cala bon roma RR

kessie monto loca

borini kalinic hakan


underestimating an opponent is not about the line up but the mentality, this should be strong enough to beat them.

+ we have a very tough schedule coming up so rotating is a must.

no insta stars pls.

We pass this, get an easy opponent for next round as well, some favourites get knocked out along the way, and our dream starts in quarterfinals

Rino will play first 11, with Calabria and Silva. So that they get good result and can mix in the home game. Milannews

Gattuso has tested Cutrone as the striker with Calhanoglu and Borini in today's lineup, though Andre Silva starting against Ludogorets remain a possibility. Calabria and Ricardo Rodriguez the favourites for the right and left back roles respectively

I checked their form, and its not as though the are dominating that league, losses draws etc
Itll be good to win and win well, I do think Silva should continue, as he has goals in this comp, and itll help us if we really don't want to keep him.

Also, I think that resting players is a good idea, as gattuso might have everyone working hard and in a good mind set.

Its a game we should win, with players rested, Suso etc.

Plus its a good sign to give the team fringe players chances, builds unity and will be great to have a squad that can rotate and really help us push for the best finish we can this season.
Hopefully we keep up the hard work, and can play a strong team game.


Forza milan

I don't know much about this club .. but one thing I clearly remember is when they faced Arsenal in Group A UEFA CL 2016-2017 they were strong at their home but when they came to Emirates Stadium they were like jelly that very easy to destroy by The Gunners. first 30 mins was cool.. but after that Alexis, Walcott, Chamberlain and of course Ozil like crazy killed them with beautiful goals from hattrick ..
So beware at their home .. and probably we can be a little more relax at San Siro. just my 2 cents though ..

I've watched them many times including all of their european games. We should not underestimate them. They're not a fodder club. They've had some great UCL and EL matches against very strong opponents - PSG, Arsenal, Real Madrid, Liverpool, Basel, etc. They knocked out Lazio a few years ago in LE after scoring 4 goals in 2 matches and a win in Rome. They also had some major fuck ups against teams I've never heard of.

Anyway, it will not be an easy task, believe me. They're no Seria B side. They could easily be Genoa/Torino/Cagliari level if they were playing in Italy. We know that all these teams can surprise it with great performances and wins.

I am waiting for the predicted line-ups and will give more info about them. Apparently, they have some problems with the starting 11, as 2 of their best players are banned, while their starting GK is out due to a long-term injury.

Like Rino said, Ludogorets have been in Europe for years now. Don’t underestimate them, we’re not in position to underestimate anyone tbh. Go through, get lucky in the next draw and our campaign starts in the quarterfinals...

No Loca? Rested for Sampdoria as Kessie is suspended? Probably not but he was in last training session ...

Killing them from the first leg. I like.

Now that the shit football is out of the way, let's get ready for Europe's real premier competition.

A team even Ceausescu couldn't defeat, a team that stands defiant against the horrors of Stalinism, Ludogorets Bucharest shall be defeated tomorrow.

Where are they actually from?
