Here we go.

I hope to finally see likes of Viudez, Cardacio and Darmian get a proper chance. but I wouldn't be surprised one bit if they didn't... it'd be perhaps too much if all of them start.

Back To List

I'd go with

Dida
Zambrotta Senderos Kaladze Antonini
Cardacio Emerson Flamini
Kaka Seedorf
Shevchenko

or

Flamini Emerson Seedorf
Kaka Ronaldinho

but I'd like to see Cardacio in action.

I don't know about you, but I don't want to hear about putting things right and "bouncing back" in a non-league match that the team could care less about and in which we're going to play mainly second-stringers.

Play our best available team. They need as much time together as possible.

Can't Carlo field Ronnie as a supporting striker?..Kaka played there in champions league and he blossomed..I remember that at the end of last season, milan were goin to play kaka as a supporting striker..WHAT HAPPEND TO DAT?

I'm not even sure I'll watch this match. Unless a strong Milan team turns up.

Heya , guys who live in the middle east and use AL Jazeera or Art Sport to watch matches im having trouble finding the channel the Lazio is going to be on

i dont care abt this game at all

how come ?!?!

Well, the Coppa isn't exactly a high-rated competition. Sadly. I think the English people cherish the FA cup much more?

I'll come home and follow it tomorrow only because Dida is playing. Otherwise, I don't really give a patoot.

The FA Cup trumps the CI in terms of importance and prestige.

I'd like to see this line-up coming out for the Lazio match



Sheva, Kaka and Dinho I think are confirmed to start as per what Milan channel news said.

Darmian on the right since we don't really have that great CBc to start next to him so I don't want him to be under so much pressure playing as a CB next to someone like Kala or Senderos would entail. Zambro needs to sit this one out, so does Janku so Antonini for the left.

Cardacio, I think is in the mold of the more traditional DM, that plays in front of the defence, can win the ball and lay it off easily, always doing the simple things. At least that's the impression I got from the sparce moments we've seen him play.

Since Pirlo is definately out we need Seedorf to play in that midfield, If Carlo starts with the 3 DMs in the middle, expect a loss or draw.

And Dinho needs to be moved further forward, he needs to play the position of a traditional supporting forward and support Sheva who will take on the role of a box striker and will roam around in the box.

With that said, this is what I expect Carlo to put out



Maybe Kaladze instead of Favalli, you all know how Carlo can be so unpredictable with trying to surprise his opponents.

I think Senderos will play. The focus will be on getting him into whatever rhythm as possible. Especially if we're not purchasing anyone in Jan.

I can't wait for the lineup... will this 4 month wait to see Cardacio and Darmian in a competitive game finally come to an end??

well the FA cup is different it consists the non legue and everything the coppa is like carling cup IMO

carlo has the ability to dissapoint u again

Then it will be bad for Milan the club. Unless Carlo has a clause in his contract that bounds him for the next 20 years, he won't be here to see the results. Guys like Emerson, Pirlo, Seedorf, Gattuso, Ambrosini, Nesta, and a lot more will retire within a couple of years of one another.

Giving some of the youngsters an extended run will only help us in the future.

i know the youngsters we have we can make a really good team but to put to prefer emerson for flamini buying cardaccio and viduez and not using them at all seedorf over yoann ( when seedorf played so crap in serie A last year)..... I dont know what our plans are but u know extending pippo contract i respect the guy but that means we dont have faith in paloschi having said that i wonder what will happen to the likes of albertazzi, darmain but what seems is that we have wasted de gennaro in recent times and couldnt develop borrilleo

wow, so nothing having to do with the kids is right. gosh, we suck.

sorry didnt get u ??

Well, cmf, from your posts above it might be inferred that you have little faith in Milan's ability to train, nurture, and develop homegrown talent.

my little faith is bcoz in current starting team only maldini is the youth developed by milan who again was developed 25 years ago

I want to see Kalac again,i wish he can do something like his great games in last season.

I actually want Dida to play (shock!), he clearly has more ability in goal than Kalac, and a run of games in the Coppa and UEFA may give him the confidence to be what he used to be. If he still plays badly, it's not like Milan care about them competitions? (At least I don't think they do).

P.S. Nice sig!

Or maybe he get a good offer from another team

Maldini sigs are always nice

MILAN: Dida; Antonini, Senderos, Kaladze, Favalli; Flamini, Emerson, Seedorf, Kakà, Ronaldinho; Shevchenko.

Who was I kidding... Cardacio? Darmian?...

ahh here we go

It seems we want Coppa Italia

Didn't I tell you he'll play?

What if he scores now too?

Were you really expecting anything else.

i think most of us were expecting cardaccio we could have rested r80 and seedorf with kaka and cardaccion in CM but .....

great !! I was worried i wouldn't be able to watch it, but RAI UNO is showing it

i likey this lineup. COME ON SHEVA, U Fing LEGEND. SHOW YOU STILL GOT IT FFS.

guys kaladze is the captain today i think

Oh dear, this is a shocking lineup. We will be lucky to draw

is this 2 leg game ??

No, the winner goes to the next round

Yes, it is.

Really?

and draw means ET and shootouts?

Yeah, the rules were changed fairly recently. The final is a single legged affair too. I think the Semi Finals are two legged though

Correct, draw means ET and PK

Baahh...

Thank's for the information!

emerson DOESNT MOVE at all

Since Emerson is playing, i refuse to watch and will only track it on Gazzetta's MBM report

sheva misses 1 one 1

and BTW san siro is deserted

come on now..let's not be unfair. usually im agreement about emerson...but today he's been our best player on the field! he's taken control of the defense and setting the pace nicely. If we don't concede today it's thanks to emerson..kaladzity and senderos are hte rear guard..

lets not needlessly bash him..he's played well thus far. name me a pass thus far he hasnt made. he's 10/10 in his passes.

on other hand..sheva makes me sad..that was begging to be a typical sheva goal..

in the past, when sheva missed a chance like that..he'd put away an amazing half chance later to make up for it...i dono if he's got that in him anymore.

OMG. those empty stands... it's shameful.

Kaka good move. FK. now it's Dinho's turn.
