MB, forget about enjoying your beer in this match
Most important match of the season thus far..
It is a real tactical choice.. Should we play freely the way other big teams played at Bergamo, and risk conceding? If we open up as we did against Cagliari last night, I can guarantee it will be at least a 2-2 game if not higher scores.
Or should be clam up with minimal space between Piatek and Romagnoli and go for a 1-0?
I think the choice is obvious and knowing Gattuso we will definitely be played a deeper block than usual and Suso/Calha will be tracking their wingbacks rather than stretching the back three. Our back four need to stay as narrow as possible. Expecting Paqueta to play an important role (along with Kessie) as our way out of being so deep. We’ll probably depend on them getting freekicks to move us up the field. We won’t be trying to dominate possession with aggressive positioning I’m sure of that.
It will be Prime Grintuso.

No way we win this.
different opinions here some say park the bus, some say dont park the bus
toughest game of the season vs a very good team. We can beat them but it is certainly going to be a tough matchup. Atalanta are a top quality side and are capable of beating any team at their best.
