AC Milan vs. Arsenal Discussion Thread

Milans palyers are too old to play 2 games a week. When we have to play in Serie A and CL we play bad in Serie A. When we only play in Serie A then we win some games. Look at the record Milan has this year in Serie A. Only one lose and 2 draws.

Pffft, Afellay & Aissati pwned Milan 2-3 years ago : they were 18 and 17 at that time IIRC

That's why we need to return to the old format : just champions in the champion's league

I heard Milan might play Bonera at right back today, which would play into Arsenal's hands.

Arsenal don't really play with wingers though, most of their players cut inside especially now Rosicky isn't likely to play.

The full backs do provide good width though.

I think its more that Milan need their fullbacks to attack and provide width. Bonera is too defensive and looks better in the centre.

What do you expect the Milan lineup to be tonight then bobi?

Kalac
Bonera Nesta Kaladze Janku
Gattuso Pirlo Ambro
Kaka Seedorf
Gila

Kalac is likely to be fit now then?

Its a bit defensive don't you think. I guess with Kaka though, you don't need to worry about provided too much in the way of offense.

I bet you he scores tonight.

Yeh it looks likely, though still not 100%, it will be a last minute decision.

It's practically the same side that thrashed Man Utd, very balanced if everyone plays well. I just thought it would make sense to start Oddo or even Cafu at RB seeing as Bonera won't provide much width.

Yep, as Rosicky is out it would make sense to try and puch down the right.

I have been busy at work so don't have a clue who our team will be tonight but hoping for an exciting and entertaining game

I take it you don't go to UCL anymore tweeds?

And yeh, hopefully a better game than last night.

My prediction: 1:1

yours?

Well I was on a part time course, so even then I worked four days a week.

Yeh, I now work full time. Had a consultation evening last night though so didn't get home until 11pm and so busy at work atm I only get to come on for a bit at lunch.

Arsenal games are generally far more entertaining than Liverpools

Looks like I'm gonna have to watch two games at the same time again. Here come big bad Milan rallying 'round the family.

What does it mean?

let's do that lying c**t & his henchmen

5-0 to the Arsenal & all Milan players on oxygene after the match...

Brilliant

What I'd go for. I do agree with Agooner that there's a strong case for going with Philippe over Touré on recent form/shape etc though. Shaz is taking the piss with Bendtner never mind Traoré () in a game like this. There is alas no alternative to Eboué and I don't think that Denilson out wide is realistic. Assuming Sagna plays, which seems extraordinary, one can only hope he's in an OK state – anyone know any details?

We play Gilberto, we're out, it's that simple. It's not the way to deal with their massed midfield the way he's been this season and the team will need to defend collectively anyway...

How many goals has Adebayor got in Europe this season?

How many goals has Adebayor got in Europe this season?

Good thing I didn't get tempted by his league form and buy him for my fantasy team

Never scored in Europe as far as I know, not for us anyway. Now is the time for him – and some others – to step up...

Adebayor's record in Europe has been shocking.

He needs to step up now. Eduardo in contrast scored a couple in the groups I think and scored against us last year for Zagreb (twice)

To be fair to him how many of our CL games has he played in this year? Is it even more than two or three?

Probably not. Still, I imagine its playing on his mind a bit and the sooner he breaks his duck the better. Hopefully tonight

That is a very clever pun from Tweedle, or Luis, or both.

Well done boys, have a coconut. Or a pato

He's scored 13 european goals according to the bbc, but yeah none for us.

Mind u he wasn't legible to play for us the year he signed, don't think he started too many games last season and only started about 2-3 for us this season. Not a good record but it doesn't have any bearing on whether he'll score tonight or not. Remember Ronaldo scored his 1st european goal for manu in the quarters against roma last season, ade might do the same vs milan.

can't wait for the match!
