FORWARDS
Maldini.
This will show if Ibra needs to be on the field to have an effect on the squad, or if they've learned something by having him around this last month.
Agreed, and it's quite interchangeable with a 4-4-2, just a case of Jack's position on the pitch. Can also easily defend then in a 4-5-1 and we have a great deal of pace in attack.
Behind Maldini in the pecking order it seems.No Luan Capanni in the squad? He injured?
This might revolt the armchair tacticians in here, but I'd like to see us continue with the 4-4-2 with Rebic and Leao up top. Both players are in stellar form and have been unable to start together because of Ibra. That should be the case but now that Ibra isnt playing they should complement each other nicely because they're in such a flow.
Hakan LM and Kessie-Krunic CM. It might work.
Hopefully we win by a Maldini goal tomorrow. I want to see daddys reaction.

Really curious to see Pioli's first XI tomorrow.I would like to stick with the 4-4-2 too. But we need goals from Leao, and he's depending way too much on a wide starting point. He needs to make serious improvements for this to work.
The 4-2-3-1 that brki is suggesting looks extremely lopsided. 5 players whose natural tendency is to push towards the top left corner area(Hakan, Bona, Leao, Rebic, Theo). That's half of the outfielders. A recipe for a clusterfuck.

CENTROCAMPISTI
Bonaventura, Brescianini, Çalhanoğlu, Kessie, Paquetà, Saelemaekers.
Without a genuine CF the best way to play imo would be to have Rebic play code to Leao centrally. Let them combine both short and try to play each other I behind.
I’d keep Hakan at LM drifting centrally. The main problem is at CM where we may well have to play Paqueta. Depending on how things go we might have to put Rebic wide and look a bit more 4141. Kessie needs to play an immense game tomorrow.
All of those players are going to play in the 4-4-2 as well.
