If Bonucci doesn't start I think we're reverting back to 4-3-3 with Borini-Kalinic-Suso lol

Probable XI vs Roma: Donnarumma; Musacchio, Bonucci, Romagnoli; Borini, Kessie, Biglia, Çalhanoglu, R.Rodriguez; André Silva, Kalinic [Sky].

Borini as wingback against Roma is so fucking stupid move by Montella. Against farmers in EL it is OK but against Roma? Come on man.

Nah Borini is a way better option than Abate. We need better penetration from our wingbacks, Abate won't get us anywhere in that flank. It's useless playing him as a wingback.

with abate as a wing back is like we playing with 10 men , guy barely can defend and 0 attack.

if cuadrado can pull it as a wing back dont see why bobo cant.. sure cuadrado is better offensively but imo bo is better defensively

Abate should only play in a 4 man defense or EL games

calabria is awful but at least he makes a few runs.

Our biggest problem is movement. We just dont have players attacking off-the-ball, trying to win spaces, making it tough for the other team's defence.. Sampdoria match saw absolutely none of this, and it got better only in patches against Rijeka.

Guys like Borini is good at this.. even Calabria. Abate is absolutely shit at this.

Bring on Roma. Tired of this overhyped, can't do shit in the UCL and always runner up ass team. We have more trophies in the past 3 years than them.

We're really missing conti for this, he's not the traditional attacking fullback like RR whipping balls into the box, we could use conti running into the box and always looking to get as close to goal as possible. I also would bet he and Kessie on that right side opened things up for Suso a lot more than how things are now.

We also miss this intensity defensively

True about intensity and off-ball movement.
Suso and Conti's cooperation, if you could even call it that, was nothing to write home about though.

We have too many key players that lack this intensity and movement, and that's been the case for many years. I hope RR doesn't end up being one of them.

Mates, how early before the match is it best to arrive at San Siro?

Depends how much of the atmosphere you want to experience.

If you are worried how long does it take to get in....dont,

there are numerous entrances 15 min before is sufficient.

should switch to 4-3-3 with Silva- Kalinic- Suso up top if we concede a goal and have 45mins or less left. We are not lethal enough in 3-5-2 yet

Yes, Conti theoretically would've done a lot of this. However Suso and he hadn't worked well in the couple of matches they played together.

But there was a good chance it could have eventually gone well. Even without Suso's involvement, Conti just consistently gains space like no other player. He's a big loss.

I think montella said in the last interview that 3-5-2 is our formation now.

Totally :thumbsup:

Just hope Hakan doesn't get choked out again....other than that I hope he'll find Silva and Kalinho. This is also a big game for Biglia.
