Seemingly another muscle injury.

So sad for him.

I'm ready for a comfortable 3-0 win tonight. I actually find myself in agreement with the Curva. If we bum out tonight the players might as well start looking for a new profession.

You think the players are going to bounce back from their sorry state to a 3-0 win? I doubt it. Another close match, hopefully another close win.

Some noise that Kessie and Paqueta are switching sides. They'll have an easier time shaping for a shot, but with Paqueta, Conti and Suso on the right side we're not as well protected as we were with Kessie. Will be very interesting to see what Paqueta can do with Suso, although they might step on each others toes, they're both left footed and would want to cut inside.

This switch generally would make sense if you expect Kessie and Paqueta to make more movements centrally rather than wide to support the winger and fullback, and getting into positions to shoot or pass on the run without having to shift the ball outside.

Only if we lose, though. Not if we're dominating and chasing goal(s).

I don’t get the point really if this is true. Will wait for the match.

Paqueta and Hakan is a more potent combination in a 4-3-3 with the buildup, while Suso is best positioned as the free man for the final shot.

Nah, still. A win tonight means shit if we falter again in the next two.

If we dont win convincingly then hasta la vista CL for sure. i just need 40 mins that all I am asking for.I know he came at a time when players were gone but if he cant convince me in two games that he can work with what we have right now then, I will be officially be done with any former Milan player coming close to the club.
Pioli still feels a wrong move as if the club had said just splash the cash on a good couch then i would be all for him staying even in this situation as they would adapt to the club and players and have a plan to follow in the next season. Pioli is not a top couch so I need results now to see that it was a right move.

Hakan is going to score a hattrick tonight and kiss Erdogan's portrait on the pitch.

I like that he’s taking a risk with Leao and conti. Idk if starting with Hakan and Biglia is the best idea but we’ll see

Fuck my life.:fp:
Conti I understand. But the fuck move right stick left and kebab are doing in the line up?
Some body give me the total time these two have played against the new signings. I bet that total time of new signings is less then 200 mins while these two are over 500 together.
