Messi and his co-stars should be grateful for having this opportunity to really test their class. Obviously we will not be totally superior to them but Milan have never been an easy team to play against even in the matches that we lost.

~Not strong enough defensive-wise.
~You want to leave Cassano, Robinho AND Pato at the bench?
~KPB is RCM, Aquilani LCM
~Kaka isn't a done deal yet? We're barely being linked to him...
~Taiwo is most likely out for this match.

So u believe Robinho should be a CAM .. and worse..u think Kingsley (as he scored against mighty Malmo) is better than Pato?.. So why dont we sell Pato then if he isnt even better than kingsley:fp:

I would be more than happy if we manage to draw both games
Precisely! Time to get real. If we come away with a draw, that will be a great accomplishment.

the only problem i see is ibra being too isolated. COnsidering we don't have KAka... really any of our forwards will slot in nicely there.


I don't get why people say it's lightweight defensively. Seedorf (when fit) is good defensively. Aquilani does his job, Prince can play everywhere. MVB is MVB. I like it

The threat of Alves can actually be slightly contain. Play Robinho on his side and he can't venture forward as much b/c of the threat of the counter. Mourinho did something like this in the Supercopa with Ronaldo.

Iniesta IMO will cause Milan the biggest trouble.

We gonna play sooo defensively and just trying to counter. Allegri will def. put a lot of experience on the field combined with some quick feet in the front for deadly counter attacks.
Playing on Campnou means a draw or a loss for us, we must be realistic in this one. However, I haven't seen Barcelona play any good game in the last couple of weeks. And they aren't unstoppable. Inter beat them 2 years ago with some fine defense. We have to play the same way. I guess there's no other choice.
Kingsley really isn't gonna start in this game lol. He's 17, unexperienced and has almost never played together before with our main attackers/midfielders. We lack information about him in serious games.
Since we probably won't get too many chances in this game, I would like to see Inzaghi play. He can score and we won't even need to create any chance for it xD. I love how he came on the pitch last year against Madrid and scored 2 goals in 10 minutes when ouw whole team was in awful condition and out attackers were invisible throughout the whole game.
Pipo, I love you man!

we must have a lot off movement in the midfield and pressure xavi and fabregas or Iniesta and don't let them have much ball. if we do that then I belive we can get a result.

wow, been reading a cataunyan barca forum

.. it seems they have huge respect for us, and they fear us.

Milan will be very difficult for us

It seems a difficult group, do not think we have to trust the Bate Borisov and Viktoria Pilsen and I would die to win in Milan.

The Milan is the best team you can play.
Milan's games will be two great match, and curiosity is that ibra will return to Camp Nou, and I hope this guy realizes that team was ...

Nor is there to fear, but always respect-Milan, which today, in the concert football is nothing

I know the midfield seems old but really they are all smart players. Boateng is not so strong defensively, he doesn't read the game like the veterans. They know how to defend and I can trust Seedorf to choose when to attack and defend. Maybe Boateng in Binho's place, although even Cassano there, wouldn't be too bad..if he's really really motivated. Hoof it to Cassano and expect a good pass to Pato ;)
I think we can soak up their pressure with Allegri really working on the defense from now till then.
This is the perfect group for us, it's a test for a developing team and manager. I'm excited for this challenge and believe we can win even at their stadium. They have weaknesses. We have a strong partnership at the back and Van Bommel and Ambrosini have valuable experience in these situations. Pato is too quick for both defenders too, we just need to give him good delivery.

Awesome draw btw two easy teams and playing Barcelona will really give us an indication on where we are at.

I really think Milan should revert back to:

---------------Abbiati---------------

---------------Nesta-----------------

--Abate----Silva-----Yepes----Zamb

----------Van Bommel--Boateng------

------------Seedorf/Aquilani-----------

----------Ibra-------------Pato-------


I know it looks unusual but:
-Van Bommel is going to struggle to hold the best midfield ever on his own.
-A sweeper would kill off their "false 9" tactics
-Yepes has already dominated Messi this year and will definitely do it again.
-When Pirlo was out we had success using TS and Sandro as ballplaying CB's, TS can take that on his own seeing that they'll probably dominate possession.
-Ambro on for MVB, Aqua or Cassano for Seedorf and Inzaghi for Pato to win the game :star:
-Even if we are weakened out wide with Taiwo out our strong centre would stop them from threatening the goals too much.
-Ibra has a huge point to prove. Ballon d'or now or never
-No-one had tried it against Barca before so why not:thumbsup:

I was thinking about the possibility of 5 at the back too. It could work. If we did it, I'd play Seedorf next to Van Bommel though and Aquilani more advanced. Seedorf is reliable defensively. I just don't think Boateng has developed enough to be that useful in a game like this. Even though he's one of my favourite players. Seedorf is better defensively than Boateng and will be able to distribute the ball quicker. Aquilani has the vision to pick out the strikers too. We'll attack with four players, defend in 6 and Seedorf +Aquilani when need be.

Also, am I crazy for celebrating getting Barca? I wanted to avoid difficult 3rd/4th seed teams and I got that. I think its perfect.

you mean as long as we dont put pippo in against them! remember that golazo he scored against them last time we met?

joking aside, i think that you are right. i dont think that they fear anyone to be honest.

on the flip side, i dont think that we need to fear them either. respect them, yes, but not so much that it hinders our play against them. gattuso does this very well. lol

Yes they do.
We have Ibrahimovic. One of the most talented footballers right now. On his day, he can be deadly. Pato is a great finisher and his pace will test them. Thiago Silva is currently the best centre back in the world. They've not come up against a strike partnership as strong as ours. Real Madrid included. Seedorf is still a genius on his day, in games like this especially. Its in our DNA to deal with situations like this.;):D


Wild 3 forwards will work with that lineup. Seedorf, Ambrosini and Van Bommel with our defense is strong defensively.

tonyb it wont work.
Our three forwards will get isolated by a semi solid midfield.
And dont get me started about the potential of Seedorf-Ambro-VanB.
They will ran out of ideas come the first 5 minutes.
This is a midfield for upholding a defensive formation so its not compatible with a three forwards formation.
