Dont think SES92 will start, it would be a total shocker if he did. Cassano will keep his place.

Same line up as against Barca with Aqui replacing KPB.

Probably win :thumbsup:

Boa doesn't suck. But he's also not as good as some may think.

Blade of Faith · Sep 15, 2011

Boateng did very well and work hard to play outside of his natural position..
We don't have a lot of choice, at least he's ready when Alle need him.
He's showing a great attitude on the field to cover up his lack of skills.

Ramzee · Sep 15, 2011

Truth that, best about Boateng is his attitude and will. But without energy and physical strenght he doesn't have anything much to offer.

That's what I really meant, without that he's useless.

gucciluc · Sep 15, 2011

He should not be playing behind the strikers at all, AT ALL. SES92 is a much better choice

Lavezzi set for ankle tests
Napoli’s Ezequiel Lavezzi will undergo tests on Thursday in an effort to ascertain how serious his injury is.

The Argentine picked up a problem in the second half of the Manchester City tie which forced him to be replaced by Blerim Dzemaili in the 57th minute.

“I have to wait for the doctor to tell me what the situation is,” he noted. “My ankle is very painful, but I hope it’s nothing too serious.”

The South American is hoping to be fit for the big Serie A game of the weekend as the Azzurri host champions Milan.

Napoli underlined their strength on Wednesday when impressing in their Champions League debut by drawing 1-1 at City.

“We could’ve scored when I hit the crossbar, but these things happen,” added the forward. “We had a good performance and took the right approach.

“City are a strong team, but we showed character, treated the game with the right level of respect and managed to cause Manchester a lot of problems.”

I hope we plays like this:

-- Nocerino -- MVB -- Seedorf --
------------ Aquilani ------------

Vecchio Ultra · Sep 15, 2011

Every point won at the San Paolo is a golden one, so a draw and I'm already happy

I think Emanueslon will play on sunday, and I understand that alot of people are beginning to get frustrated from boateng but this is because Allegri keeps on depolying him as AM and he doesn't fit that role. He has great qualities are RM or LM

Raghav · Sep 15, 2011

I don't know if Seedof will be fit enough to start again after the full 90 vs barca.

Noce/Rino--Bommel--Emman/Dorf

-----------Aqua/Boa------------

I'd like to see nocerino,bommel,emmanuelson,aqua but allegri will go gattuso,bommel,aqua,boa i feel.

True, maby rest Clarence from start!

Raghav · Sep 15, 2011

It's crucial to have emmanuelson on the left of the 3 man midfield to help our left back out with Maggio + Hamsik doubling up.

+ He's quick so he can help when they counter at their lightning quick pace.

+ He will help stretch their backline by giving us proper width on the left which neither aqua or dorf will give.

DugiNesta · Sep 15, 2011

I really hope Taiwo will be back. We need him to handle Hamsik + Maggio.

Shevagool · Sep 15, 2011

Miss those days

Serno91 · Sep 15, 2011

Tough match. With the right players and structure, we will hopely win. Grande Milan :star:

this.

He is an average midfielder that some have elevated to elite status for some reason. Including the owner and GM of the club. Hence them not thinking they actually needed a real attack option in MF this summer.

agsgualdino · Sep 15, 2011

it will be the same team against barca! with the inclusion of aqua in the whole. instead i would much rather see aqua in the midfield 3 and elsha in the whole but doubt it. would love to see elsha play at least 10-15 also taiwo should start imo.

Exactly.

Rino needs to teach him the tactical side of playing on the right of the midfield 3 and then he should take over that spot slowly.

agsgualdino · Sep 15, 2011

boa is a good footballer but is really dumb at times. AM is not his position and every time he plays there his head gets even bigger becuz he thinks he is a number 10. midfield 3 or nothing!

I'd try Aquilani as number 10, his passing is way better than Boateng's.

Gatorbasu · Sep 15, 2011

Well Boateng doesn't have the skill set to hold on to the ball like we used to have midfielders in COSTA or KAKA or PIRLO.

The only person having that skill set in our team is SEEDORF.

So, for big matches in CL we need SEEDORF to play that role but for Serie A it is okay for Boa to play in that role.

Boa has great pace and that is more important for smaller games in Serie A than bigger games in CL.

Just one thing to watch about is his mentality. Sometimes he may get out of hand with his ego.

Rustamka_Ambro · Sep 15, 2011

Suddenly Boa is a crap.. LOL.. Pathetic... Barca makes look crap everyone they play at the moment.. Chill out boys.

acm55 · Sep 15, 2011

Nocerino-Van Bommel-Aquilani. :rolleyes:

Curupira · Sep 15, 2011

still think Boa is better fit for CM than CAM.

Godfather · Sep 15, 2011

My formation:

Abbiati; Abate, Nesta, T.S., Zambrotta; Nocerino, MVB, Urby; Seedorf, Aquilani; Pato.

Dutchie-Milan · Sep 15, 2011

Midfield will be Nocerino-MVB-Seedorf with Aquilani behind Cassano&Pato.Its our only options,since Inzaghi,Ibra,Robinho,Boateng,Ambro,Gattuso are out.Emanuelson on the bench as sub and probably El Sharaawy to.

With Taiwo returning we can still field a good team.

milanpalermo23 · Sep 15, 2011

Tuttomercato web is guessing we will play christmas tree with Emanuelson and Aqua behind Pato.

Not bad, and i think Urby can be an excellent atacking threat when playing that high up the field.

I'm not hating that guess in a tough away match. Pato suits perfectly as lonely forward. Without Robinho and Boateng starting, Emanuelson is a must starter. (Maybe we should have done that vs Barça.)
