Week 3: Milan - Spezia 04/10/2020 18:00 CET

Az. · Oct 4, 2020

Three points day!

fray · Oct 4, 2020

This will be our 6th game in 17 days. I expect a cagey game. We'll probably take all 3 points, but it won't be easy as one would normally expect with a newly promoted side at home.

vB9 · Oct 4, 2020

I had hoped Ibra wud be on the bench.

Mr. Milanista · Oct 4, 2020

5 hours to go brothers. May there be 3 points

Qaas · Oct 4, 2020

Not until after the break it seems.

If Pioli didnt completely missed our lineup and approach vs 3 classes belov us team Rio Ave naybe we would not be on the pitch 150mins and play 2nd team today. Butbit is how it is now.

Lets see Tonali, Diaz, Leao, Colombo... probably we will see Hauge also.

Forza ragazzi! 3 points as we expect Lord and Rebic to come back + mercato news.

Please share with us the lineup you would've started with against Rio Ave, mrki.
And the approach.

Pingu · Oct 4, 2020

I think the lineup today is fine. A great test vs Spezia at home as I said before for some rotation players to step up. Specially the 2-man mid of Tonali and Krunic. And realistically it's not often we'll see those two play together. Mostly I'd think only one of Kessie/Ben would start on the bench at a time.

But Paolo said Ibra wud be out for 7 days. Its been way longer : (

Pingu · Oct 4, 2020

OFFICIAL Milan XI vs. Spezia:

Donnarumma; Calabria, Kjaer, Gabbia, Theo; Tonali, Krunic; Saelemaekers, Brahim, Leao; Colombo

Grazie Pioli for benching Samu and playing Saele where he shines + Leao LW.

vB9 · Oct 4, 2020

Tonali, Krunic in the middle isnt confidence installing... Tonali with 1 of Ben/Kessie wudve been nice.

vB9 · Oct 4, 2020

Helga, Diaz... fecking play these players. Are we going to do the same to them as we did with Caldara and see 6mts if they gel with new teammates.

FFS!

vB9 · Oct 4, 2020

Oh, Diaz is playing. Apologies.

Diaz is in the starting line-up....

Hauge has had one training session with the team, he'll still play today.

I like the line-up. As Goodfella said, this will show us if Tonali-Krunic is at all up to the task. I like the choice of the front 4 too.

Bench: Donnarumma A., Tatarusanu, Kalulu, Laxalt, Bennacer, Kessie, Calhanoglu, Castillejo, Hauge, Maldini D.

Also, Pobega starts against us.

Spezia (4-3-3): Rafael; Sala, Erlic, Chabot, Marchizza; Pobega, Ricci, Major; Green, Galabinov, Gyasi.

Available: Krapikas, Desjardinis, Acampora, Mora, Agoume, Bartolomei, Farias, Bastoni, Dell'Orco, Vignali, Agudelo, Piccoli.

I didnt recognise the 1st name :thumbsup:

Pingu · Oct 4, 2020

I like the line-up too. Will be really interesting to see if we actually can work with this though. No Hakan, Kessie, Benny will be something. At least they are on the bench!

Master Smurf · Oct 4, 2020

No rest for Calabria and Theo either - very happy Theo wasnt called up for NT duty (he wasnt am I right?)

Raghav · Oct 4, 2020

Its due to the 5 sub rule that we put out this lineup . I like it . Really hoping Leao impresses and Colombo moves a bit better than previous games coz his shot technique is amazing

Yeah no call up for Theo yet. France have an abundance of LBs. Tbf they have an abundance in every position possible

Pingu · Oct 4, 2020

Hour to go I am so exciteddddddddd

Qaas · Oct 4, 2020

Wait a fckn minute. I didnt even notice krunic in the midfield. who of tonali and krunic is going to make tackles in that midfield?

Let us hope that spezia play defensive football

Yep, those 3 rested while already missing Roma, Ibra and Rebic will be a good assessment of depth.
