There is no way Pippo will field Van Ginkel and Poli over Essien and Muntari

Poli has always been preferred in the midfield over everyone else bar Monto and De Jong.

Question for me is Van Ginkel vs Essien. Playing Muntari is ludicrous in a 2-man midfield and I'm sure Pippo wont consider that.

Bieber can only get better with more playing time. Remember that he came to Milan after a long injury and still didn't play much. There's no future for Essien.

Wouldn't make any bets mate on what Pippo is going to do, the guy sadly has almost no tactical knowledge.


Hopefully its VG, i want us to have a good CM for once.

That's the tragedy in Milan today, Poli being over someone. Such a shit playa shouldn't be even on the bench.

Ok doesn't mean good. He runs a lot and people start to think that he's doing well but the reality is different, he's shit. Poli is like Nocerino but not from the season wih Ibra.

Reality = your opinion. Okay, I guess?

A bit hard to be spectacular when you have a garbage mid next to you.

Empoli have failed to win 9 of their last 10 away matches in Serie A.

Milan and Empoli haven’t shared a single draw so far at the San Siro – the Rossoneri lead by seven wins to two.

Empoli have won only two of their 19 previous meetings against Milan in Serie A, with 12 wins for the Rossoneri.

The 2-2 fixture was the first time Empoli managed to score more than one goal against Milan.

Milan have won only one of their last seven fixtures.

The Rossoneri have exactly the same points as last season after 22 match-days (29).

Empoli have scored the most goals from set-pieces this season in Serie A (12). In contrast, Milan have already conceded nine goals from set-pieces.

9 from last 13 goals of Milan has been scored from Jeremy Menez.

Step 1: Avoid conceding set-pieces at all costs.

Don't mention avoid and at all costs in one sentence to our defence. At all costs for them is like all in. We will concede so much fk I'm afraid :lol:

not that bad, but still if pippo keeps changing the starting lineup every game, no one will grow to his best form

but if your going to play menez in the centre, and honda on the right side, isn't it better to play with cerci on the right side?

Milan have never lost to Empoli in Serie A.

Although we tried pretty hard to break that duck last time out. Completely out played. in the first haf.

Other thing is... this is an early kick off. 11:30 gmt.
