And we have 6 days to recover and prepare that game. What a luxury!

Hakan is back or we just expect him to be back? Id say there is 10% chance he starts next game. If he has 30min in his legs thats good. He just had covid.

Milan - Crotone was initially set to be played on Friday Feb 5, but for some reason we managed to move it to the 7th.

Inter, who play Juve on Feb 2 and then Fiorentina on Feb 5, asked FIGC to move their Friday game by a day or two, but their proposal was rejected.

We must remember that covid effects individuals differently, so if Theo or krunic perform a bit jaded, post covid fatigue could be a factor. Hakan has been training at home and at Milano over the weekend while his team mates traveled to Bologna so that’s encouraging.

There is an article of pogba suffering of exhaustion for weeks even after turning negative again. It’s nasty this covid stuff...

Here’s the article:

I don't think Theo got covid.

Crotone at home, literally the easiest fixture out of the 38. No stress for 2 more weeks :)

Edit, they are currently losing 0-3 to Genoa at home and one of their few decent players, Messias is suspended due to a yellow card.

Their best player (by far) Junior Messias just got suspended and won't play.

This match comes at a perfect time for us.. I hope we wrap up the 3 points early on and use the luxury to bring our best players into top shape to make a new push for the end of the season. These next couple of months will be crucial for us and we will need all our best players in top form.

There's a whole week to work for this game and recover the injured players and get them back into the team (and into form).

This team don't need a results turn around because points are still coming but it does need a performance turn around... I really expect a more assertive team now, with more of the ball and capable of creating more.

Basically the team we used to see until november. That team is there with key players returning.

They will park 10 players behind the ball... these type of games get stressful if we aren?t leading by half time. We need our more creative players with good footwork to navigate a crowded final third... Diaz would?ve been useful here.

Its great to have two easy games coming up preparing up to a batch of packed games that include Inter , Roma & two eu games back to back.
Then we will have Napoli after o week rest wh8ch is hood.

Its a good schedual for us if we played it smart & rested our starters in eu games.
The coming six week will decide our title chances.

Perfect game for Zlatan. He'll draw alot of attention to himself, create space and will be an aerial threat to them. I'm glad we have someone like Zlatan in these games. Rebic as well with his unpredictability will cause alot of confusion against them

If they park the bus, last minutes mandz-ibra is the answer.

I want a 4-0, 6-1 type of scoreline. I'm fine skating by with marginal wins, but I want to make a real statement scoreline

Calabria is on 4 yellows so ideally he takes a yellow here and misses the Spezia game.

Plus, it will be nice to actually enjoy a game for the full 90 again. I want to see us chase for goals :proud:
