Great to get another 3 points despite playing averagely. Kranjcar Was also impressed with Sandro
Sound like a broken record, but our strikers aren't adding much to the team tbh. Pav and Defoe are basically goal poachers- if they don't get the ball to feet (in space) in the box they're just there for a ride. Crouch is **** too, but at least he has the potential to win an important header one time out of five.
I like milan and watch basically all their games, and their squad is in good shape. Pato and Nesta are back from injuries (to say nothing of robinho and ibrahimovic) yeah we'll need lots of luck.

To put it quite bluntly we are going to get absolutely killed.
Then they come to the Lane a fortnight later and we kill them, just by more
Interesting info I've been reading on the AC Milan line up on some blogs;
It's likely that Thiago Silva may actually start as midfielder anchor. A whole host of players are out, MVB is cup-tied and Allegri mentioned he could well start in midfield to the press. Instead Yepes will start in his place at CB and is probably more suited to dealing with Crouch; he's apparently very good in the air and powerful.
It's unlikely that Pato, Ibra and Robinho will all start as it hasn't worked well in previous games; it's more likely they'll use Seedorf behind Ibra and Robinho and have Pato on the bench as an attacking option.
So the most likely starting lineup seems to be:
Abbiati
Abate Nesta Yepes Antonini
Gattuso T. Silva Flamini
Seedorf
Robinho Ibrahimovic.
Other combinations could be Robinho instead of Seedorf behind Pato and Ibrahimovic, Thiago Silva at CB and Sokratis as the anchor, T. Silva at CB and Merkel in midfield.
