We need Kucka healthy for this one and maybe Abate to physically abuse Insigne. Also we need somebody in Jorginho's face the whole game.

Play smart but don't play too reserved. We'll have to close down the spaces well and we will definitely have less of the ball, but conceding too much of the game can be a problem.

I don't think this team is quite ready to defend like that for the entirety of the game. We've improved our defense so much, and with bacca all you need is one chance, but I'm still wary of that. This team could still have a costly error. We'll need to take the game to them a little bit. Choose certain times to press them and create enough chances to make them think twice about pushing everything forward. If we let them do that, I doubt the team can survive a full game siege.

Luckily, I trust Miha to be confident enough not to go that route. And the players are much more confident too. They won't play scared, it should be a good game. I think we'll win, it's in my gut

Probably the best time to play against Napoli, they had a tittle clash last week and then travel to Spain on Thursday. They physical and mental drain from the two intense matches could be overpowering and that represents the opportunity. If we play like we have played against the big teams this season after the last Napoli game, we could manage a win because of the circumstances and atleast a draw.
The play high press, quick tempo passing game that would work against this side and we might just win this.
I hope we play this

Donna

Abate (I don't know when he is back) - Alex - Romagnoli - Antonelli
Honda - Montolivo - Kujka(I think he is supposed to back for this) - Bonaventura
Niang - Bacca

I think Bacca should be the man that takes on Koulabaliy while Niang takes on Albiol.

There's a good chance of getting at least one point from this game as long as we park the bus.

We will need Adriano for this game.

Especially to take on Koulibaly and open up space for Bacca to exploit.

Lawl, easy game for Napoli. 4-0 at least. Higuain to terrorize again.
And this coming from a Milan fan.

Kuco most probable still out for this game. Maybe after the Napoli game he'll start to train with the team again if you believe what MN reports

we need an energetic player in the midfield, not having kucka would really hurt us.

Only changes compared to the Genoa game I'd make are Abate&Kuco in if they can make it

All of the newly found optimism is weird in this forum
You guys remember that napoli currently 13 points clear ahead of us
That alone speaks volume about our difference in quality atm

That's fine. That doesn't mean we are going to fold and give up before kick off.

Whilst we aren't the favourites, I expect this Milan side to cause serious problems. I don't know if it is best for us to concede possession and make two rows of 4 in the final third or to just hold the ball. This is why I trust Mihajlovic to set up the team the right way. This team is capable of upsetting anybody.

I dont think they will need us.
A good fight is all I ask.
Roma to experiment his big dick facing good attackers.
