Thoughts: MUST WIN. Need some pre-season bragging rights

What I want:

Abbiati
Igodzio - Silva - Nesta - Zambrotta
Ambrosini - van Bommel - Boateng
Robinho
Ibra - Pato

What I think we will see:

Abbiati
Abate - Silva - Nesta - Zambrotta
Gattuso - van Bommel - Ambrosini
Boateng
Ibra - Pato

[BiasedMilanFan3]

Abate got the flu...
and slaughtered it

HE'S TRAINING WITH THE TEAM
So we'll win

[BiasedMilanFan3]

But Robinho might be out

So someones not been praying to Abate...

[Forza]

Is Mexes still injured? If not, I'd like to see him replace Taiwo (susp.), depends what form Zambro is in too.

Mexes is very much so still injured. Won't see his little pony tail on the field for at least another 6 - 8 weeks.

I just hope we don't play with 3 DM

I think our mid will be Gattuso, mvb, seedorf , robinho as tq

Galliani please buy 2 new mids

[Ganso]

robinho wont start

[IzzyC08]

Abbiati
Abate-Nesta-Silva-Antonini
Gattuso-Van Bommel-Seedorf
Boateng
Pato-Ibrahimovic

Robinho to come in and score the late goal. We win 3-1. If Robinho starts behind the fwds. then Boateng will come in and get an assist still 3-1. :king:

[Cruijf]

Abbiati
Abate-Nesta-Silva-Zambrotta (Taiwo at half)
Ambrosini-Van Bommel-Seedorf
KPB
Pato-Ibra

Score: 2-0

[Milantildeath]

Taiwo can't play he is suspended

We should play like this

--------------------------------Abbiati
--Abate--------------Nesta--------------Silva--------------Zambrotta

------------------------------Van Bommel
---------------------Prince---------------------Seedorf

---------------------------------Robinho
------------------------Pato-----------------Zlatan

[IzzyC08]

Prince is a attacking midfielder...

I know you may wish different but he and Binho are the CAM. We have enough CM's competing and we are looking to add one more so there is probably 10% chance unless injuries cause him to fill someone's role. (Or he gradually gets better with his positioning.)

Flamini, Ambrosini, Gattuso, Van Bommel, Emanuelson, Montolivo possibly..... that's a great backup at each spot and Primavera players can come in if necessary. That's how I view it at least.

[Milantildeath]

Prince did play as a CM last season as well, so the thought of him playing there is not fictional at all. It's actually a good possibility that he can play there if Robinho keeps putting magic into that TQ role.

[IzzyC08]

Not fictional, just very low chances

[fadjriemilan]

Abbiati
Abate Nesta Silva Zambrotta
Gattuso Van Bommel Seedorf
Robinho
Ibra Pato

I think Allegri will use Robinho this time, with Prince as a super sub. I wouldn't mind if Ambrosini plays as LCM though, his run to the box could be dangerous sometimes. But maybe he lacks the creativity to drive our midfield.

[Ganso]

ONE of the Brazilians will have to sit on the bench.

The game is just two days away from kicking off and Massimiliano Allegri has sorted out most of the squad, but he still has one doubt in attack as for who will start alongside Zlatan Ibrahimovic on Saturday.

It will be one of Alexandre Pato or Robinho. La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that the two are in a very good shape following their return from the Copa America but one of the Brazilians will not start the game.


The place of Kevin-Prince Boateng, who didn’t look at his top in the last days, seems to be certain behind Ibra and either of The Duck or Robinho. Pato & Binho started in the last derby together, which ended 3-0.

Ignazio Abate meanwhile got back to training after picking up flu and he will be fit for the encounter against the Nerazzurri. “I am satisfied because they are all pretty good,” Allegri told Gazzetta.it today of his players. The temperature will be high but midfielder Clarence Seedorf says it’s not a problem: “The climate is far from impossible. The real problems with heat and humidity we have had in 2003 in New York.”

[M99]

This is what I think Allegri will use

Abbiati

Mr Immune To Flus---Nesta---Thiago SIlva---Zambrotta

Van Bommel
Gattuso---Sedorf

Boateng

Pato---Ibra

[Forza]

Abbiati

Mr Immune To Flus---Nesta---Thiago SIlva---Zambrotta

Van Bommel
Gattuso---Sedorf

Boateng

Pato---Ibra

I think so too, although what I'd like to see is Boateng where Seedorf is, and Robinho where Boateng is.
