SPAL playing without Petagna and their centre-back Felipe, it seems.

Interesting line-up but good since it's Coppa. I am very interested today in:

- How does Rebic play for us as SS? His showing as a winger were woeful.
- Can Samu repeat his great display again?
- Piatek gets a start and needs to score. Can he make it count?
- Krunic in a 442, how will he do? Has been hit or miss so far taking Kessie's role in 433.

Agreed. Also how Kjaer looks and if Jack can do anything useful.

:thumbsup: It's Kjaer's first game after only just joining so I won't have any expectation from him for today.

Nice.

I'm liking the formation.

Sadly, I won't be able to watch it.

Will have to watch later tonight.

If you've seen Atalanta and Roma play then you should know that 4th unfortunately is out of the question.


Zaniolo is out for the rest of the season.

Oh, I'm also hoping Big Bro Antonio can pull another stunning match. His one versus Inter in the Coppa two years ago in 120 min was great.

Kjaer already considered a first-teamer?



By my last assessment, there were 752 CBs in top flight football who were better than Musacchio. Kjaer happens to be one of them even if he’s at 40% of his 2010 level, which was the last time I saw him play.

Our management only buys starters not bench warmers.
Kjaer is a professional that is paid to play not to fortnite.

Thanks Necro. :fp:

Now we're going to see Kjaer at fault for a brainfart goal, then concede a penalty, and finally get sent off all within the first half.

I'm sad. BT Sport 3 is showing a video before the match just now, of the Milan - Juve CL final at Old Trafford. Those were the days, having one of greatest, if not the best, squads in the world at the time.

It's also funny, because it's focusing on ADP and Juve fans thinking they had it won before it started hahaha

No Suso for the 2nd match in a row

I can't get used to this feeling

I really don't like 442. I'd rather play a 4231, I fear we lose presence in midfield.

If we can maintain possession, sure. Why not. Or if we played a 442 like Capello with 2 strong CMs, but we don't have the flare wingers for that to work.

Good start.
