

i have faith! i think we are gonna beat inter in the derby and that will put roma on top

If Inter keep up their sluggish form, then we stand a chance. We sleepwalked through Torino, but it'll be far easier to get it up for the derby.

I dont want a surprising line up , i want only win

..one of the best quotes so far,..
