No Sheva, No Senderos, but Palo, Brocchi, Oddo, Digao. Stopped the DB around one or two weeks before transfer windows deadline I guess.

I wonder when shall we see a team like the one in 2003/2007? With 2 strikers (from Sheva, Pato, Boriello, Pippo), 2 attacking mids (from Kaka, Dinho and Seedorf) and 2 defensive ones (from Pirlo, Flamini, Ambro, Rino)?

Drop the fucking Xmas tree, Carlo, I'm starting to even hate Xmas because of it!

Here's my new formation. It comprises of...

The 11 players on the team who are most willing to go out there for their colours and win for honour and respect. It's time we earned it. We have a team of incredible players, on paper, one of the best squads in the world. But it now comes down to playing not the most talented players, but those who want to give most for this team. Bench your superstars if you must. If they don't get the message, show them the bench until they do. if they don't co-operate...ship their useless ass out of Milan. I don't care if you're Kaka', Ronaldinho, Pirlo, hell, even if your name is Maldini. If you love Milan you'll play to death for them. You'll do whatever it takes to win.

Look at Genoa. They're a bunch of nobody's, but they had heart and determination. They played balls to the fucking wall the whole game. They made it happen. We just think that we can win games by just showing up, but I'm sorry, that's not how it happens in football. You have to DESERVE to win, and you have to DESERVE to have your name on the starting11. All our players take for granted that their name will get them on the starting XI sheet. If Ancelotti always reuses the same players, they know their spots are secure, hence, the players know they don't have to fight for their lives each time they step on the field, because they'll get to play again next week.

I bet if we took 11 of us forumers and put us on the field, we might lose 20-0, but we wouldn't stop running, and we'd kill for the ball. We'd maybe end the match with 7 players, but we'll NEVER give up.

Our problem is not old age, but our problem is heart. If Ancelotti, can't instill pride into our boys...then his days are over. If the players can't play for pride and for the red and black colours...then their days at Milan are over.

The midfield needs to be fix in order to ease some of the pressure the defense is facing. That back-back games the Midfield has been overrun and weak on counters. Flamini is good but IMO Ambrosini is not starting material.

if we really want to attack on conter we need to play 4-3-1-2 w/ kaka behind pato and borriello.... let them run the counter... sux we'd have to drop dinho, seedorf... but if dinho isnt goingto run its worthless to play him uptop. it kills kaka's game.
think of his 1 brilliant run from behind midfield to goal. had ANYONE been up w/ him to pass to, goal. Not him taking 3 players on (well i might add) and missing wide off balance

Milan can only play 2 formations based on the players they have 4-3-1-2 or 4-3-2-1 anything else will see them be dominated in midfield, make them imbalance and weak on counters.

This formation would work well.

Maldini plays best next to nesta because they know how eachother play. Kaladze is solid down the left and can get forward when needed.

Pirlo would be better in a more advanced role where he can control the match, there is no point in him being a defensive midfielder because he cant tackle, but he is a excellent passer, so why not have him further up the pitch?

Kaka and Ronaldinho given free roles to roam anywhere.

And Inzaghi will thrive off Ronaldinho's through balls, for 1 on 1's with the keeper there is nobody better than Pippo.

This is worth a try in some training session or in that stupid friendly vs FC Tirana, but I think theres a problem that you will have some confusion on the wings, r80 likes to drift out alot and that will interfere with jankulovski so I prefer seedorf in this type of formation or possibly ambrosini who can be present for crosses and also help close down the center of midfield which is quite prone with just flamini there.

Pirlo might not be playing well but it has nothing to do with effort, he puts in more effort than most Milan players & covers up & down a great deal. So don't blame Pirlo for effort, it might be poor long passing or poor set pieces but he always gives his best in terms of workrate.

Something like this?

I am confident in saying that this formation would bring us success.

I agree. It annoys me when players get a bad reputation because people confuse lack of workrate with lack of mobility, physicality or defensive prowess.

^You are right, Pirlo isn't lazy, he just CAN'T run or fight for balls. Come on, the guy has skills and I'm sure he could work harder in training to build up a bit of speed or strength.

with pirl out for ~2 mounths, ancelotti can try this in the midfield:


......................ambrosini....flamini
..........seedorf.............kaka...........ronaldinho



this will give us more speed in attack, there wont be pirlo to hold the ball too much.this worked in capelo's juve a years ago with "emerson-viera",and they haven't player like pirlo!?

I think Carlo needs to play 2 attacker up front and so Dinho will be a sub. Although this formation is good as well and we should try it few times against smaller teams to see how it works. But right now there is no time for experiments as we simply need to win few matches in a row!

I considerably agree with your formation here, but are missing out Sheva who created two chances in the game against Zurich and his movement created more space up front. It's only time he starts scoring...

From this I'd remove Pato and put in Sheva to bring in experience.

A 4-4-2 would also suit us very well, if we take out Senderos or Kaladze, and put in Gattuso or Ambrosini. I'd prefer Ambrosini.
