Full Version: Serie A - Week 7 - Milan - Chievo
Since no one seems to want to open it I might as well do it myself. Just don't blame me if we drop points (directed at acid and the captain)
2-0 win.

In view of our recent friendly recent relations, you get a pass this time!
You won't be blamed. But then again, I don't think we'll drop points anyway. Chievo play hard, but I think Milan got this one covered. 2-1 or if we play really well, 3-1.
Seeing as Mano will be watching, I predict a Dinho show. 3-0 sounds about right 
3-1.
Think we are poor at the back so no clean sheet. Got enough up top if they show up.

3-2. Enough with predicting clean sheets, and it remains to be seen if our problems before the break have been addressed.
Oh, come on fellas, be optimistic! 
We lose 2-0. You all know why!
Enlighten us.

how abouts a pirlo, prince, rino, dinho fluid midfield with Roni in the hole, robinho in a free role to link with the mid and go forward, and pato centrally. and pippo as a 65 min sub once we lead, so he'll grab the nail in the coffin goal to put it beyond reach.

Yup. han just needs to open the thread for bad things to happen. We don't even need to wait for the match to begin.

If he really does have a hernia then I don't want him playing and making it worse before the Real game.

Ibra will play, he's fine. Abbiati has recovered, so has Ambrosini. Flamini should get a starting position over Gattuso.

I just hope Allegri doesn't use the 4-3-3.Just put pato and ibra in attack,Dinho siting behind them laying out passes and shizz.
I really think if a Pato-Ibra duo works,then it would be pretty lethal.They are very different players,but as a duo they're complete.Pato's got the pace,and Ibra's got the strength.Ibra uses Hold up while Pato plays in a more direct way,I hope allegri makes the right decision tomorrow.
Boatang connecting attack to midfeild,Flamini and Gattuso as Dm to cover the counter attacks.If we didn't score in the first half,then allegri can put pirlo,take out Gattuso.

I'm not sure if Boateng can shoulder that burden by himself.
He can don't worry
I think that we've noticed that he's a box to box midfeilder,his stamina is amazing and as I said if things aren't working put Pirlo in.It's Chievo we're talking about,it won't be very hard.

AC Milan site has confirmed today Captain Ambrosini returned to trainings with the entire group this afternoon and therefore he’s very likely to be available for selection for Chievo on Saturday.
Welcome back captain!

Squad looks ok to me lads
I'm starting to get worried about Allegri ignoring Sokratis. He only played against Cesena and hasn't been seen every since. I mean, I trust him much more than Bonera as CB.
Exactly my thought,not to get even called up is pretty bad.We bought him for about 7million and giving out a a few co-ownerships,so he wasn't exactly cheap.He is young though(22),so I think they're giving him 1-2 years to fully settle in the place of Nesta.Then our Cb duo would be Silva-Sokratis,which will be pretty solid.
I don't think Sokratis will ever be our starting CB. But he should always be the priority sub.
How many rumours/articles haven't there been we are looking for a new CB? It doesn't look like Milan feels like Nesta's replacement is in the club already. Yepes is too old, Bonera and especially Onweyu are not good enough, and Sokratis also doesn't get the trust. Milan seems to be wanting Luiz, but he's expensive so let's see what happens.
I agree with those who are unpleasantly surprised with Sokratis' treatment. Both Yepes and Sokratis not called up, right? I'm not liking that. Bonera as backup CB, not my first choice.

Poor Amelia...maybe he should pull a Nancy Kerrigan on Abi...
Ew, who mentioned "Happy Feet" earlier? That was a depressing movie. And to think they're making a sequel.
If Ibra's out, I like: 4-3-1-2, 4-3-2-1 hybrid. Pato always up top.

What would this drill be trying to accomplish? Getting players to focus on finding/shutting down space?
start with Boateng then in with Amborsini
He is not available.

According to milannews.it, Bonera might open as RB in order to rest Zambro. Antonini will paly with face mask.
http://www.milannews.it/?action=read&idnotizia=36572
I don't know why Zambro needs a rest. He didn't play in the international games.

Bonera on Rb is not good...
Playing Ibra and resting Zambro isn't really smart

I dunno, i also find it weird Zambrotta needs to rest, against Chievo I would prefer Abate over Bonera. Bonera I would have preferred against a stronger side than Chievo is. Against Chievo it should not really matter though.
Devils vs Donkeys... can only go one way can it?
