QUOTE (Milan Are Brilliant @ Feb 12 2011, 01:19 AM)

The thing is since the early 90's we've never been judged that strong of a contender, not enough quality, too old, not enough depth in squad. There's always been stronger teams, yet we've found ways of winning more Champions Leagues. Remember 07? Rooney scoring in the last minute at OT (we were going out again), Van Buyten scoring in the last minute for Bayern at San Siro (we were going out again). To chuck it out of the window as a lost cause already seems odd. I'm not saying we are going to win it, but we've surely got to give ourselves the chance.
I think that's why people are talking about Tottenham and why they are bothered about it.
Yes, I agree, and I'd be with you if it was Sacchi, Capello or Ancelotti on the bench. But we've got a Cl-debutatnt as coach on our bench which for me in the end makes the difference.

Well now would be a good time for Max Allegri to stake his claim as one of the legends.

With Pirlo at the box, I was thinking we should change our playing system. We don't really have a proper trequartista, and now without a proper regista as well, playing 4-3-1-2 could be in our disfavor. I think we should return once more to 4-2-1-3. Place Flamini and Gattuso/Van Bommel as a levee in front of the defense, and then let Seedorf, Robinho, Pato and Ibrahimovic do the magic upfront. I know it probably means Pato will have to play out wide, but it's a price I'm willing to take considering our current situation. I just can't see us going anywhere in the current trend we've been playing, so maybe changing things a bit could prove useful. After all, we all blamed Leonardo's lack of flexibility last season when Pato went missing and he played Beckham, Seedorf and Huntelaar on the right. It's no different with Allegri this time.

I'm thrilled not to see Bonera playing. This might as well end up good.

Considering the other matches this weekend, we cannot afford to mess up this one. Getting these 3 points will be a huge boost if Inter and Napoli draw or lose

No Yepes? Shame. I'd put him and Nesta at the back against Spurs, and push Silva into Midfield.

That was probably the nicest pass I have seen from Gattuso - EVER
Cassano had more goals in Serie A before the age of 21 then players like Baggio and Rivera. Too bad he wasted so much time

Always end up losing the ball and inviting a counter attack

We better not do this on Tuesday

HT 2-0 up could have been more no real chance for parma in first half.
William405
Feb 12 2011, 06:48 PM
Better get Ibra out,and Pato in or Robinho.
Also,maybe Flamini instead of Gattuso.
Great half really,above expectations.FF,only if merkel scored the easy chance he had...

I don't get it, why? Both Rino and Ibra are doing very good and have an important role in our gameplay today.

We have a big match on Tuesday.. if we are still up 2-0 around the 65' mark, I'd take Ibra out and put Pato in.

We should get Ibra out before he get tired or injured.

Feb 12 2011, 06:55 PM

And,Gattuso well,Flamini ins't any step down.Also,their is a high possiblity that Gattuso will play in the champion's leauge.

Imo Ibra needs to be rested, even though he's looking crazed running around for a goal, probably won't be happy to be takn off and knowing Allegri he won't go against Ibra.
Rino is doing very well today, and considering e only have him and Flamini for the CL, he should be rptated with him, both get a half each and both will get a good amount of rest out of it.
Merkel imo is our weakest link in midfield at this point, we've been really strong in that area compared to the previous games this year. He's too hesitant, everyne is trying to play the ball quickly, he gets it, hesitates and passes it back from where he got it, the only time I saw him mildly confident was against Samp in the Coppa, which was arguably his best performance so far

Indeed.
