Since changing to a 4-3-3 we've got a draw at Torino and 3 consecutive victories with a notable away win to Lazio.

Our leading assist man this season Jack will be suspended. Bertolacci looks like he's pulled his hamstring - minimum 2-3 weeks out. Alex and Montolivo's conditions are still unknown, we don't know if they can recover in time for this game.

I don't know if Miha should go for a 4-4-2 or a 4-3-3 this game but we will have Bacca, LA and Niang available for this one. I don't know if we should change formation because of Jack, Berto and Monto's probable absences.

Assuming Monto is also out, I'd play:

Gigi; Calabria, Mexes, Romagnoli, Antonelli; Kucka, De Jong, Poli; Cerci, Bacca, Niang [Suso]

Our squad is pretty thin at the moment with all the injuries, hopefully Montolivo can recover in time, he's been very important.

Two things are a must:

- We shouldn't change the formation, the squad players should be able to adapt. I fear it would ruin what little team cohesion we have managed to pull of in these 4 games.

- Under no circumstance we should loose to the little nerazuri shits.

Unleash the Niang.! Totally hyped for his return after his good performances in the pre season friendlies.

Pity with all those injuries, but we have been good team at home. 4 wins and a loss (napoli). So we should win this match.

Just realised our whole midfield creativity is out.We need Monto back if want to win easily, otherwise we would be push way forward all the time hoping to get something from pressing alot.I see Kujka going alot forward than usual in this one.
Time to give Suso a try in the mid ? His passing maybe useful here.

the only reason we conceded versus Lazio was cause Montolivo was out injured getting treated... he continued the game but it seemed like he was hurt. Hopefully there's nothing wrong.

by that time where he got injured we had used up all our 3 subs... anyways he's been tweeting today and no mention of any muscle fatigue or injury by him or the club :thumbsup:

we haven't heard anything about Bertolacci or Alex though :(

Yes Montolivo played injured the last 10-15 minutes. He pulled his harmstring and Mihajlovic had No substitutions left. So it was either to continue or play with ten men, Monto chose to continue although he could barely run.

I reckon he will Miss the atalanta game. But will certainly be back for juventus. Lets see what the reports say in the coming days. Maybe it was just something minor.

Those are 5 winable games from 6.That's 30 points if done correctly.I have a feeling if our starting 11 is fit we should be aggregating 27-29 points from that.As far as Juve are concerned , alot depends on our form till then and a performance like yesterday , I would be optimistic about it.

It will most likely be Niang for Bona i'm guessing. Not sure he's going to drop DeS, so besides that it will probably be the 11 you mentioned.

honda needs to come on for cerci at some point thats why. TBH we should start mauri. And coronte game isnt a league game haha

Atalanta will be hard, lets not expect a easy 3-0. We will miss monto and bona, arguably our 2 most influential players

Madonnarumma
Calabria - Alex - Romagnoli - Antonelli

de jong adds negativity while poli is just a number one in a factor

we have no one good to replace montolivo, so it has to be de flop

People really need to hate someone...poli is useless, but he play very rarely, so what is the problem?
