Preferred Formation

Moggster · Feb 6, 2012

Man it seems like forever since we've seen our complete first team, I can't wait until everyone's back. Would like to see Allegri try 4-3-3 though.

--Shaarawy-Ibra-Pato
---Muntari-MVB-Aquilani
Mesbah-Silva-Mexés-Abate
---------Abbiati

Just looking at it makes me go

malmö · Feb 7, 2012

Abbiati

Abate - Mexes/Nesta - Silva - Mesbah

Prince - Bommel - Nocerino

Shaarawy/Cassano

Pato - Ibra

Ricardo Villa · Feb 8, 2012

Actually why not this. 4-3-1-2

Abbiati

Abate - Nesta - Mexes - Silva

Boateng - Van Bommel/Muntari - Noccerino

Cassano

Pato Ibrahimovic

Since we have no World Class LB if why not play Silva there? Then we would have all 3 World Class Defenders on the feild instead of just 2.

Blade of Faith · Feb 9, 2012

4-3-1-2 Allegri is the symbol of frustation, 4-3-1-2 is a formation that need players with IQ > 130, we have to plant a brainful MFs in the field.
We don't have much that kind of player, we're not Barca. And we're out of stock too.

Try something different 3-5-2 / 4-4-2 maybe.

GK
Nesta-Mexes-Silva
Abate-Urby-MvB-Noce/Muntari-Mesbah
ES-Ibra

or

GK
Abate-M/N-Silva-Mesbah
Zambrotta-MvB-N/M-Urby
Maxi-Ibra

Try to attack down both flanks.
And every players have to defense.

Don't care if we lose 3-0 against udine, arse, jube. We're 'lost' already.
Please Al read this post! we need plan B, this is the right time to hit the panic button. Nobody won't blame you anymore.

Dominate · Feb 9, 2012

4-3-3

Fowards line up like this

Robinho-Zlatan-El Sha

Basically everyone playing as SS ala Barcleona in 2007/8 (I think)

Ricardo Villa said:
I disagree about Boateng, have you not seen him this seaon hes been imense, hes actually added pace into our midfield...something not seen for many years, hes actually fromed into one of the best CM in Europe as for Nesta hes still amazing, yeah he may not have the pace but his timing and movement are still brilliant, only Silva, Lucio and maybe Vidic are ahead of him, he proved that especially in the games against Barca (1st leg mainly) where he was amazing.
Also Abate, I think hes a top RB although he hasnt done anything brilliant this season, hes been decent, I see no reason to want him off the team. And Robinho its tough on one hand on his day hes a World beater but when hes having an off day theres not many players worse, I wouldnt say hed be a sub at every top team, at Man Utd, Chelsea, Juventus, Inter, Arsenal id say he would be on the 1st team. Hes talented especailly if he played as well as he did last season id defo have him on the first team even when Cassano is back.

As for signing Hummels, Jovetic, Chielini, Maggio and Hamsik well we have to be more realistic, 1: replacing half the team and expecting them to jell and play well together is extreamly difficult and 2: I highly doubt that Napoli would be willing to sell 2 of the best players including the star man to another Serie A side and Juventus wouldnt sell Chelini to there main rivals.

Signings we should make are Handanovic (I agree with that), P.Lahm and M.Sissoko, they would fill the 3 gaps in our team.

is what i want.. not what i expect from milan.

we never gonna sign hamsik, jovetic, hummels and chielini all together.

FOLA · Feb 14, 2012

I see Ibra playing as No10 and always out of the box, so why bring a new AM, while Ibra can play the role?
I think We need a proper DM & CM, Sell Tiwao and bring a new LB.

Next Season Milan

------------------Abiatti-------------------

The New CM should be a player like Hamsik or Modric or Nasri

Formation for the next UCL games :

----------Abbiati----------
Abate-Mexes-Silva-Antonini
---------Nocerino------------
--------Aqua-Urby---------
---------Boateng----------
------Robinho-Ibra---------

^ slight problem, MVB is suspended for next UCL game so you're gonna have to settle with Ambro

No i would rather have Nocerino as DM. Much better than Ambrosini

With all players fit and on form I think this is the best we could field

Ibra-Robinho
Prince
Noce-MVB-Aqua
Ema-Ts-Nesta-Abate
Abbiati

Noce is more of a box to box mid. Plus he makes those runs into the box quite often, so the anchor role doesn't suit him, IMO. I really wish we had Muntari for CL. He'd be perfect in that role.

I would change that to:

Antonini - Silva - Mexes - Abate
Muntari - MVB - Aqua
Prince
Ibra - Cassano

Patri · Mar 16, 2012

Having sold Ibra and Binho, something like this for 2014-15.

-------- Balo - Pato
-------- Jovetic/ElSha
-- Sahin - CDM - Prince
LB - Silva - Mexes - Abate

Bench:
Amelia, CB, FB, Monto, Aquilani, Shaarawy, CF.

If Shaarawy develops as well as he could, we wouldn't even need Jovetic. Mind you, Balo and Jovetic are both even younger than Pato. Also, Balo would be a free agent then, I believe. If its Shaarawy, we'd just have to put out big bucks for Sahin, GK and CDM over THREE summer mercatos (total 55 million max and that too after getting some money from selling Ibra and Binho and Senatore wage savings) and a million here or there for squad players.

No no no no no. We can get a better LB than Urby, and Luiz is just :fp:

Jivara · Apr 11, 2012

I think for a game like yesterday in Verona, a Xmas tree formation would have been very useful..

dana_sulthon · Apr 12, 2012

Until now I can't understand what is the football philosophy of Allegri. As I know, except goalkeeper number of football player is 10. So for sake of balance it should be 5 defensive type player (D) and 5 offensive player (O). For Barca with offensive character it could be 4D:6O. For small club which is defensive it could be 6D:4O. But here in Milan I see it is 7D:3O, and several time become 8D:2O. What the hell...??

Frequently only 2 striker who can keep the ball. Midfielder with good ball keeping skill only Seedorf (but he is old now), Aquilani (frequently injured), and Boateng (too much night activity with his GF). Other midfielder like Nocerino or Urby only receive and pass directly (mostly to Ibra), sometimes even without dribble. So Ibra is forced to go to midfield because no midfielder can hold the ball. Then if Ibra go to midfield who will become finisher? As per other striker is second striker type.

Then someone will reply. Yes it is because we lack of striker. Wait3x....There are 6 strikers, Robinho, Maxi Lopez, Cassano, El Sharawy, Ibra, Pato (too much night activity with Barbara), and quite often that Allegri bring all of them although they only will become bench warmer. Why don't Allegri put Robinho as trequartista and Ibra will duet with El Sharawy. Then Ibra is not need to go to midfield rather than waiting on the box to finish the assist. I think it is better rather than push Urby, who naturally is a left back to become trequartista. For Urby I think it is better for him to play in his original role (LB). I believe that he will become next Serginho.

Just my 2 cent...

Because our MF is not good enough, once we have better chance creators we can commit more forward

ELMAGO99 · Apr 12, 2012

The rest of the Year:

--------Robinho/SES-----------Ibrahimovic---------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------Boateng----------------------------------
------Noce/Muntari------------------Aquilani/Nocerino---------
--------------------MvB/Ambrosini-----------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------
---Antonini---------------------------------------Abate------------
---------------TS/Mexes-----Nesta/Mexes----------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------Abbiati-------------------------------------

Don't expect anything else. Allegri is NOT a tinkerman. He like's this formation and he will use this formation until the end. Next year he may be fired, and we also may have new players (Asamoah, Tevez, Cassano Back, Hernanes, Eriksen, Jovetic, Kaka, Astori, Ogbonna).....Who knows...

Bottom line is things may change drastically next year, but for THIS YEAR, if everyone is healthy, the above lineup is the one we will use, End of Story!

Nocerino. He scored 10 goals, most of them that way.
Its not random or cause Ibra got frustrated though. Our forwards are asked to drop deep or move the wing and drag a defender, so a midfielder run into the space left. It's clearly trained.

Robinho was used as CAM many times, but it didn't work very well. He is better as second striker. I would prefer to find a replacement for Boateng, at least a player closer to his style (not easy, I know).

Goodfella · Apr 13, 2012

Maxi
Binho - SES
Urby - Aquilani
MVB
Antonini - TS - Nesta/Mexes - Abate
Abbiati

So much better than making Ibra the whole team.

God knows what place in the Serie A we would have been if Ibra was not playing for us. Ibra is as important for us as Pirlo for Jube.

Inzaghi.BE · Apr 18, 2012

Ibrahimovic
Cassano KPB?
Seedorf Gattuso/MvB/Ambrosini Ambrosini/KPB
Antonini Silva Nesta Abate
Abbiati

boateng-nocerino-bommel-robinho
ibrahimovic
pato

in a modern squeme.

problem is.. the team dont have nobody(except ibra) with a brain to put the team to play.

btw, i dont like it.

Docademo · Apr 22, 2012

PLEASEEEEE no more of that classic 4-1-2-1-2...

dana_sulthon · Apr 23, 2012

4-3-1-2
Abbiati-Abate, Nesta, Silva, Urbinho-Nocerino, MvB, Muntari-Binho-Ibra, Cassano/El Sharawy

So there will be 3 attack player (1 trequartista & 2 striker). The ball holder will be Binho, Ibra will only wait in penalty box, not necessary to go down until midfileld

Preferred Formation

Which formation ?
