cant remember whether CM has that formation or not cos i always used custom formations. i used 4-2-3-1 to indicate that while mascherano and alonso r termed as midfielders, they would most likely have mostly defensive duties, mop up and both are fully capable of hitting those accurate long passes out of defence to the attacking players, namely the striker, the attacking central midfielder and the wingers who will mainly harrass the aged defence. just my way of trying to show a more detailed 4-5-1 cos there r many ways to describe a 4-5-1. sheffield (whom i think totally deserved to go down) played 4-5-1 too, by putting 5 across midfield to crowd out any creativity, which meant that players trying to support the attack will have to go a long way to do so... thus limiting their attacking options. not good to watch. too kiasu and too kiasi!!!:D

I think arbeloa is a suspect left back. He has been caught a few times playing in the left back position. Will rather Riise play. Defensively, Riise isn't that much better than Arbeloa but offensively, his mid-range missiles are world class. I use the word mid-range cos otherwise I dunno how to describe Alonso's from our own half shots
|
personally, i would prefer to use riise as left wing simply bcos no matter what, he is still defensively more sound than kewell. riise is more ready to track back and be more effective while kewell, i dont really see him doing such. in fact i see kewell making half-hearted tackles more often than not... arbeloa is still ok lah, but i do see that he makes risky tackles though. too bad for aurelio is injured but no use crying over spilt milk. but arbeloa does very well to support the wingers, always there to give the wingers an extra outlet to pass out of danger and does combine well on both flanks...

need to attack their mid players, to keep them occupy, if not they will launch attack after attack. they got too many dangerious players.
wingers must do their part, keep running at their fullbacks, drag their mid players along, to prevent them from attacking our defense.
must ensure kaka work hard for the ball, and also pirlo.

my point exactly, bro. totally exact....

not too sure about that... think rafa will start with a more compact and more defensive team. i worry about kewell though... sometimes he completely drifts out of games whenever he loses confidence. is it too early to start him after such a lengthy absence? i would prefer that pool put him in later in the second half and let him run at very tired and old italian defenders...

gattuso in my humble opinion, is actually more valuable to milan than any other player. he epitomises the team and he presents himself as a constant threat. he doesnt need form, he just runs the opposition down week in, week out. that said, i agree that no matter what, it is going to be an exciting game to watch... ball's now in gerrard court, it is up to him to stand up and grab the game by the scruf of the neck, something which he has really been doing lately although he is still playing well. hopefully, he is saving up his best for the last game of the season...
cheers all.. |
