iceFatboy SG I was wondering, given MUFC's inability to compete with ACMilan in the MF which led to their lost, how would Chelsea or Gunners approach this SF? I do believe each team got their strength and weakness. MUFC in their width and counter. Gunners in their free-flow. Liverpool in their MF and guts. Chelsea in their productive and strong attack. We can all see on may23 how liverpool going to go at Milan. Just wondering how a Chelsea or Gunners would approach Milan? Maybe Blues or Gunners' fans can share.
stellazio SG chelsea's and liverpool style will be similar. press hard,without commiting too many men forward. make it difficult for milan to break them down by denying time and space on the ball. and since they won't commit too many men forward at 1 go, theefore making themselves not as vulnerable to the counter attack.
iceFatboy SG I would say Milan, strong in MF, and attack, not that strong in defence. However, saying that, MUFC did not really explore in San Siro, but shown in OT during the first leg.
zocoss SG Actually i feel Milan isn't really that strong, Celtic hold them and even almost beat them. Therefore i feel Pool has what it takes to beat them on a neutral ground like in Athens.
iceFatboy SG was it a full Milan team? but Celtic was a high octane team too, with their japanese genius.
used SG milan and arsenal are teams which mainly focus on passing. if it was a full strength arsenal, then i would back them win the tussle but with the current squad it would be a fair match where it could go either way milan are good at aerial balls so chelsea long ball approch towards drogba may not be efficient cos other than the defenders, pirlo and gatusso are also defensive minded players. if these two teams ever meet, i think it would be a goaless draw.
