Can we try a 4 men defense in this shitty game plz? :conf:

Also, perfect game to give Montella's personal enemies Paletta, Antonelli and others a chance.

We already secured first place in the group, so it would be unnecessary to risk starters.....I expect to see the youngsters get some game time

I've been a full advocate of 3-5-2 early this season, but its clearly not working out for us. Part of it was on Montella, but part of is our players simply don't "get it".

We should play the first team here, not reserves though. They need a practice game, in a 4-5-1/4-4-2

I would personally prefer a 4-4-2 like this:

---------------------------Cutrone-------------------------
--------------------Silva-------------------------------------
----Borrini------Kessie---------Locatelli---------------------Suso--------
-----------------------whatever combination of fodders-------
-------------------------------$$$$$----

Antonelli is back

Probable XI vs. Rijeka (3-4-1-2): Donnarumma; Zapata, Musacchio/Gustavo Gomez, Romagnoli; Calabria, Biglia, Locatelli, Antonelli; Bonaventura/Suso; André Silva, Cutrone [MilanNews].

As long as Locatelli plays, I'll be happy. Montolivo is a waste of space and Biglia seems to suffer from health issues I suppose. Time to make a new Milan legend.

I know this is a dead rubber but why so many players left at home? Yes, this is a chance for some of the youngsters & those who don't get to play much but ... the team can't gel as quickly if the coaches keep shuffling the pack! Even if our usual starters could just come & be part of team bonding etc, better than not calling them up at all!

It´s a difference to have players with half a week or a week of rest in the next league game, I never understood why Montella got so much shit for that.

Tough December schedule and form issues. Key players can't rest in other games of the season.
