Central defenders don't really have to rest as much as other players. It's totally normal for teams to play with the same central pair all season as long as they're fit.

A reason to rest Kjaer would be to minimize the chance of injury by simply not having him on the pitch, but there's not much value in resting him besides that. I really don't want to imagine our defense without him.

Give Gabbia some minutes ffs.

I think is time for Bennacer-Kessie-Tonali on this midfield. To hell with wingers.

Would not say no to this. We still have seen this trio play at the same time on the field

Who would play regista?

Edit. Id go with bennacer regista

Kessie is doing this job well, Bennacer is spreading the game ahead, Tonali would help him at this. Hakan would get more support and it will be 2 strikers in front of him to work with.

I think it's time to remain with the 4231 that works so well for us instead of change it for no reason.

So your idea is 4-3-3

Kessie-Bennacer(Tonali)-Hakan(Tonali)
Saele-Ibra-Leao

But this will let no space for Brahim. Also we know Kessie-Hakan performed worse in 3 man mid.

Yes. Let's go back to 4312.
Dump an attacker for a 3rd defensive midfielder.
Scratch the high pressure.
Scratch this risky proactive tactics.
Let's go back to the reactive, low risk tactics that worked so well in the last decade.
Pioli out. Enough is enough!

We don't have a say in what formation Pioli will play.
Thankfully, we no longer have an owner who'll fire coaches for not using 4-3-1-2.
RnB posters who advertently or inadvertently want 2012-2017 Milan back deserve to be ridiculed.

I don't mind seeing that either. The team needs to learn more than double pivot systems, although it should stay the primary formation.

My post was mostly directed at Australiano who seems to want Pioli fired because he isn't deploying a low risk low reward 4312. There's probably some bitterness over Paqueta involved as well.

I’m normally so against the EL, but this is such valuable learning experience for our young team. So, I hope we win convincingly.

Rebic needs to start scoring.
