Hopefully Favalli again alongside Nesta. Abate and Antonini fullbacks.

Our play against Palermo was quite good overall but luck deserted us. Hopefully a good performance against Fiorentina with a little more going our way (players not getting in each other's way, inexplicable misses, etc).

Tough match, a draw wouldn't be a bad result.

 

The expected line-ups according to Gazzetta dello Sport:

 

What do these numbers mean??

 

We'll miss T. Silva. Don't know who to replace him with, but Leo please not KK.
I expect goals from Gilardino Huntelaar (if he plays at all) and Ronaldinho.
Let's hope we dont go there and play just for the draw.

 

Storari
Zambrota-Nesta-Fava-Antonini
Flamini-Ambro
Pirlo
Pato-Hunter-R80

 

Where is Abbiati?

 

 

considering playing for Genoa :neutral:

 

:smileani:

 

The expected formations according to today's edition of Gazzetta dello Sport:

 

something tells me, now that manu is our n1 priority, the fio is not our game.

 

Their speed will kill you.

 

I'm not sure, but has Gilardino scored against you yet? the idiot keeps saying "I'll celebrate if I score", not realizing that he's jinxing himself in the process.

 

match likely to be called off due to snow ...

gazzetta and others report

 

Oh no :moan: I've looked forward to this game for a week now.

EDIT: Good news from firenzeviola.it. If it doesn't start to snow again as it did last night then the pitch is, albeit a little hard, good to play on. :hopeful:

 

Bah I was really looking forward to this.

I hope it still goes through.

Watching Portsmouth - Pool now, after that Frankfurt - Wolfsburg, then Stutgart - Hoffenheim and the cherry on the cake will (hopefuly) be this game.

I'm a football freak

 

Yeah the latest is that a definite decision will be announced 5 o'clock later today. It seems like the game will be played, now they are trying to decide if the game will be played behind closed doors or not.

 

too bad, a postp/ would have been good for us. the schedule is tough

 

Well it'll get tougher. The game will most probably be played in January - so you'll be facing Genoa, Fiorentina, Inter and Juve in the same month.

 

Well the last game was 6 days ago and this is the last game before the Christmas break. If they can't play one game a week then they need to quit playing.

 

Perfectly right. I hope they don't postpone the match. It'll make our schedule tighter in the future

 

its not abt that. we are not in bets form, end of year, Fio are in good form, mutu is back, at home, the pitch will be bad. all in all, will be better for us if the game is pstpnd. my opinion

 

I agree. We've been off colour the last two matches, our defence is vulnerable without Silva, and Pato looks like he needs a rest. Not such a bad thing for this match to be postponed. We have no midweek matches from Jan 10 to Feb 14, so surely it won't be a big deal if this match is added into that period.

 

Oh I understand.

The press conference should be any minute now.

 

Yeah it seems like the game will be played. They are discussing whether to let people in to watch or not.

 

they'll loose the home game advantage if there is no public, but the game will not be pretty to watch

 

Well the latest is that Fiorentina wants to postpone to 1 o'clock tomorrow, but Milan says no since the Brazilians are going on vacation tomorrow.

Nice:howler:

 

Oh for ****s sake. The game is postponed 'till January. Great as if we needed more games then.

 

This is what I feared. I hope at least until then Hunter is still with us.

 

 

goog good ... luck on our side, i guess milan mngmt knew that too

 

Okay, it's vacation time for us as well.:relieved: When shall we report back?

Anyway I hope Thiago Silva is recovered by January.
