Put who you want to put, the most imprortant thing is 2 strikers and one of them should be Milito.

Maicon is suspended, Forlan/Sneijder/Alvarez are "maybes" after injuries and Samuel I don't know

others could play, unless I'm forgeting somebody

SNEIJDER AND ALVAREZ RETURN WORKING IN GROUP

Ranieri to count on the recovery of two playmakers for Sunday.
Today, test for Samuel while Maicon to miss Novara game due to suspension.

Milan - The face-to-face between Ranieri and the players will take place this afternoon as the team returning on the field after the defeat against Roma. The medical staff will be working hard regarding the conditions of Walter Samuel who left the Olimpico with a problem at the quadriceps that prevented him from playing in the second half of that game. Depending on the conditions of the Argentinian, the team will decide whether to submit more tests.

Alternatives to Maicon So the defender remains doubtful for the game on Sunday against Novara. The one certainty is the absence of Maicon who is on a one-game suspension. The alternatives to the Brazilian are lacking however from Faraoni, Nagatomo with Chivu on the left and Zanetti on the right.

Ricky and Wes in group Ranieri is hoping for the return of Alvarez and Sneijder, the two players that can light up the team in the darkness. Both today should return training in group with Stankovic and Forlan. Inter will take a very cautious approach on the last two so much so that the Uruguayan could postpone his return to the 17th against Bologna in view of the Champions League on the 22 in Marseille.

Guarin calm Longer recovery time is needed for Fredy Guarin who could not be used in the Champions League because of the two games he played in the group stage with Porto. The Colombian should return in time from Portugal to continue therapies for his injury which was badly treated during his time at Porto. It is difficult for Ranieri to have him in 20 days. "I want to return very soon," he wrote on Twitter. "The new shirt number will be revealed on the day of presentation. "My" 13? It's Maicon's."

Zarate can't pass and Pazzo can't do anything without supply
maybe it's time to test 4-4-1-1 with Alvarez or Sneijder as a second striker ??

Good news regarding Sneijder and Alvarez but wtf regarding Guarin... I hope he doesn't play a "Forlan" on us with injuries

Forlan is ready? :yao:

I would let him on the tribunes for the next 10 days, just to be sure... :troll:


We need to create chances against Novara, an opponent who will play only on counter attacks. And we need to play possession, dominant football, everything else would be a shame...
So we need Sneijder and Alvarez at the same time on the field.

I would try this one, but we all know Mr. Ranieri...

Milito - Zarate
Sneijder ----- Alvarez
Cambiasso - Poli
Yuto - Samuel - Lucio - Zanetti
Castellazzi​

^ If we play like that we'll definitely concede and plus Zarate? :yao:

I'd rather play with Milito as a lone striker with Wes and Ricky behind him.

If that Roma game doesn't shake things up formation-wise, I don't know what will. Ranieri might be too set in his ways.

Zarate was always a substitute, in the last 5-10 minutes in matches that were almost lost...
So what the hell should he do? Come on the field and score 3 goals?
Give him the chance to start, at least he is better than Pazzo, and Forlan is not fit enough.

Zarate has never done anything useful in 6 months. Except for that goal in CL, he was shit all the time. He was shit even in the stands, and every time he played, he made me wanna strangle him. I can't believe how every players under performs for us, while they play as superstars in other teams.

Watch out for Muntari shining in Milan.

Vieri and Ronaldo were at the end of their careers, Mancini was just as shit for us as he was for them.

Word is Walter Samuel could miss the first game against Marseille but there's hope. However, he is certainly going to miss this one and the next league game against Bologna.

Goddammit. By not having Wally available nowadays is just a tough situation and a huge loss in our defence. I really wish he recovers quickly because we will surely need him, at least for the Champions League game.

Even with Samuel, our defense has looked shitty recently. Take him away, and it's going to be downright comical.

Any combination of Lucio/Rano/Chivu/Cordoba is a recipe for :trollol:

Individually, they're all fuck-up prone, but then they join forces like Voltron and form a truly catastrophic combination and hilarity ensues.

We really need a new Samuel.
