Here we go for another 3 crucial points...

Please let Gourcuff play again !!

Hopefully this time in Catania, we'll get a better result than we did during the Coppa game.

Kaka is out for sure.

In today's training, Seedorf did specialized work, Kalac resumed normal training along with Offredi and Fiori, and Il Capitano trained with the group. As is usual for training the day after a game, those who played the full 90 worked in the gym.

I expect a really hard game. All of our games are must wins !!

0-1 is good enough for me (also less highlights to upload)

Carlo said that the will rotate the team, so I'm expecting something like this

Cafu--Bonera--Kala--Favalli
--Emerson--Pirlo--Brocchi--
-------------Yaonn------------
----------Pato--Gila----------

I don't think Seedorf will be ready, so Yoann in behind the strikers

nope wrong

it'll be

cafu-bonera-kala-janku
--brochhi--pirlo-emerson-sergio--
-----------pato---gila----------

I hope we get a win so we can rest players on saturday since the Arsenal game is on tuesday. I hope Gila and Gourcuff start both games, if Gourcuff can't get a start with Kaka and Seedorf injured...

I think Yoann will be given another chance on Wednesday, I don't even think Sergio is fit enough, was he even on the bench against Palermo?

I kind of expect this lineup as well although he may start with Janku and Oddo and rest them against Lazio, we'll see.

That's what I thought he would do before Carlo said he was going to rotate the players in this match.

As for Yoann, we need him in this game especially since without him our only creative outlet is Pirlo and he hasn't been so hot either these last few games.

If Seedorf is back then I'm sure he'll take his place in the starting line up behind the strikers

i think theres 99.9% chance this will be our team for the match


fiori
cafu-diago-kala-Darmian
--brochhi--Gourcuff-ba-sergio--
-----------pato---aubameyang----------

lol.. that'd be funny, Catania would win again.

I dont think Fiori , Digao , Darmian , ba , serginho & Aubameyang will play .

Sergio just might, but I'm not sure if he's match-fit. They might put the kid in attack, or at least take him down to Sicily.

For what it's worth, here's Gazzetta's probable lineup:

Kalac
Oddo
Bonera
Kaladze
Maldini
Gattuso
Pirlo
Ambrosini
Gourcuff
Gilardino
Pato

They should start Paloschi, he's done well against Catania

Gazetta's lineup makes sense. Maldini will prob play this one so he can rest for Lazio and be ready for Arsenal.

Hrm. That'd be interesting to see, Paloschi and Pato. Prolly won't happen at least this seaon, but...the 'team of old men' with two 18 year olds as the striker pairing. Makes me giggle.

You're right! it'd be really interesting to see Palo and Pato play in front. it might work perfectly!

In the 'today's training' article on acmilan.com (link), a couple of interesting notes.

Seedorf trained regularly with the group, but a whole bunch of players trained separately in the gym: Kakà, Dida, Serginho, Nesta, Pirlo and Jankulovski.

EDIT:

Here are the call ups:

PORTIERI: Fiori, Kalac, Offredi
DIFENSORI: Bonera, Cafu, Digao, Favalli, Maldini, Oddo, Simic
CENTROCAMPISTI: Ambrosini, Brocchi, Emerson, Gattuso, Gourcuff, Seedorf
ATTACCANTI: Gilardino, Inzaghi, Pato, Paloschi

I hope that Pirlo is just being rested.

Darunia, it looks like there's hope! The kid's been called up!

Looks like Carletto's been hanging around the forums lately. Somebody checked the new members? Anyone from Italy?

----------Kalac
Oddo Bonera Paolo Favalli
--Rino Emerson Seedorf
---------Gourcuff
------Pippo----Pato

Then rest Pippo, Pato, Seedorf, Rino, Paolo and Oddo against Lazio.

Pirlo had to be rested!

I hope to see Pa-Pa up front!!

Carletto's pregame press conference is up on acmilan.com (link)

Highlights include:

*Carletto thinks, but isn't positive, that Kaka should be back for the Arsenal game.
*Kaladze, Pirlo and Jankulovski are exhausted and deserve a rest.
*Nesta should be available for Saturday's game v. Lazio.
*Seedorf is availalbe and may start or may come off the bench.
*(quote) "Borriello? I honestly didn't expect it, but he's demonstrating his quality. He could play in any squad, including Milan. He's a complete striker, has an eye for goal, has technique....We're following Borriello as well as Ricardo Oliveira."

Switch Seedorf and Yoann.

I think Seedorf does better further forward and Yoann further back. He wasn't particularly effective behind the strikers on Sunday. And We've seen him have his best games when he plays in that central left area of the pitch next to Pirlo and Rino

I'm just hoping he'll get another chance tomorrow and that he can build on that assist

"Seedorf is fine, he is available, now we must see if he is ready for the bench or not." - Makes it sound like Seedorf will start from the bench but who knows.

Channel4 probable formation: Milan (probable): Kalac; Oddo, Bonera, Maldini, Favalli; Brocchi, Emerson, Ambrosini, Seedorf; Pato, Inzaghi

I expect that only Gourcuff in for Seedorf and maybe Ambro being rested.

these are the channels that will show this match
Sky Calcio 3
C+Deporte 3
S.Sport 3 Hellas
Sport Ch. 5
Mediaset Premium 2

Gourcuff should get another chance even if he did not impress against Palermo.

another 3 points COME ON MILAN !!

(from acmilan.com's italian page)

Starting lineup: Kalac; Cafu, Bonera, Maldini, Favalli; Brocchi, Emerson, Ambrosini; Seedorf; Pato, Inzaghi

C'mon ragazzi, make us proud!
FORZA MILAN

Pato to score today.

I didn't expect Maldini to play

But non the less

FORZA MILAN

Get the 3 points

With those midffield 3 and still Yoann can't get a starting spot don't know what the kid has to do to actually get the start...

Anyone got the Fox channel link for TVU plz ?

Fox isn't showing this one. They're showing Merda-Roma.

k looks like its Chinese commentary time to get my dictionary out for the word Foul and Goal

Brocchi, Emerson AND Ambro? THis is so horribly annoying..

bet365 all the way

Fox not showing it

Try this one http://www.atdhe.net/SerieA2.html good resolution, no buffering. It starts working a bit late so you'll see it with about 5 minutes delay but it's the best steam out there

what its not blocked in Pakistan , its blocked here

cheers man will it start dead on half past or

It starts about 5 - 10 minutes delayed.

Brocchi, Emerson and Ambrosini!! Yeah!!!


...

dam oh well

i think ill do it the old fashioned way and listen to it on the radio

(but dst, there's also no Kaladze!)

Let's hope Pippo + Pato do well today -- and FORZA TURTLE. We need a good performance from him.

which radio channel is broadcasting it?

i don't think i'll be able to watch it, so it would be great to listen to it on the radio

Paolo Maldini Paolo Ole!!!!!!!

May God lead us to victory!!!

Forza Rossoneri!!!!!!!!


Yes indeed, 11 players!
