If some of you want to buy tickets for neutral seats it is 70-90 Euro because they are only sold in packages for now, so its 70-90 for 3 games, match day tickets might be available but only short term and there is no guarantee.

More info on how to buy them:

anyone knows how to get tickets for the guest sector? are they probably only available on match day at the stadium?

so far I've only seen the 3-game packages for the home games of each team, but I don't need that
I'd only go for this one game because I want to see Milan and vienna is not that far away for me

Go to acmilan.com website, they place information how to buy tickets online, but they usually put the information 1 week prior to the game.

Yes please.

With Bonucci being at his best in a 3 man defence. IT just makes much more sense to do it.

Ideal formation for me:

Kalinic/Silva-Suso
RR-Bona/Hakan-Biglia-Kessie-Abate/Conti(depending if Conti is fit or not)
Romag-Bonucci-Musac
Dollar

Play to win from the first half so we rest our players.

let's do it!

:lol:
I'd actually be ok with him starting against these scrubs. Better not to risk Bonaventura and Hakan for the league games when it counts. Austrian league is probably Borini's level anyway. He'll feel right at home

:( :D

i don't think he's gonna start (if more injuries doesn't happen), especially if we're playing 3 at the back like it's rumored.

I'd rather have Suso up front behind Kalinic or Andre Silva, and in forward movements whoever plays LCM (Hakan/Bonaventura) moves up to be in the same line as Suso, so it becomes a 3241. Too many players were making the same movements last game (Biglia/Montolivo). Moving Biglia away from Bonucci would help also.

One of the (many) problems at Lazio was that the high line and our fullbacks being so aggressive positionally meant Bonucci/Musacchio had to cover so much space and Immobile was excellent at attacking that space.

A simple 3 man back line will solve many of our issues and give Bonucci more protection to look for space to receive the ball deep and not have to rush his passes.

Obviously its better for Conti and RR also.

I'm glad we're finally making the switch but it was inevitable. Suso will do fine as a right sided SS, I don't think he'll play in the Kessie role like GDS is suggesting.

Cutrone had a nice spell but he was never going to be a serious option at CF at this level. It was odd seeing Montella persist in choosing him, even if he did score some goals. He's a good option to have but he's third in line.

Calabria i've always thought was not good enough at this level. He's still making serious mistakes. I would have liked to see him loaned out but he should be a final backup behind Abate/Antonelli, not a vice Conti. He's just really bad. Seeing Bonaventura get frustrated at him showed that the players think this also.
