I knew that there was sarcasm laced in there somewhere, I'm just still p!ssed off about the whole Ivanovic saga

And I think it was both goalkeepers that were labeled as too expensive, even €15m for Boruc, who imo is a class goalkeeper, something that is really hard to find nowadays and €15m is not that much money in today's football world.

But Galliani was 'persuing' Abbiati for a long time and he's happy that we have him as our No 1 keeper, even though he was out on lone and still on our books


Yes it will be the one that his name shall not be mentioned

Yes MR KK

Voldemort?

I'm afraid Voldemort will indeed play in defense, MizNelson. Along with Bonera, who I think has been doing a rather decent job so far. As for Favallinho, I still think he did well enough (especially given that he's really a left back) as a CB against Napoli. He also trained separately for part of the week so that to me indicates it'll probably be Voldemort.

So here's my guess at a lineup:
Abbiati
Zambrotta Bonera Voldemort Jankulovski
Flamini Gattuso Seedorf
Kaka Ronaldinho
Borriello

I'd still prefer to see Borriello-Pato in front of Kaka.

Unfortunately I think neither Kaka-Ronaldinho-Pato nor Kaka-Ronaldinho-Borriello will work well and bring us victories in the long run.

Milan has to play with two strikers, specially in the league versus smaller teams. (I know saying this is becoming an ugly cliche... just like Carlo's Christmas tree).

No! Someone even more worse!

specially against small teams

I'd like to see Sheva - Borriello upfront with Kaka behind them.


I honestly prefer Favalli, at least he knows his limits...


Mr?

Well you don't expect him to call Kaladze as a Miss or Mrs, now do you, dst? Thought so.

Lord KK then

(Fishdoll suggests using the name Voldemort).

fair enough Voldemort is LORD as well

Speaking of limits, what I love most about Voldemort, is when he tries to perform a Pirloesque pass and it goes straight to the opposition. That's quality right there I tell you

Carlo mentioned that Ronaldinho should start scoring away from home too. I guess that means he will play, along with Kaka and of course, the lonely Borriello. No second striker, sorry. At least I'm optimistic about another clean sheet.

It's a honorary title... what exactly is honorable about him!?


Lordling you mean!


You mean use HER term!? This is when her taking over this board will begin... alright then let it be Voldemort.

Maybe the fact that he doesn't score an own goal every match? Something like that.

OK, it's getting confusing here... Voldemort is Senderos right?

Inter win in the last minute with an Ibra goal.

We really have to get all 3 point tonight, no matter what happens

Ha-ha! No... even if the visualization disagrees. We're talking about KK... Kinky Kipper.

Cruz

And yes. I don't want us to become the joke of the country. "they only managed to top the table for one week after four years"

Im hoping for a convincing win but as Mario Beretta is Milan fan i would settle for a 1-0 or 2 - 0 !

I may expect a win but not a convincing one. we have won 7 league games and only in 1 of them we were truly convincing [vs. Lazio]. especially away from home we've been awful this season.

I'd be happy with an ugly win...

The guys on the Italian channel were jumping around yelling Ibra... I thought he scored it/

I knew Cruz would do the business when he came on in the second half

Somethings just never change

there was like 3 inter players who jumped to head it in the goal, maybe thats why... there was 1 udi defender left to mark 3-4 inter players
i was pretty pissed i was late to go somewhere and i stayed home to watch this important match then that happens...

Well to be fair, for them, he's what Pippo is for us, only more talented

You mean Cruz is more talented than Pippo?

MILANO - Queste le formazioni ufficiali di Lecce e Milan:
LECCE: Benussi; Polenghi, Stendardo, Diamoutene, Antunes; Munari, Giacomazzi, Zanchetta, Ariatti; Cacia, Tiribocchi.
MILAN: Abbiati; Zambrotta, Bonera, Favalli, Jankulovski; Gattuso, Seedorf, Flamini; Ronaldinho, Kakà; Borriello.

Yes. Pippo's only talent is his positioning and his sense of where the ball will fall to next. But in terms of footballing ability Cruz is about a country mile ahead of Pippo

no Voldemort but same old carlo strubborn carloo 4-3-2-1

Depends on how we define talent. Pippo edges Cruz as a poacher (only that). but Cruz is a way more complete footballer than Pippo, obviously. can take powerful shots outside of the penalty area. has better technique [compared to Pippo]. has great physique. is a better header of the ball. is a tactical player. can create for others. etc.

But let's stop hero-worshiping Inter players!



... I'm sick of commenting on the Christmas tree. I can't see us win but Forza Milan anyway...

I dont like this defensive approach vs Lecce, This plan of Carlo's has backfired plenty of times against teams of Lecce's caliber

I won't deny Carlo the title of world's most stubborn ***. seriously. what doe she see in this system?? it's failed numerous times against smaller teams. those silly 6 points we lost on the first two matchdays were a result of this ugly thing. why doesn't he learn??

And his approach of 'win every game 1-0' is even worse...

the stereo typical Italian approach

Minus guys like Spalletti who have given the Italian football a better name in recent years by their sexy football!

not being biased here, and I do rate Cruz for his prowess ... But Pippo is something else, his cool nerves, his positioning .. I mean the man might not be as physical, tall, nor as creative as Cruz, but in the 18 yard box there is no comparision.

players on field let hope they deliver FORZA MILAN!!!

i fear seedorf is gonne have one of those poor day against small team

wat a noob.. gattuso wearing the captain's armband upside down

That's why in another post, I said that when it comes to Pippo's sense of positioning and in knowing where the ball is going to fall to next Pippo is unchallenged, but as zd said, as a footballer Cruz is a country mile ahead of Pippo

Boriello really close as I'm typing this

half a chnace for borriello

Stendardo yellowed really early for a challenge on Kaka

they are playing total definsive football

What a chance for Boriello there!!!!

borriello misses a easy chance

BORRIELLO. what a miss

Marco no !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so unlucky!!

His girlfriend needs to come back from that reality show!

we've been OK so far

Ronaldinho not so good so far. but that was expected...
