What if we play against Barça like this:

Abbiati
Abate - Nesta - Mexes - Emanuelson
Aquilani - T. Silva - Nocerino
Boateng
Robinho - Ibrahimovic


On paper, it would be a 4-3-1-2, but in practice Abate, Thiago and Emanuelson would play on the same line, offering the adequate protection to Nesta and Mexes.

Abbiati
Nesta - Mexes
Abate - T. Silva - Emanuelson
Aquilani - Nocerino
Boateng
Robinho - Ibrahimovic


A sort of 2-3-3-2, which would allow us to crowd the midfield and give as little breathing space to Barça as possible. Luis Enrique adopts it at Roma, but the midfield he deploys is too offensive-minded and the team is left vulnerable to counterattacks. I knows it's too risky to try it in such an important game, but I'm too afraid that Ambrosini and Antonini/Zambrotta/Mesbah will choke big time against Messi and co.

That's great, and we'd still have two games to practice with it (in theory), too bad we don't have the players to play it with Nesta and Abate certainly out and Boateng still unsure.

I just posted something in the other thread about a 3 man defensive line if Nesta were to be fit. Your formation could easily switch into that state while we're defending

It always has been. I remember the fuss about this game when we used to suck their balls in San Siro and Olimpic stadium too. Just so they're 6th now, doesn't mean it's not a derby. Inter is 7nth but it's still a derby.



That's what I think too. 2 days ago I wrote a piece for my site http://acmilan-shqip.org/sq/lajme/takohemi...arcelonen-prap/

It's still not a derby, just like a Real-Barca game is not a derby. A derby is when teams from the same City play against each other

Yep, or when teams from the same region, like Catania-Palermo etc. That's what's called a derby. Milan-Roma have nothing in common to be called a derby.

Back on topic, Allegri in his press conference today said that Mexes and Seedorf are recovered for tomorrow, whilst Boateng will surely make it for Roma. Pato's return is yet unknown, and van Bommel is still unavailable for back problems. Robinho is trying to make it for Saturday, and they'll try to recover Abate for about ten days, meaning no Barcelona for him.

So many injuries. We recover two players, lose three. It's always like this. sad.gif

VB is a huge miss for tomorrow... No mention if he'll be back for Roma?

Hopefully Robs and Boateng are back for Roma so they can have a game under their belts. I read on the official site that Nesta has been training regularly with the team, so your line-up is still an option...

X-Offender
Nah, forget about it. Allegri said that he'll rest Ambro for Roma in order to have him fresh for Barça. I guess it'll be the usual 4-3-1-2, with Zambro and Antonini on the flanks. At least we'll have Mexes-Thiago as CBs and hopefully Aquilani-Nocerino-Boateng-Robinho to support Ibra.

Obviously he was never going to change formation, but it looked good on paper...

Zambro cannot start against Roma if we're going to play him against Barca though. Don't think he can handle that, Bonera should start one of the games on the right or Antonini and Mesbah can play against Roma

I just pray no further injuries occur during these days.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic was in doubt with flu symptoms, but played the first 45 minutes before making way for Maxi Lopez.

He went off due to a back problem. Maxi Lopez had a wonderful game, as on top of the goal he fought hard and can also play alongside Ibra.

Alexandre Pato will fly to America for a specialist consultation on his injury, while Milan lose Pippo Inzaghi for three weeks.

The Rossoneri continue to struggle with an injury crisis and it seems Pato’s on-going muscular problems are not clearing up.

This afternoon the club announced Pato will be flying to Atlanta, Georgia, on Monday with chief medical staff Jean Pierre Meersseman and Bruno Dominici.

“Pato will undergo medical tests and a specialist consultation with Professor Frederick Carrick at the Life University of Marietta.”

Milan also confirmed that veteran hitman Inzaghi suffered a right thigh strain during the Coppa Italia semi-final with Juventus.

“Save for complications, the prognosis is two to three weeks.”

Finally, they take positive action in Pato's case. If they hadn't I could have easily seen them declaring him fit in a week's time and him getting injured 30 minutes into a match. Hopefully competent doctors will be able to treat whatever his problem is. Who knows, we might discover that they've been mistreating his condition due to a bad diagnosis as has been the usual case with MilanLab...

Having said that, I don't think we'll be seeing him on the pitch again this season. And to think it started so well clicky

Yep, but if it means getting this resolved 100% than it will be worth it.

I think sending him out to the US means that the Club will give Pato more time. That being said, I still believe we'll be going after Tevez 100%

Pato is clearly highly regarded by Berlu (Barbara aside). While Galliani has a thing for Tevez.

If this happens I don't know what would happen with Robs, I'd want to keep him as well, you never know, and as long as Allegri can keep all 5 guys happy than we wouldn't have to worry about our attacking line for quite some time

My thoughts exactly. smile.gif And it's not like Pato draws a big enough salary to punch a hole or two in our finances. I imagine, him and Maxi Lopez are quite manageable when it comes to yearly cost. Tevez will cost a fair bit, though.

Yeah, Robs is on a much better salary than Pato.

As for next season if we do end up having all of these players, I don't know where Maxi would fit into the equation

Ibra, Pato, Cassano, Robinho and Tevez

Ah. Forgot Cassano. blush.gif Then again, I think of him as more of an attacking midfielder, what with his creative passes and attack creation. If he can fit in the system as an AM, I'll be hunky dory.

The amount of matches (per club) that the Serie A players have missed due to injuries in this season:

218 against 40. sad.gif Says it all.
Fillipo Simone
Unbelievable. How many injuries did we have this season so far? Must be a record.
acid911
Even if for the sake of argument, we go in with a conservative amount of 10 matches missed per player per injury, we've had almost 22 sad incidents in these 7 or so months. sleep.gif That's what, a player going down during every 3rd match. Absolutely appalling. It also confirms inter players facing massive injuries.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, the San Siro pitch has deteriorated beyond insanity. A total of 372 matches have been missed by players from both sides, and we still have a quarter of a season to go. sad.gif It's not just the pitch, it has to be a combination of factors, but there is something beyond fishy about the ground.

I don't buy it that it's the San Siro turf causing these issues. The San Siro turf has been cr@ppy for years. And I haven't seen these level of injuries I don't think ever in my life time. Maxi Lopez played a single game at the Juventus stadium, supposedly state of the art pitch where none of their players have gotten injured, yet he's out injured again. There is something fishy, but it's not our home turf, it's something else, whether that is the training program being used, the treatment to injuries, the diets, etc, etc.

All that I know is that Galliani and co. cannot ignore this issue, we simply cannot go into next season with even the slightest possibility of this happening again

So that's Barca home and away, Catania, Fiorentina, Chievo and Genoa (supposedly)

Like I said, let's just pray Nesta stays fit and we get VB back to cover that back line instead of having Ambro in there assisting our opposition's goals. I think I've seen Ambro do that exact same sh!t about 4 times this season, the 2 that stick to mind are against Juve and Roma
