Week 25: Fiorentina - Milan 22/2/20 20.45 CET

joyrider · Feb 19, 2020

We need to continue the momentum.
Fiorentina is in great form, so we can't underestimate them.
We need focus and sacrifice.

joyrider · Feb 19, 2020

MRI confirmed a muscular injury in the left thigh for Kjaer

Calhanoglu, Musacchio and Kjaer worked individually on the field

Saelemaekers sustained a contusive knock to his left ankle. Medical checks tomorrow

The squad is thinned but we can win.

Hitchens · Feb 19, 2020

Tough game but totally winnable. Ibra back to scoring ways and Samu too.

Savo · Feb 20, 2020

Definitely will be tough, this game can very well define the rest of the season for us. We're a little thin and banged up but if we come with the right aggression and stoutness in defense we can win it away from home which would be a big confidence booster going into the final stages of the season.

Pingu · Feb 20, 2020

3-1 reverse sweep them please.

Tobinho · Feb 20, 2020

Musacchio might make it back, otherwise Gabbia will start. It's looking like Hakan will make it.

Probably looking at this:

--------------------Ibra
Rebic------------Hakan--------------Samu
----------Bennacer---Kessie
Theo---Romagnoli---Gabbia-------Calabria
-----------------Donna

With a very thin bench indeed; Laxalt, Conti, Jack, Paqueta and Leao might be the only senior outfield players on it. :eek:

fray · Feb 20, 2020

Hakan fully recovered or not? Fiorentina's kryptonite.

Hitchens · Feb 21, 2020

No Hakan.

I dont like paq attitude and mental fortitude but this screams paquetas chance.

Should get a 1st min start and do or die.

joyrider · Feb 21, 2020

paqueta is more mobile than jack but Pioli want to rotate.
In this system I think jack will have to shoot from far. Something which he can do.

necromancer · Feb 21, 2020

Bona is a better fit in that role than Paqueta I think. He will probably score.

Bona has been disappointing so far since his injury but he's too good to continue at this level. Sooner or later he will have those 5-6 really good performances.

I think you may be right and that he'll win this game for us.

CDarius · Feb 21, 2020

So we played on monday and now we play on saturday. Couldnt they program us on sunday to ger 1 day more of rest? And on top of that is my sister’s wedding on saturday night so ill miss the game :fp:

It's all about the role. As the off-the-ball fellow playing just behind the main attackers, he's second to none in our squad. Better sense of timing than Paqueta, and better finishing than Paqueta.

If you play him wide in a 4-4-2, he's gonna be crap like he was last month.

Tobinho · Feb 21, 2020

Hakan returned to training with the group and Tutto for one thinks he'll start.

No Hakan.

I've learned by now that the Gazzetta probable formations are extremely unreliable.

truant · Feb 21, 2020

I hope Gabbia starts and stars. Being forced to field him might be a blessing in disguise. It would be nice to have another homegrown hero.

Or improbable?

Raghav · Feb 21, 2020

Jacks attacking positioning and long shooting/finishing can be very useful playing off of Ibra. He’s also more balanced with shooting/dribbling/passing compared to Hakan who leans 80% towards shooting hence easier for defenders to read.. although Hakan does provide much better work rate and defensive cover.

Hope Jack performs if given the chance tomorrow.

Lets go on a looong unbeaten streak lads! I wanna start smelling the champions league again !

i'd like that too but mussachio should start
we are playing in florence, they scored 5 goals last week
not anything to underestimate

True. I think realistically Gabbia would only start if Musacchio is unavailable.

Saelemaekers available?

Lol

milanator · Feb 22, 2020

Bona is a better player than this season`s Paqueta period, the only question is if he has the legs for it. That applies to Paquetà too though, who is gassed after 60min. So we´ll most likely see both.

Tobinho · Feb 22, 2020

That must have been a super-mild ankle sprain. Good news.

dvl19i · Feb 22, 2020

Not a Gabbia game. Thanks.

corona virus has broken out in northern italy close to milano

If true it's fantastic - we need all hands on deck as the squad is super-thin.
