[Serie A] milan 1-1 JUVENTUS (Feb. 25th 2012) (9 Viewers)

[Salvatore]

I have a feeling this will one situation where we will go in with too much respect for Milan & end up regretting it. I say we have nothing to lose so go gung ho on them. Let them chase the game. I would love to see this formation:

Buffon
Licht Barzagli Chiellini De Ceglie
Vidal Pirlo Marchisio
Giacherini
Quagliarella Vucinic
​

I want Pirlo to stay a little deeper to take the ball early so that we can avoid any pressure on the defence & Giach to run at the Milan defenders.

I do think we should use players that will run at Milan and stretch that midfield as much as possible, but I think it might be safer to go with the tested 4-3-3 with Pepe on the right though.

Giach is tricky though, he could drift from side to side as needed.

Eventhough it might not seem so at first glance, the draw suits Milan much more. I believe Allegri knows this. I hope Conte knows this and will not play for a draw.

Why do I say that the draw suits Milan...
I'm going with this year's results and form most of all. Juve are playing hot/cold. If we continue this way we will have a 9-6-0 or 8-7-0 record in the last 15 matches (33 points or 31 point).
For two seasons now Milan are annihilating the small teams. If they play a draw with us, they will already have Juve, Udinese, Napoli and Lazio behind them and they will only have Inter and Roma at San Siro left from the best teams. There is the away match in Palermo which could result with lost points, but the remaining 11 matches for Milan are against teams that Milan has been beating without an effort for 2 years now.
If we draw on Saturday we will have 1 point less and 1 game less than Milan. Even if we beat Bologna (it's 50-50) we will have 2 points more than Milan and 14 matches each. That's gonna be a very small difference. Way too small for winning the scudetto with such schedules ahead of Milan and Juve.
Only a win imo will keep us in the game.

Naturally, all these count only if Juve and Milan continue playing the same way we've been playing this season and Milan have been playing in the last two seasons.

I like it. My conern neither Mirko or Quag are in scoring form, but then again none of our strikers are right now.

Quags scored recently

OLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Our Primavera won the Viareggio cup

Depends on which Pepe turns up.

Indeed we are ones who need a win more here. Might as well pull out all stops,

Which is why Borriello won't start.

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

Rest Delpie for this one. We need him next week.

 

[X Æ A-12]

We should play both Vucinic and Quagliarella from the start.

Borriello needs a rest

 

[Joe]

I say we play with the squad and the formation we all know and love. That includes Pepe on the right and Matri in the centre. Matri was obviously not put on the pitch against Catania because we're resting him for the Milan game. If those starting 11 players fail to perform then throw in Giaccherini, Quagliarella, etc.

Buffon
Lichtsteiner - Barzagli - Chiellini - De Ceglie
Vidal - Pirlo - Marchisio
Pepe - Matri - Vucinic​

Let's fuck these red and black turds up.

Anyone in NYC looking for a place to watch this game?
I work at a bar and I'm looking to set up a back room with 8 TV and game sound on
Who's in?!

 

[Marty]

"Boateng" looks all-neck on that one.

I want to see a 2 goal win here, at the least. We've beaten them twice before but now is not the time to become complacent and underestimate them.

 

[Marty]

They're in better form now though than on previous occations, let's give them that. Even Robinho scores ffs. Their midfield is still their (by far) weakest link. I can see a draw here.

 

[marjin]

X2 is the logic first thought maybe the bettin option for a derby like this but i prefer our win.I believe in our team.

 

[Gian]

Fuck Meelan

 

[MilanMB]

The way you guys are talking it seems like you just came back home from a CL win.

dat confidence.

 

[Ali]

The confidence comes from the fact that we suck at beating small teams. We somehow manage to get pumped up for the big ones.
