Why didn't Milan play any strikers in the game against Chelsea?

Milan really hasn't got much but Pato up front. Ronaldo is off the team from what I know and I guess it wasn't worth risking an aging Inzaghi in a friendly...but it also showed how much they cared about the game :down:

As expected Barca dominated.  Hleb was great in the first half as well as Xavi.  They couldn't handle Eto'o.  Henry looked alright.  The youngsters Bojan and Suarez came on and looked good.  Bojan got himself in great positions to finish, but he didn't.  He's gonna be gangster in a few years.  I'm not sure I like Puyol right back though.  Just strange to see him over there.  I think he's better in the center.  But he did well and set up Suarez's goal I believe.  The only goals for the Red Bulls were 1.  Valdes mishandling a cross that fell right to Stammler and 2.  looked like the defense was just letting them have a goal.  Abidal let the guy move in for the low cross on the ground and Valdes got a touch but Angel got the rebound and tapped it in.  The defense wasn't marking very well.  Just being lazy.

Just think, they're playing this way without Messi.  Can't wait to see him in the squad as well

Bojan is already very good. Everytime he comes on he creates something.

Nice to hear Hleb is fitting in well already. He did well against Chivas too. Henry continues to be just average. I think Gudjohnsen can do as much as Henry for that team.

Puyol sucks at right back. He always gets raped out there. Just watch him play as right back against any decent team. I also think he's overrated at that center back position, but oh well.
