Parma-Milan Pre/post discussion

Called up Squad:
Abbiati,Amelia, Piscitelli, Antonini, Bonera, De Sciglio, Mesbah, Thiago Silva, Ambrosini, Yepes, Zambrotta, Aquilani, Carmona (n. 55), Emanuelson, Gattuso, Muntari, Nocerino, El Shaarawy, Ibrahimovic, Inzaghi, Maxi Lopez.

Good to have Gattuso back

If this game turns into a thrashing, Carmona should see some gametime

i am quite optimistic about this game. On paper we have them , but , things are never that easy , except when we play Lecce , Brescia or Sampdoria ..

Parma will try the counter attacks , if they still go with the same tactics they usually use . We must think one step ahead from now on. If we get a head up , later on Max must rest important players , no matter what.

We should play as many CL ineligible players as possible...


Don't want to sound complacent, but I think this team would get us through Parma comfortably.

Yeah I agree Forza, but I hope Milan don't go on the field so nonchalant and just finish them off early.

I would love to see gattuso at some point but only if we are winning.
I hope aquilani reclaims his starting spot in this game.
El sharaawy will probably start and i hope he steps up in this game
i'd also love to see nocerino and ibra grab their 10th and 20th goals respectively in this game

I'm expecting something along these lines:

Abbiati
Bonera---Yepes---Silva---Mesbah
Aquilani---Ambrosini---Muntari
Emanuelson
Ibra---SES

The following detail my reactions to a situation in which we are winning, they would obviously change if we had to chase the game. With the match against Juventus in mind, I'd like to see Gattuso arrive for Aquilani in the second half, even though he would be a more suitable replacement for Muntari. Ambrosini has been selected so as to keep MVB fresh for our clash with Juventus and I'd like to see Maxi come on for Ibra as early as possible, even half time if we've established a lead by then, or around the sixtieth minute otherwise. If we are winning comfortably then I'd like to see De Sciglio tested at rightback for as long as possible; if the advantage is slender and Allegri doesn't wish to experiment then I'd see how much life Zambrotta has left in his legs.

it hurts , it really does

This game will be far from a trashing, Parma at home are no push overs.
Win: 6
Lost: 2
Draw: 5

Napoli and Parma only managed to get all 3 points.

First 10 minutes don't look so bright

not surpried,we only have one starting mid available


0-1 regardless

First time in 8 yrs Berlusconi in the stands away from San Siro.

Actually it might be more than that.

Emanuelson

despite the goal,i didnt like urby's performance.missed 2 sitters and added little in terms of creativity

Yea ibra set him up perfectly but he fluffed the chance.

I agree, his finishing needs a lot of work, but you can't take away from that goal, great run.

This game reminded me just how terrible Bonera, Antonini, and Zambrotta really are. Ambrosini isn't too far off from that level as well.

Regardless, a very important win for the team and a step towards the scudetto.

I thought Zambrotta had an average game and ambro was man of the match me think, Ibra was utterly rubbish, seemed so naive but was still the difference

i voted gattuso for man of the match just cox he came on..

Hopefully Zambrotta's last season in Milan shirt. Terrible game and some rough challenges. I dont wanna say it but i wanna say it: Bonera had a good game. We were lucky today with 2 crossbars from Parma players.
I wish some of our luck today goes to Fabrice Muamba. Hold on.

bonera was absolute shet in the start,some guy made him and zambrotta look like fools at some point.but then he got better,overall a good game from boner
