Italian teams are just getting more embarrassing in CL (minus Inter)

Ranieri's days are numbered - he can never seem to get his team to play well for more than a few month period - I think it comes down to personality - players seem to lose respect for him after a time.

Mourinho is greatness, he was interviewed by Viasat. He said:

- We won by 2-0, we played very well and should have won with a bigger score.
- We are guilty in making Milan play so bad because we controlled the entire game.
- He spoke a lot about Zlatan, most important he said that he is a player he would want in his team always.
- About Rooney he said that in a few weeks or months Rooney would sign a life long contract with Manchester United.
I think the same, and I'm sure about it!

I doubt he'll play in the middle. He'll probably take the right side, as he did this year, and there Marchisio can do a fairly good job.
I just hope he won't be played in his last year's position. With Krasic there, Grygera will be alone against him, and we know how that worked last year.
i'd actually play pepe on the right (with grygera at right back) and krasic on the left for the first 20 minutes. let the milan defense settle for this attack (which they would surely expect the other way around) and then depending where ronaldinho plays switch sides so that krasic plays on the right again and his opposing full back has to adapt to him same with pepe on the left. pepe is good enough going forward while at the same time providing enough cover for grygera and then we can still check if we put krasic on the right.

there is no sense in playing krasic on the same side as ronaldinho and hope that krasics moves outscore the magic that rolandinho creates ...

Yeah, we'll see what happens. Personally I don't see DN making such a change, but I could imagine Allegri doing some changes.
Imo, Robinho on the right and Dinho on the left is the worst for us. I hope Allegri will go for a Pato, Zlatan, Dinho trident, with Dinho on the right.

That will never happen, either Dinho will play on the left of a 3 man attack, or he'll play in the center behind the two, i don't think its possible for Allegri to be stupid enough to play Dinho on the right.

TBH, I don't think Dinho has the speed to really hurt us as he did last year - our current team should be able to shut him down quite quickly on most occassions
