No hakan for this game and napoli will be fitter than us.

We have a chance but this is a bonus game for me, the genoa game being postponed fucked us as we dont get the chance to start with a win and gain momentum

Not expecting much, hopeful of a result.

Win!!

Calabria - Musa - R13 - RR
Kessie - Biglia - Bakayoko
Suso - Higuain - Jack

That's gonna be the team most probably. Unless Laxalt or Samu impress and take the LW spot and push Bakayoko to the bench.

Fuck Calcio A and their postponement. They could have simply held a minute of silence, postponing the game is ridiculous.

This sucks. Not only will we be missing Calhanoglu, but Napoli will already be in the competitive zone while we might still be in pre-season form by the time the match is played.

If Lazio beats Napoli and then we beat Napoli, then Napoli could be pushed away from top 4 early on as panic mode sets in

Napoli has been beaten left and right during the pre season... We have to win this match as the next one is against lazio (imo tougher)

Is Caldara injured?

This shouldn’t be an excuse!

No.

He just thinks Musacchio is a good defender and he might play the first games due to better chemistry with Romagnoli. And maybe he's right.

That, and I'm predicting Rino's move.

I think Caldara will have to work his way into the team, and if he is as good as everyone's saying he should be able to bench Musa in less than a month.

Sucks that we have to wait an extra week until we get to see Gonzalo start his conquest of Serie A.

A serious defense with Musacchio as a starter is hard to visualize. I’ll wait and watch what Rino does.

Only small changes in formation will be seen in this game. Musa will probably start from the first minute to play with Romagnoli in defense. News said that Bakayoko could play against Genoa (before the game is postponed), therefore we might see Bakayoko's name on the starting eleven. Playing Bakayoko should also help our defense since the CB-pair is new and definitely needs time to settle. Bona will subtitute Hakan to play in left wing.

Hopefully Higuain will be decisive. I don't mind if he only scores 1 goal if it is the winning goal. :D

Gattuso is taking the safe and dumb approach with Musa in the first 11. He hasn't played consistently enough last season to merit a place in the team first sheet.

Caldara while new to the club was fundamental to a Atalanta team who only finished 4 points behind us.

He is much more reliable in defence, and is a goal scoring threat as well.

What makes you think Gattuso is starting Musa? I think the chances are that Caldara will start, with a minor possibility of Musa starting.

Musacchio will start this 4sho

If he continues doing well I can see him keeping Caldara out of the 11 for the first 3-4 games or so
