It is time for the QF 1st leg against Roma. A tough set of games, although a winnable set of games. We know them well, and they don't have Serie A refereeing to give into their antics we can hope.

In my opinion, more important to focus on these than the derby/league given Scudetto is all but out of reach, and Top 4 (5 possibly?) should be a lock.

Forza Milan!

Roma have been in form since De Rossi took over. Is there anything of substance or is it the typical new manager bump?

Roma have a good squad, Mourinho did well with them in Europe but they really underperformed in the league under him. I don't think De Rossi has done anything special just told them to focus on attacking teams instead of focusing on defending like they did under Mou.

De Rossi inspires fear from Roma's team because he was a Gattuso-esque player. Problem children like Mancini fall in line and play football because they fear/respect him, more so than they did with Mourinho. De Rossi being a former player will be better tactically and reading player momentums than Mou ever will.

I can see this Roma being a tough test, but Milan have the squad to overcome them.
Shame that Fik is suspended for the first leg, but Gabbia/Kjaer/Thiaw should be able to stifle Lukaku and Dybala. If our attack clicks, I can see us winning comfortably.

He's made them more open/fluud. But that would be said about anyone after mou. Meanwhile he's veen lucky on both ends.

That front 6 :proud: with a confident Chukwueze ready to enter from the bench
Chukwueze, Jovic, Okafor, Musah and Adli to come on.
Our bench ain't half bad.
Last year we had to bring on Krunic and/or Pobega and Origi and/or CDK, Rebic/Messias and/or Salad. :ibraugh:

Winning the Europa league would turn the season from a decent, slightly underwhelming one to a very good one. It would take the shine/spotlight away from Inter at the global level. So, yes, let’s go all in and make history.

Most predictions said 2-1 to us, with a tougher 2nd leg at Rome. I would say we will overwhelm them and win by a 2 goal margin at least.

I hope we wear that lucky purple kit for all the remaining games.

It is almost a no-brainer to start Adli over Benny BUT I have a feeling we will see Benny from the start here. Adli will probably start the return leg.

Forza Milan.

This will be such a fun game for me to watch, as I will be watching it with my polish friend who lived 15 years in Rome. He obviously is a Roma fan, not a fucking Nazzio. He has a pub here where we watch games together and over the time I see his Milan love growing on him, because we only watch Milan games together :) like all the Serie A small team games and I think I slowly turned him into a proper Milanista ;> Let's make this conversion a complete one, TEAM! Forza Milan!

I was supposed to be on an 8am flight to Milan this morning but had a family emergency in London and only made it back North late this afternoon.

I'll be watching the match with the Scottish Milan Club instead, and hopefully every one of us witness a historic victory over Roma.

We've got this!!!

Forza Milan.
