Expected lineup: Whatever.

Would be good to see Silva back in our starting 11. He's so important for our short-term and long-term future.

Abate in place of Gattuso is a good idea too - we'll have someone in midfield who can get forward with pace.

Hopefully during the international break we've made some progress in training. It was an important break for us to try to fix a few things and get some continuity. One propblem coaches find with playing a match every 3 days (League at weekend, CL/Europa midweek) is that there's no real time to work on anything in training. For a guy like Leonardo on such a steep learning curve the international break provides precious time for him to work on things.

Yeah benching Flamini would be a stupid thing to do and I don't think Leo is going to do it. Surely he can see that how much better Flamini is than Ambrosini and Gattuso?

Anto who? The only player not to play a single minute with Milan this year(so far).

Anyway regarding Flamini, though he has been better than Ambro & Rinno, he has played like a headless chicken.

Yeah I agree that he has been out of form but still better and more useful than Gattuso and Ambrosini. And not to mention that he should be played because of the potential that he has and the higher level he can perform on.

Didn't I just say he is still better than Rino & Ambro? Still he has been crap, especially the past few games. He contributes nothing to the offense, other than keeping the ball longer than Seedorf and hasn't done much in defense either.

I don't like that one at all. Hopefully R80 and Ambrosini will sit on the bench and instead Huntelaar and Flamini will play :hopeful: If we could bench Oddo as well it would be great.
