And why is it on so early? It's a week day!

I don't know why it's so early.

Half the group games are 20 minutes after CL time, half are 1 hour and 45 minutes prior.

Why? To jazz it up of course.

Eh hasn't EL group stage times always been like this? 1900 and 2100.

No spare players on either side. It's going to be a hectic game, as it seems like their wingers aren't the type that stay back all the time so they'll keep challenging Zapata/Romagnoli. We could alternately double up on them and i'm expecting that'll happen often, so we won't see Abate/Antonelli as high up as we'd want from RR/Conti. It'll be a 532 more than a 352 is what i'm saying.

If it was up to me i'd switch to this when attacking:



Abate and Calhanoglu spreading wide and Romagnoli staying back with Bonucci to take care of their attacker and Zapata as a RB.

:eek: What, no Conti & no RR ?!?!?!

Because they know I have to get up at 6am tomorrow. EL planners looking out for me :star:

Rotation has been mentioned multiple times. RR had to play a lot and Conti came off an injury, really no reason to risk it. Abate is perfectly fine cover against Austria and Antonelli, while regressed, is decent enough as long as he doesn't get injured.

Feel free to streak wearing a giant dollar bill, and go ask Gianluigi to unrobe you.

Enjoy the game and good luck indoctrinating, guys.

Im really hoping that 3 ATB works.

A very important sign would be if we are able to score a few from actual open play.

I think a LOT of goals so far have come from free kicks or other dead ball situations.

Can't wait to see our performance with new formation :o Too bad Conti and RR wont play, as this would be best for them, but i understand we need to rotate alot now

I'm conflicted on who to follow :monto:


RnB Banner + Dollar bill streaking sounds like a good compromise to me
