No matter how you look at it you can’t start with borini at cm and castillejo ss.. that’s asking for a loss.
Udinese away has always been one of our hardest opponents... looking at that potential line-up, i am expecting a draw at best.

You can't take away a pillar from a building :o

I’ve got such a bad feeling about this and that’s sad really.

Please start Leao over Castillejo, I can’t stand to watch Noodle hurt Piateks game anymore.

Giampaolo will definitely start leao over samu. He wont be that stupid to keep experimenting piatek-samu after this preseason

Leao had a knock. The question is whether he’d recover full fitness or not.

We have 38 finals and it all starts here. 4th place and CL football is crucial for our development.

Forza Milan!

The coach says they havent been integrated into the system well enough as yet.

Only real injury is Theo.

which means we've had a shitty preparation

as usual

Maybe Bonaventura or Suso as SS and the other as TQ? Samu is just shit

That in case Leao is hurt

Rumoured line-up:

Donnarumma
Calabria - Musacchio - Romagnoli - Rodriguez
Borini - Biglia - Calhanoglu
Suso
Castillejo - Piatek

Gross.. no balls... no character from Giampaolo if he runs this stock shit, last years lineup basically. just get the new guys involved or at least sub out some of that dead weight early in the game.


Hey on a side note, aren't you all glad we ended up selling Cutrone and keeping Silva and Castillejo to play as starter and sub in our 1st match of the season!!???!! :fp: what a joke

guys, do you think paqueta will do well as an SS?

I think he played some games as ss for Flamengo. When he was bought it was reported that he could play as a number 8, 10 and SS iirc

Hope I'm wrong, but I feel we will draw this one or maybe win 1-0 from a Suso wonder goal/assist

I'd do as well, but he looks far from motivated. His head is in another place.

We are trying to get rid of him and he has no suitors anymore. I think he will be foucsed and raring to go tbvh either to impress Milan management or try to get another club to want him

Deffo feel Giampaolo will start Noodle over him though

Lets hope its Leao even with less understanding of our gamestyle he'd still do better with his far superior attributes

Our current lineup would actually do Decent against more open teams but if Udinese close shop which is quite likely we will find it tough to create.

Hope Suso Biglia and Hakan have their shooting boots on!

I think we'll be awesome this game, with the midfield continuing their improvement. We'll probably win it 2-0 with a couple of Piatek goals.

The only reason why i am somewhat hopeful for a win is Hitchens opened the match-thread

Can't wait for us to beat Udinese, De Paul to look absolute trash, and Soldier_of_god still cry about him and how he's perfect for Milan.
