Week 26: Milan - Sassuolo 02/03/2018 18:00

Hitchens · 27-02-2019, 15:20

We need to win this.

Probable XI:

Donnarumma
Calabria - Musacchio - Romagnoli - Rodriguez
Kessie - Bakayoko - Paqueta
Castillejo - Piatek - Calhanoglu

Depending on Kessies form we might see him rested with Bakayoko taking his place. Biglia will likely be ready for this one and Gattuso loves him so wouldn't be surprised to see him start at regista.

Suso might play regardless of his last performance and general form. Gattuso has a way of doing these things. It's a bit frustrating but after all Rino is doing a great job so far.

How's Romagnoli doing on yellow cards? Would be awful if he somehow managed to get suspended for the derby.

Forza!

I think we'll see Conti again, but besides that same as your 11.

They're missing Duncan which is a big blow for them. We need to score early and calm the nerves. Want the crowd on our side, not getting the players nervous if we're not winning by the 60th minute.

i dont like this probabile XI

Why not play Conti? I can't think of any reasons. Calabria has had impressive offensive displays but they're not guaranteed. Conti is just plain dangerous.

I like the new Calabria-Laxalt and Conti-Rodriguez combo, with the latter being the stronger one. Reminds me of Stam-Serginho and Cafu-Pancaro.

Duncan out for Sassuolo is certainly a positive for us. We have no major injuries and have a point to prove offensively after the Lazio game.

60 000 expected at San Siro(!).

Don't let us down boys.

I don’t think gattuso will bench suso

mrki · 27-02-2019, 16:21

Conti, Samu, Biglia for first 11.

Rest kessie, calabria. Suso bench.

Rr, capitano, mussa, conti, baka, biglia, paq, samu, worst no.10 ever, piatek

maybe a sub in the 70th minute

Donato · 27-02-2019, 20:36

Samu and Conti must start this after their great performance on the right side against Empoli. Conti needs more starts and Castillejo has earnt his spot for the time being with Suso doing fuck all lately. Let’s keep the momentum going infront of a packed San Siro!

Agree.

Donnarumma
Conti-Musacchio-Romagnoli-Rodriguez
Kessie-Bakayoko-Paqueta
Samu-Piatek-Hakan

Pretty easy lineup, only issues are Kessie and Bakayoko's health going into this one after a rough match against Lazio.

You're totally right and let's hope so. Ready for some Conti momentum.

Win or seppuku

milanista_ · 28-02-2019, 07:50

I am a little bit worried about this game tbh. We have some tired players after a middle week game and we also struggle against Saussolo.

Laxalt for Hakan and let’s win this.

necromancer · 28-02-2019, 08:45

Good chance to give Biglia a start, move Bakayoko to the right and rest Kessie.

The wingers pick themselves. Hakan and Samu ahead while RicRod and Conti behind.

On the contrary, it makes sense to have a physical opponent in front of Sensi. So maybe Bakayoko still in the center and Biglia can start against Chievo.

brk · 28-02-2019, 09:43

I think both Biglia and Bakayoko can handle Sensi, especially without Duncan around. I think it's too early to start Biglia, but expect him to come on earlier than he has last two games.

Definitely expect Conti and Samu to start this one too. Whenever we have two games in a week it seems like Gattuso likes to rotate his exterior players.

We need to get back to playing once a week. This team can't handle playing more than that (yet).

Neruda · 28-02-2019, 09:49

fun fact : last game vs sassaulo biglia started , higuain was out , samu false 9

milan won 4 -1

This team needs to prove to themselves that they are able to deliver a top season. We're still reaching for real quality, and I think many of the players think it's just a question of time before the first failure comes, and that it will multiply from there. They hope not, but they fear it which is natural after it happening six years in a row. We need to continue building confidence, three points at a time.
