A.C Siena-A.C MIlan preview

Being -3 from the top and with an inferior head to head record, the title is essentially out of our hands and the best we can do is keep winning our games and hope the Lord likes us much more than he does our duck. The side has been terrible in recent weeks with flat performances particularly from the midfield and Ibrahimovic. One can’t seem to shake off the feeling to get out there and strangle someone when watching our games these days, and the whole side from Allegri downwards would need to pull their collective thumbs out of their backsides to get anything worthy out of this plucky Siena side.

SANNINO THE OPPONENTS Siena, at the Artemio Franchi; they are currently on an amazing run , with 6 wins out of their last ten games, which should be much like our record. Mattia Destro is on a terrific run, with 5 goals in his last 6 games, and with concerns over his fitness; one can only hope he does not recover in time especially with the terrific form our defence is in right now. Considering what a shambles we’ve been recently, this is a game to be approached with the greatest possible caution.

MAGIC COMBINATION...? THE SQUAD In a measure of what a crazy one this season’s been, it’s worthy to note that Allegri has something resembling a full squad. Urby Emmanuelson and Robinho didn’t make it, whilst it’s debatable whether it’s a knock or exasperation which has led to Seedorf’s exclusion; either way I’m all for it. It seems Allegri has learned a thing or two about injuries too, with Thiago Silva being left out as a precaution. Abbiati, Amelia, Piscitelli, Abate, Antonini, Bonera, Mesbah, Mexes, Nesta, Yepes, Aquilani, Boateng, Flamini, Gattuso, Merkel, Muntari, Nocerino, Van Bommel, Cassano, El Shaarawy, Ibrahimovic, Maxi Lopez.

: "We are still in the running for the title and it pleases me to know that we are. It definitely depends on Juve but a victory tomorrow will keep the door open. "It is difficult to judge how I have done, the club and the media will have to do that. My worry is facing these last four games in the best way possible, starting tomorrow at the Franchi. It will not be easy because Siena are in form and they are close to the number of points they reached last season. "Thiago Silva was not called up because he does not feel ready to return yet so rather than risk him we will leave him behind. Boateng is 90 per cent set to start and we will decide on Cassano. "I am not interested in rumours about who will replace me, up until May 13th I am the coach here. I look after the players but in terms of the coach it is up to the club to decide those things. "Juventus are doing well and have not lost in the league. TYhey have scored 19 goals in the last seven matches and conceded just one. They deserve to be where they are but he lost points against Bologna and Fiorentina while enabled Juve to go ahead of us. For us to win the league we will have to do something exordinary and then Juve will have to slip up. "Emaneulson had a bit of a back problem yesterday after taking a knock. He is still in pain today. Seedorf is feeling some pain after taking a knock to his calf. Robinho has not been in great shape and will sit out a round. We have dropped off since being knocked out of the Champions League although we bounced back up until Easter despite the numerous injuries we had. We paid a bit but that does not mean that we should stop playing to win and keep the pressure on Juve. "I don't want to bore everyone with allusions and go on about what has happened. It seems difficult Juventus will drop two points the way they are playing but anything can happen in football and we have to go to Siena looking for three points so that Juve cannot relax." FORZA MILAN!!!! moonbyte
