Well, the winning streak is over but we still have not lost. :stuckup:
Any thoughts on potential lineups? I was very disappointed to see Carlo chicken out and go with his "safe" tree formation. Do we see it again or do we see a forward pairing? With Pippo back we have options again.
Good point. I believe Nesta is back training. Not sure about Boriello, but he might be ready, too. I hope he can keep the form he had before hte injury. I was really impressed.
Some gave the job for the season after I insured victory over Inter. I am more than happy to do something else for the 3 minutes of time I spend creating the thread. :stuckup:
Either Inas or jani's line-ups are fine, as long as it's two strikers.
Samp can be a tricky side to beat and we'll have to play a good game to defeat them. Kaka behind Pato and Borriello is too much for any defence to handle when they're on it, and they should be the first choice trio for all Serie A matches. Would be immense if Nesta is back for this one but we must be patient with him. It's a long season.
I dont have a good feeling about this one right now, but there's still the international break to go. Sampdoria is one of those sides that have an air of uncertainty about them. When we face a big club we know Milan is one of the best sides for being 100% mentally prepared but sides like Samp are always a worry. As I said though, shouldnt be a problem winning if Ka-Pa-Bo are on it :hopeful:.
Training sessions during this international break are going to be crucial.
Thats just what I think it's going to be though, two weeks is a long time in football terms. Also I forgot Zambro is banned, hopefully we see Antonini and not Favalli.

Also nice formating skills you should start making the match threads, Dae luck has run out
True, but I was thinking that if this kid is ever going to play it might be in a tribute game for the "other" team. I agree that Flamini has been sitting more than I thought he would, but Seedorf, Gattuso and even AMbro have been playing great football. At least he is sitting behind players playing at their best.
Right. I think the competition for places is good. I'm no fan of Seedorf but I must admit his game has certainly improved compared to last season. Probably because he's more keenly aware of the competition now.
I think Seedorf has been one of our better players for years (no not perfect, but very good) but I agree that this season he seems to have stepped it up another notch. I am sure the thought of losing his place to Dinho or Flamini has made him try a bit harder.
yes Ambrosini was your best player last season, but then again how good was Milan was last season? Carlo seems to have a hard time bringing new player in the team.
If Carlo wants to win the league, he should stop playing the x-mas tree formation against smaller teams. How can he play 2 dm against the weakest team in A? This is getting frustrating...smaller teams creating more than us.
The only thing I wish we would see is this team going into the home of some pissant team and looking to blow them to f*cking pieces. This team has enough creative talent and flair to go into the likes of Genoa or Cagliari or Reggina and kick the living shit out of them.
We need to stop playing the Xmas tree against these teams because against compact, well organized defences we need to score off of rebounds, half-chances, set-pieces and mistakes. The chances of these things happening are increased when we have two people in the box and a playmaker right behind them. That'll disorganize defences and cause havoc. We seem to just sit back and rely much on our playmakers to produce that gem of an assist to our sole striker who's probably not even in the box!
Plus when we have 5 mids with Rino and Ambro we're really not asking much of them and many times Rino and Ambro look like they're missing in action. Def. mids thrive on running and stretching themselves, they get that extra motivation when the game is more of a challenge. Rino was way better against Lazio's attacking midfield than against Cagliari even though he had less to do then.
