So, big match ahead for Milan. Just a few reminders:
- last match we lost against Napoli was an away match in the 07/08 campaign; afterwards we managed 3 ties and 3 wins.
- Milan could finally (if something during the week does not happen) have a well covered squad (Antonini? - I'd prefer we use Janku or even Emanuelson before sending Bonera or Oddo play the LB, like Allegri usually does).
- Napoli await Villareal on Thursday for the Europa League, so they will be a bit more tired.
- Napolis true strenght is their home soil. They lost both to Lazio and Inter on away front.
Hoping the Filippo luck train rolls on in the league with a win.
Drawing would be bad, losing would put the title back in Inter's grasp imo. Agreed on the bit about Napoli's strngth being at home.
Is Antonini defeinately out? If that is the case then Urby should definately get the nod. Oddo is horrible on that side, looked completely lost yesterday.
My 11 for the game
Abate--Nesta--Thiago--Antonini?
Van Bommel
Boateng--Rino/Flams
Cassano/Robs
Pato--Ibra
Rino or Flamini? Doesn't really matter, Flamini will give us more in terms of speed and work while rino was very good against Chievo. VB is an obvious choice for me in the midfield at this point in time, same goes for Boateng, hopefully Allegri doesn;t decide to be adventurous and play Merkel in this one.
Pato imo has to play, Ibra could be dieing but I'd still play him in this one. Cassano or Robinho? Depends on what we need, Robinho provides better movement while Cassano provides better vision and support for the 2 strikers.
