Don't know about you guys but I'm already fully focused on this game.

We lead the table by three points and come off a very tough draw against Parma, where Gabbia and Bennacer limped off and we failed to convert enough of our chances.

For this game we are likely to see Kjaer and Ibra return, as well as Leao being a step further in his return to full action. I'm not familiar with Saele's situation, would like to see him back as well as a sub to Samu.

Expected lineup:

Gigio
Calabria - Kjaer - Romagnoli - Theo
Tonali - Kessie
Samu - Hakan - Rebic
Ibra

Genoa are in 19th place.

Pioli said it was possible, if not prepare for another composed Kalulu showing.

Not losing was a big deal, sure, but we should have won. We were so unlucky and we lost Bennacer.

I'm tired of not seeing Ibra + Rebic this season. I'm not sure they played more than 90 minutes together this season. We need them both back up front.

Must-win. Struggling side and we should have Ibra/Kjaer back. No excuse to drop points here with Sassuolo and Lazio afterwards.

I want to (obviously not literally) murder those haters who say such things like "finally some bad luck for Milan" when we're actually in mid december and weren't even able to play once (!) our strongest starting line-up due to constant injuries and Covid while also having already suffered that cursed Verona game or that farce of a Roma game...

... and despite all of that are still leading the table.

Those haters and morons are mostly to be seen on social media, mostly fans of other teams. And they're there basically there mocking us since post lockdown.

"Oh Milan only wins because there are no fans in the stadium."

"Oh Milan is only one injury of Zlatan away from being mediocre."

"Oh Milan is only winning because they are lucky and the refs continue giftig them penalties."

Fuckers. We need to smash that Genoa. Best answer to all those dumb envious cretins there is.

Wouldnt rush Kjaer & i would bet on Kalu again.

Cala.Kalu.Roma.Theo
Kess.Ben
Diaz.Hakan.Hauge
Rebic

Tona if Ben isnt fit.
Dalot instead of Diaz could be an option also.

There is no sin committing mistakes as long as we learn.
So lesson 1 not to start Samu.
Lesson 2 Dont pull a Pep.

Ibra is training with the squad. Do you think he'd accept to rest? :lol:

Good point on Kjaer, I'm comfortable with Kalulu. But if they deem Kjaer ready he will start 100%

Zlatan (?) - if not Leao.

Genoa and Parma are the type of opponents I'd like to see Kalulu against. Kjaer for Sassuolo and Lazio.

Bennacer’s injury looked pretty bad, I don’t expect to see him until at least January.

This match is going to be tricky, but we just have to field the strongest/most healthy squad we can and take this difficult upcoming stretch one match at a time (cliches!)

————-—Rebic
——Hawg-Hakan-Samu
————Kessie-Tonali
Theo-Romagnoli-Kalulu-Calabria

I wouldn’t be surprised if Dalot or Conti (eww) features to give one of the FBs a break in this one. Kjaer and Ibrahimovic need to be protected as long as possible, we can’t risk a prolonged injury rushing them back.

We can afford to play with an attacking full-back pairing of Dalot and Theo against Genoa.

They don't play with wingers like Parma do, so it's all about breaking them down and getting that first goal.
