Preferred Formation

[Deleted member 24225]

I would prefer something like this

___________Ibra______Pato_______

_____________Dinho/Binho__________

Flamini/Ambro____Pirlo/Dorf____Boateng

Anto___Silva_____Nesta_____Zambro/Abate

____________ Amelia/Abbiati

We need to have a DM on the pitch because we need someone to cover the defense. Also I think we should try to play Dinho/Binho behind the two CFs, could work better.
We could still play 4-3-3, but with a DM and Ibra-Pato need to be closer to the goal.

 

[ww]

who say i don't like gattuso and ambrosini? if i forgot to include strasser that doesn't mean i hate him!!
Please read what i write above CLEARLY is there any word said I HATE THEM???

Oh no it wasn't towards to you. It was to most of the people that always talk like Strasser weren't a part of the team.

From Football Italia:
Milan boss Massimiliano Allegri admits he is planning to build his side around new signing Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Allegri has had to rip up his plans for Milan and start afresh following the arrivals of Ibrahimovic and Robinho late in the transfer window.

La Gazzetta dello Sport understands Allegri plans to shift from a 4-3-1-2 to a 4-4-2 with Kevin-Prince Boateng and Ronaldinho out wide.

“We must try and find him a little higher up the pitch with vertical passes and with balls to feet,” Allegri said.

“Ibra is very good at holding the ball up and playing his teammates through to finish a move off,” he concluded.

I love his optomism that we just have to move KPB out wide to sort things... And does Dinho not already play out wide, lol

Ah well, if thats all its going to take then wicked

 

[Maldiniac]

what 4-3-1-2 formation? i dont think i've seen allegri using it...but i like the idea of building the team around ibra with 4-4-2...this milan team have decent players (well except for fb's ) to accomodate the classic 4-4-2 scheme, and he mustnot forget that hes got pato coming back from injury within 1-2 weeks so that means he should be building this team around pato...lol whatever i just want to see players mentalities changing in to the right direction first

 

[Dutchie-Milan]

Ideal Line-up would be:

Amelia
Zambrotta-Nesta-Silva-Antonini
Boateng-Pirlo/Seedorf-Flamini
Robinho-Ibracadabra-Dinho

OR

Amelia
Zambro-Nesta-Silva-Antonini
Flamini-Pirlo-Seedorf
Boateng
Ibrahimovic-Robinho

Playing 4 4 2 and 4 3 3 dont need the same player on the pitch!!

If Allegri play an attacking style, I like se that he go for it 100% not as now, mixing 442 and 433 players. not fit to any or to both of this system.

4 3 3 style, full attacking means,

Strikers: Dinho Ibra Pato

Midfield: Binho T. Silva Boateng

Defenders have many options.


If playing 4 4 2 means less attacking style, and requeries a lot different approach of players.

Why to put T Silva in the midfield ?? Well, He is one of the fastest player that Milan has,
and he have great skills both in attack and in defending, he is good on head, good shooter, and can also become a great help as a 4 striker to help in the box, from corners and crossbaals into the box, he will be a great help in defending because he can track down many attackings coz of hes great speed, the ideal midfeilder in an attacking style.

Seedorf and pirlo should only play when Allegri play 4 4 2 system, never in a 4 3 3, they are to slow on the midfield.

 

[Centre]

a 4-4-2 with dinho at LM is just going to turn into a 4-3-3 anyway...

 

[Pedro]

a 4-4-2 with dinho at LM is just going to turn into a 4-3-3 anyway...

True.

 

[Sod-Lod]

he is playing usual shit now people tend to notice
may be cause kaka is not there godly defense is not here, gattuso is not here, dinho is not in his top form

Nope, I noticed that from couple years and I excused him base on our bad situation and the pressures, but in this year he is exposing in wide way " No Excuses any More" but I will wait for couple games more, maybe he is not getting into the field well in the friends games

 

[Marco Gullit]

any formation with Dinho in it wether its 4-4-2 or 4-3-1-2 , WILL turn in to 4-3-3 pretty quickly.

If we're going to play 4-4-2, we need 4 midfielders realy do we not, or did I miss that day in management school? Dinho in the hole offers us just as little defencive cover from the front.

I'm going to try stop being negative till after tomorrow nights match, but Dinho in the hole or as a wide midfielder doesn't fill me with hope.......

 

[sanzen]

when are you clowns going to realize milan is not a 4-4-2 team. that is not the style of these players. 90 percent of milans attack is central (except for that dinho clown). If you people think robinho or ronaldinho can play the midfield on 4-4-2 then i genuinely feel bad for you. the formations posted on this thread or so incredibly unbalanced because most of them include dinho when people with a bit of sense know that he should be benched.....go suck a d

 

[Ashish]

a 4-4-2 with dinho at LM is just going to turn into a 4-3-3 anyway...

so true can we play zlatan as no 10 and dinho as ss?

or i hope we bench dinho for binho


binho --seedorf --flamini--boateng midfield will have enough tenacity skill and speed

if we are adamant on playing pirlo then i dont know what should we do

pirlo dinho zlatan and pato who is going to be a striker is going to be a real pain even seedorf has that problem but seedorf is able to hold on to ball when needed that too in opponents half

 

[sanzen]

i can make up a totally ridiculous, unbalanced midfield line-up too!!!!!

buffon-zoff-pagliuca <---best midfield trio of all time.

 

[Ashish]

noway berlu wont buy those players for you

 

[sanzen]

he will buy those players if i make a ridiculous presentation with some fancy powerpoint slides about how these players can maximize his profit. only thing that silvio cares about is $$$$. he will only buy players that will sell shirts. apart from him being a douchebag, he is a terrible president. everyone in italy hates this guy for a reason. i would know since i currently live in italy. i have not heard one person say something good about this guy. he can go suck a d too for all i care. galliani should be the president!

 

[Pedro]

or i hope we bench dinho for binho

I'm undefined at the moment when it comes to that. Now Pato is out they both will play, so the one who fails to contribute in defending and showing movement, etc(also playing good attacking obviously) can go to the bench when Pato is back. I like what Ronaldinho adds when it comes to giving our forwards goal scoring chances, but let's see what will happen the next few matches.

Now: Ronaldinho, Ibrahimovic, Robinho
Later: Ronaldinho, Ibrahimovic, Pato or Pato, Ibrahimovic, Robinho

Let the battle begin!

This should surely be the hottest topic on the forum right now. Personally I hate the traditional 4-4-2 but I like the diamond version. (4-1-2-1-2) I dont think Milan's first XI would be suited to a 4-4-2. I can understand why Gazzetta are reporting Allegri wants to change tactics especially with how fragile our defence has been, but I think the formation is fine. Just a problem with certain personnel, bad form, individual mistakes and injuries.

4-3-3 saw us play really well last season especially in defence, the problem was the inability to score... kind of ironic with the strengths and weaknesses being reversed at current time. It's early days so far I dont want to see a different formation every week, I want to see consistency so our players can get used to the system. I dont mind the odd variation but I hope and expect that Allegri isn't a pussy and wont change formations too much.

We just need to find a balance and maybe change one or two players positions and mentalities. The one thing I must admit I would love to see changed is Pirlo's position at DM (deep play maker) teams have got used to him just sitting deep maybe he needs a different position in the midfield to bring out his best and maybe we could then play with a proper anchorman DM in front of the defence that doesn't mind getting dirty, if we have a player to do the dirty work I think we will click after a while, we just need some luck and to be injury free.

R80 drifting out wide left, Ibra coming deep to get the ball and play more freely is fine by me as long as they reach an understanding with each other soon. Evidence of our front three linking up nicely all ready exists and hopefully it will grow so they can balance and work at there best. Our biggest problem has been our defence and unusually it has been brought about by individual mistakes that our opponents ruthlessly capitalise on,if we can stop these mistakes and become more organised at the back I think the results will come.

 

[Redman10]

Play a formation that suited to PATO strengths and then build from there. Which means any formation that has Pato central instead of wide right. Either a 4-3-1-2 or 4-4-2. Any player that can't fit into those formation can either adapt to a different role or sit there asses on the bench.

 

[Paladin]

Allegri have got an hung up on our CO/ attacs!!!

All attacking teams have more or less problem with this, and you can never awoid it to cero ! but they can be minimised.

Milans problem is the midfield, they are to slow, they cant give the right support to the strikers, and they are to slow on co/attacs.

Play 4 3 3 with Dinho, Ibra and Pato as strikers

Play Binho T Silva Boateng as midfielders.

T Silva is one of the best Players that Milan have, why not playing him on the midfield? he run faster then a Ferrari, have all the skills needed for the support of strikers, and he sure can stop Co/attacs, before they become a threat.

If Allegri will play Attacking football, then he cant use player that are suited for a heawy defence!!
If Binho Silva and Boateng will play on the midfield, milan will get a totaly new shape, I bet they can easly open any defence in europe.

Milan have to winn tonight, otherway the morale in team will go away, supporters will be mad, and the big boss will be furious.

I hope Allegri will sort ewery thing out tonigt, it´s about time, even there is many players that are new in team, but they are not any newbees, they are profecionals, Milan should have winn all there matches so far, but they have not!!

Is it realy Allegri, or is it someone else who decide the players to use??

The other team have no respect in Milan anymore, The 4 aces have shown nothing, because of the midfield, the midfield are the engine, without the engine no team can survive it´s time to wake up, i like se glory football tonight.

Send the troops in, humilate the defenders, scoore goals!! show me that u have what it takes Allegri.

 

[sanzen]

^^^terrrible suggestion

 

[Calum1903]

@ Paladin: and how about Shevchenko at CB for deep attack™?

 

[Senatore_M84]

Play a formation that suited to PATO strengths and then build from there. Which means any formation that has Pato central instead of wide right. Either a 4-3-1-2 or 4-4-2. Any player that can't fit into those formation can either adapt to a different role or sit there asses on the bench.

Exactly. A 2 striker system will maximize pato and ibrahimovic. Its only ronaldinho it might not suit. Even then he should be able to play other roles if he cares to.... but the whole run team around ron is not a good idea. Considering we lack a true trequartista....

Pato--ibra

Robinho--pirlo--dm--boateng

Antonini--nesta--silva--boner
Amelia​

Robinho excelled in this role for city and though he's weak works hard. He runs enough and generally would have free role. Besides a dm and boateng will provide enough muscle + pirlos tactical awareness.

And truthfully id play pippo as patos sub or move robinho uptop. The whole "no shooting" thing from ron is annoying.

 

[ww]

I don't like 4-4-2 playing with a pure DM.

4-4-2 requires players who know how to defend and playmaking on the center midfield. Flamini, Gattuso, Ambrosini and Strasser aren't skilled enough to playmaking.

4-4-2 may work better with Boateng on the center together with Pirlo.

The wingers could be Ronaldinho and Robinho but then Allegri would need to ask them to work really hard and not like pussies, which is something difficult to happen but still, not impossible.

 

[Senatore_M84]

I Don't like pure 442 either but we lack a trequartista unless ron decides to evolve which he's shown little desire to do. I'm tired of seeing time sacrificed to maximize one player. Perhaps it worked last year but now we have 2 new attackers who r atleast at talented as him and pato who is arguably our best attacker period. Point is we need a tactic that takes advantage of most top players possible. 442 way I drew it up would maximize pato, ibra and pirlo (who played the 1 winger 442 in wc2006). Robinho for his flaws has always shown ability to adapt to different tactical schemes and will work hard

Keep in mind using flamini as dm (or even ambro though only for 45-60 mins a game) would give us a highly active midfield. Not to mention flams best year was as dm next to fabregas (less defensively inclined to pirlo) in a 442. Difference was the wingers (hleb and co. put in work...boateng and robinho would do that)

Now what do you prefer? System where most of our players prosper and ronaldinho has to evolve to fit.... or a system where 42 mil in new attackers + milans future (pato) are rendered much less effective to appease ronaldinho?

For the record.... im not saying I want to drop ron. I'm saying we need to find a system that suits majority

Edit; also didn't sacchi and capello use guys like donadoni, gullit, savicevic on wing as midfielders....but really added attackers cutting in and joining. That's what I have in mind for robinho. Not a winger sitting and crossing

 

[acmilan4ever]

the 4-4-2 wont work out that great unless we get Felipe Melo/Denilson to compliment Pirlo in midfield and a right winger like Krasic/Navas/Walcott. We more or less have the team for it, just need to add a right winger with pace and a good all-rounder CM.

 

[MassterMark]

Pato--ibra

Robinho--pirlo--dm=flamini--boateng

Antonini--nesta--silva--boner
Amelia​

it took long, but you figure out how our version of optimal formation would looks like
​

 

[MassterMark]

pato____ibra

a.m.

merkel_____flamini_____prince

​

antonini____silva____nesta____abate

amelia

a.m.= ganso / verdi / ozil / gourcuff / jovetič / hamšik

this would work too.
​

 

[Nesta_Pirlo]

pato____ibra

a.m.

merkel_____flamini_____prince

​

antonini____silva____nesta____abate

amelia

a.m.= ganso / verdi / ozil / gourcuff / jovetič / hamšik

this would work too.
​

Oezil is having one hell of a game in Madrid he is not leaving anytime soon if you are hellbent on germans I suggest Schweinsteiger or Podolski

And Merkel is in primavera, pato is injured, jovetic doesn't sound good to me yet on the gourcuff I am 100% with you miss him

 

[Redman10]

Robinho played on the wing during his time at madrid. The 4-4-2 can work.

 

[Pedro]

I don't know how to call the formation. Robinho tracking back, Boateng going to RW position, Ibrahimovic creating space for Pato...
