Milan vs Celtic- second leg, March 7 2007

So, guys what will our starting line-up be?

Dida; Oddo, Bonera, Simic(?), Janku; Gattuso, Pirlo, Seedorf; Kaka; Gilardino, Inzaghi

I think we will start with those players. Any predictions?

Predictions: 2 - 1.

Kaka and Gattuso for Milan.

Oh man, if Celtic score first, that'd be one nervy game.

Yeah, it would esp with Milan then attacking and leaving their old defence liable to attack.

Celtic can't attack to save their lives. All they will do is try to unsettle you with set pieces. If you can handle that then the tie is yours.

Oddo 30, Simic 31, Bonera 25, and Janku 29. Average age just under 29. Hardly that old.

Celtic are like kittens away from home. If Milan don't win this easily then something is wrong.

Still...all it takes is a goal from a set-piece. Cat amongst the pigeons then.

Is Inzaghi fit, then??

I assume so. I think he was warming up to replace Gila over the weekend until Ancelotti decided to throw on Ambro and Seedorf.

I think we will play with two strikers either way. So Oliveira could come on as well.

I think Ancellotti should use Inzaghi... he can always sneak a goal beating the offside trap, and will be useful from that perspective...

I am pretty confident that Milan will impose themselves and go thru comfortably.... kaka is back in form, that should be too much for celtic...

I hope the right team scores the goals.

I am nervous.

Milan probable team:

Dida; Massimo Oddo, Daniele Bonera, Paolo Maldini, Marek Jankulovski; Gennaro Gattuso, Andrea Pirlo, Massimo Ambrosini, Clarence Seedorf; Kaká; Filippo Inzaghi.

Milan 3-0 Celtic

I have foreseen it.

Heard a Celtic fan got hit by a taxi or something whilst he was in Milan...died : ( not nice.

Anyway, I reckon Celtic can pull one out of the bag. Or lose 4-0

Well this is pretty crap, he's still playing only 1 upfront.

Line-ups:

- - - - - - - - - - Dida - - - - - - - - - -

Oddo - Bonera - Maldini - Jankulovski

Gattuso - Pirlo - Ambrosini - Seedorf

- - - - - - - - - - Kaka - - - - - - - - - -

.- - - - - - - - - Inzaghi - - - - - - - - -


- - - - - Vennegoor - - Jarosik - - - - -

McGeady - Lennon - Sno - Nakamura

Naylor - - McManus - O'Dea - - Telfer

- - - - - - - - - - - Boruc - - - - - - - - - - -

Should be a cracker, 2-1 Milan

the dates wrong.

With Jarosik upfront, which I believe Celtic fans despise, Strachan is obviously counting on Celtic winning the tie through a set-piece or some such.

Indeed, he defended his reliance on this method in a recent press interview where he reeled off stats about just how many goals arise from set-pieces in the CL.

Why not experiment? After all, Celtic have been unable to break down Milan in their past encounters with one another. It took a Varga header from a set piece to score against them previously.

I am nervous, I must say.

Forza Milan!

speaking of dates, if the 1st leg of the next round is at home for Liverpool and is on the 4th not the 3rd of april then I won't be able to go I'm going to Barcelona on the 4th for 3 days, I'm still going to get tickets so they appear on my fancard thus making me elegible for the semi game and hopefully the final if we get past the quarters and semis!

Given Gila's diffidence in Europe...it's ok.
