This will be very tough. First decent team we have played this season. If GP doesn't get his formation and team selection correct it will be a defeat for sure.

Don't worry boys.
The system can only be defeated by a vastly superior team.
2:1 for us
A draw if inter gets lucky.

Wasn't exactly scared shitless by the Inter I saw 35 minutes of earlier tonight.

Perfectly winnable this derby if we rise to the occasion.

Or this 4-1-4-1?



I don't dig the 4-1-4-1, but I've been hoping for a 4-2-3-1 since last year so we'll see. I'd love it if it happened though, I feel its the correct formation for us right now

The inclusion of Lukaku and a 3rd CB at the expense of Perisic and Politano has taken away their ability to outrun teams.
In fact they got overrun by Slavia last night. I don't think they can press the shit out of our back-four the way they've done in the last derbies.
The Rino-Spalleti derbies were unusual in that Inter were the dominating team.
I would expect that to end with this 352 Inter side, but Giampaolo has managed to make Milan more lethargic than ever.

Now I'm expecting an unusually ugly, hard-to-watch Milano derby, and we've had a fair share of those in the last decade.

Yesterdays issues make me think it even likelier that they’ll repeat the lineup against Udinese, with Politano instead of Lautaro.

What about 4231 for this one? Rebic and Suso out wide, Paqueta or Hakan in the 10 role.

“Slavia Prague certainly played in a very European way, aggressive and with intensity,” Conte told Sky Sport Italia.

“We didn’t do well to find solutions and get around that. In other games, we were up against sides who sat back and waited for us, whereas Slavia attacked us. We struggled and to be honest, I am not satisfied with the performance

Yup, Slavia's performance yesterday should be a good sign for Giampaolo. Dominate the midfield, attack swiftly.

This should always be plan A in the derby.

Press and hunt for the ball like a wild animal. Give 100% intensity and show no mercy, ATTACCAREEE!!!!

Dont underestimate that Prague team. Theyre better than us in physicality movements and attacking phase

cant wait for suso to do everything in attack and lose possession 30 times while crossing and shooting from his right side

Everybody is better than us.

I love our trademark move, we make every team look like prime barca.

I know this is the right way to play and how Giampaolo wants us to play, I just feel like we're not ready for it yet. Really hope i'm wrong...

Yes, I also feel we aren't ready yet to play this way. It has to happen eventually and I hope it's this weekend.

Would recommend everyone to check out the Boban interview in the Milan app. Bello

How great is that app btw.

I've queued up the Boban interview, Serginho interview and everything else in the app to watch as soon as I get home after work today. The app is brilliant.

Classic Inter stumbling into the derby and then playing the match of their lives against Milan. I’ve seen this before.

This is the game to turn on the engines. I don't care if Merda aren't playing well either, Derbies are different.

If we don't turn on the jets this game, we'll be roadkill. Players need to show the desire to win, need to move with and off the ball. No more of that stagnant walking around bullshit, hiding behind their defenders.

The best preparation for this game would be to make the squad watch Inter's game against Sparta Prague.

I feel like the clubs media presence has improved so much just this season. Now just need them to hire a decent Italian translator.

It was really nice to hear Serginho talk about the derby, about how he'd go from giving 100% to 150% mentally in a derby, hope the players get that. Plus pressure from Boban saying it's a 50-50, we shouldn't come in as underdogs.

Agreed, we have to stop this loser mentality, only then will we start getting back to the Milan of old.
