When are capitano and Mussa back guys??? Tnx
Probable Milan Xl vs. Parma (4-3-3):
Donnarumma; Calabria, Zapata, Abate, RR; Kessie, Mauri, Bakayoko; Suso, Cutrone, Calhanoglu. [Sky]
Jose Mauri has played 6 Serie A games for Milan since 2015...
I doubt he's suddenly going to explode.
This is a gamble by Gattuso. I don't feel good about him playing. There are reasons why he has played so little. He is not good enough. Some great minutes against a farmer team Dudelange don't change my mind about him. Same for Stefan Simic. People start hyping these fooders because of a good game against Dudelange.

Not sure about the 4-3-3, I feel like our results have turned since ditching that formation. However, I’m pretty sure in the long run, 4-3-3 will be our formation. Can’t be signing 2/3 midfielders in January and playing only two midfielders in a 4-4-2.
Cutrone really struggles being the focal point, I hope we score early in this one otherwise I feel he tends to struggle and tries too hard.
Yes the 442 is effective but less ""pretty" than the 433 but like you said I see Gattuso wanting us to play more like the 433 with Biglia where we played some really attractive football. The 442 is more dictated by circumstances more than anything else.
In this game I would prefer a 442 without Mauri, and with Samu up front with Cutrone but I guess that can happen later in the game. I still think Samu can contribute a lot as his link-up play is decent and he can switch positions with Suso throughout the game to keep opponents guessing.
i have feeling that this line up will be failure
with all these injuries (in defence after all) i think that 343 is the most stabile formation or at least 442 with samu and hakan.
Agree 100% on everything here. I would’ve loved to see Samu start this game, however I do see something in Mauri. Not sure he is exactly Milan quality but there is something there, I wouldn’t mind giving him a start to see how he goes.
Parma Coach Roberto D’Aversa believes he can predict how Gennaro Gattuso and Milan will approach today’s game, as they are former lunch buddies.
It kicks off at 11.30 GMT, click here for a match preview.
“It’s very pleasing to be back at San Siro, as I spent six years at Milan,” said D’Aversa in his Press conference.
