Since no one seems to want to open it....

Seedorf and Gattuso are back for this one while Van Bommel is back from suspension. Thankfully that means Thiago back in defense along with Yepes

Hoping for something like this

Good work, Han. Let's get back to our combo of you posting a thread and me gracing it with a 2nd post below, and hope it works to get things back on track. And by golly we need that, there have been a draw too many this past month or two.

Another good news it that a bunch of our first XI players should be hitting full fitness in the coming day!

Yep and Gazzetta has Pirlo, Strasser and Abate back for the Parma game, while Zambro, Boateng, Nesta, Amelia and Leggrotagllie back the week after that. So we'll pratically have a full strength squad in 2 weeks time

Excellent. And I want both us and inter having full strength squads and going all guns blazing in the coming derby. That is gonna be a one "hell-on-earth" kind of a match and either team putting up weak sides will take the charm out for me. This and the 2 CL matches are the three clashes I am looking forward to the most!

Of course, fingers crossed we do get maximum points we can before the derby match. Any more draws or lost points (provided inter keep on climbing) will just add extra and unnecessary pressure. But hey, as long as guys like Pirlo, Abate, Nesta and Boateng are back. And from inter's side, I want Chivu back in the derby match too:

Ibra or Van Bommel can seriously kick him square in the nads so he doesn't reproduce! Prick of a player.

Well, I for one wouldn't mind a charmless win over them again. It's not that Inter is a team to play with in any chase.

I guess this shows 100 percent that Cassano can't play in the Champions league.


Massimiliano Allegri is a wonderful Coach and his best asset is that he says what he thinks. Milan can win everything: Scudetto and Coppa Italia. It’s a shame I can’t play in the Champions League, but we’ve got a good chance there too and Europe fears Milan.


Football-italia.com

Probable line-up: Abbiati; Oddo, Thiago Silva, Yepes, Antonini; Gattuso, Van Bommel, Merkel; Robinho; Cassano, Ibrahimovic.

We can and should win this. Genoa are not in a good moment, they've made only one win in the last seven games.

Called-up players: Abbiati, Amelia, Roma, Antonini, Bonera, Didac Vilà, Jankulovski, Oddo, Papastathopoulos, Thiago Silva, Yepes, Emanuelson, Flamini, Gattuso, Merkel, Seedorf, Van Bommel, Cassano, Ibrahimovic, Pato, Robinho.

Unavailable: Abate, Legrottaglie, Nesta, Zambrotta, Ambrosini, Boateng, Strasser, Inzaghi.

I would go with this lineup:

Abbiati
Oddo Silva Yepes Antonini
Flamini Van Bommel Emanuelson
Robinho Ibra Cassano

Lovely! I hopes that's true or then I cheered for nothing
But still I don't get why Amelia is called up? Did I miss anything?

Why shouldn't he be?

Because Gazzetta has him out until week 26 and he's one of the players called up

Never trust Gazzetta about line-ups. Always use Sportmediaset.

Official lineup

Abbiati; Oddo Thiago Silva Yepes Bonera; Gattuso Van Bommel Flamini; Robinho; Ibrahimovic Pato.

Why Bonera on the left????

allegri's feeling lucky

Aside from Gattuso, Van Bommel and Flamini crammed into that midfield (MY EYES) it's a decent line-up.

Not even going to bother justifying Bonera on the left with a comment, just a is required

Because Zambrotta and Antonini are injured. Bonera is next in the picking order.

I'd rather put a headless chicken there see what it can do then Bonera

Why did we bother getting Vila and Emanuesen??

Emanuelson we signed as someone for midfield where we have an injury crisis. So signing both Furby and Mark was a good decision. Furby is not signed to play as left-back which makes sense because he is awful as left-back. Vila, I can't say too much about him, but he may be just a long-term signing, or at least Milan finds it too soon to play him already.

Shame about Antonini. He actually did okay last few matches.

Urby was signed as a utility player, thus he was signed to cover the needed areas, especially now that most of the midfield is back from injury. And I'm 100% sure that he is a lot better then Bonera playing in that position.

game underway...

FORZA MILAN!

Robinho!!! How can he miss that FFS???!!!

Pato with a great play to set him up

Galliani said Furby is signed as midfielder. I'm 100% sure Bonera is better as left-back than Furby is. I've seen Furby as left-back many times. You also? Or you just say that because you don't like Bonera as left-back?

Our midfield is just horrible at ball distribution

PATOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

That's how you score

Pato Ibra ftw

1-1

Gosh.Who gave the assist this time?Van Bommel?

Damn i think as the commentary said we took it to easy in the last few mins , damn it guys concentrate , the linesman have been shite aswell Pato making perfect runs , but he still needs to learn to pass and so does Robinho to give assists to keep ure heads up and look for the tall swede when he is space of course Ibra !!

Pato:Great workrate this time,some of his passes have gone astray,but he had two really good ones.He missed a big chance though

Robinho:Amazing dribbling,0 on finishing.

Ibra:Still didn't enter the game.

We need to put some mid instead of Gattuso,he's just torturing me slowly,he can't be 90minutes fit...

Bonera has been ****,Vila please.

I still can't understand why Ibra was carded? He seemed to make a good tackle and get the ball! Pato has been wrongly flagged offside as well. They really need to sort the officiating out.

Bonera is the source of all things evil. I hate to say it, but I think he gets a starting spot because he dates Allegris daughter. Or maybe he dates Allegri......

Cassano for Robinho and Seedorf for Gattuso in the second half

It's all to do with the referee perceives the tackle of course he did't see Ibra got the ball from him perfectly legitimately but i guess the ref thought Ibra was pissed because that guy tackled the ball from him and the ref thinks Ibra just wants to foul him , when he actually made a good tackle and then got carded i think some of these refs need to go back to referee school and learn from Pierluigi Collina or watch some videos.....

Agreed, and to think their goal cam just after Ibra had cleanly won the ball and Genoa were given the free-kick.

After the terrible Lazio game in terms of refereeing and nw this. Me thinks Moratti wants to get his hands on first ASAP

Oddo's verticle balls are really starting to annoy the hell out of me

No, thnx. Don't like the idea of Seedorf in 3 man midfield at all. And not sure if you would want to sub Robi.

Lol why??

So robinho can miss a few more chances??

So Gattuso can get nutmegged a couple more times and try to send a couple more long balls into the stands??

Thankyou!!

Cassano for Robs

They seriously need to step it up. We cannot afford another draw

Palo coming on

Who the HELL told Gattuso that he dictates the pace of our offense???

Why?

Why?

Why?

Why the HELL he keeps telling his teammates who they need to pass the ball to by pointing out at them?

Gattuso is really getting on my nerves and I'm learning to hate his guts!!!

He doesn't know how to pass or shoot the ball and now the offense has to follow his instructions????

What the HELL IS WRONG????

LOOL

Flamini off instead of Rino

Ridiculous

At this point Genoa look the more likely team to win

oh god we are really bad today, we must win no matter what or the scudetto race will be reopened! genoa is dictating the tempo since robinho was subed but i hope 4 a magic cassano touch!

I really don't understand why Allegri brought in Urby. He doesn't add anything to our game.

We're letting it all slip through our fingers. I can see Inter at the top again in a month's time. if not sooner.
