Isn't that what Ricci and Jashari are here for?
Waiting to see how they actually line up but when an attacker is running through your area you have to be switched on.

If Fofana is to play similar to RLC then I guess I will be less critical but Saelly was doing his defensive work better and still being a creator.

Yeah Fofana and RLC are fighting for nocerino award this year. At least RLC knows he is garbage defensively.

Didn't play majority of our starters, got a red card and an own goal and to be honest missed bags of chances. It is CRAZY if we let Saelemakers go AGAIN. The man needs to stay period. Even as a utility player he is so underrated. He was everywhere today and was killing it for the most part. I feel a break out season for him - thank goodness Allegri sees something in him. If we still had the Harvard boys running our window we'd probably have done the swap for Abraham.

Salad is a perfect Allegri player - not flashy but hard working.
I'd rather play him than Chubacca any day of the week.

Very disappointed by Ricci thus far. His passing skills and ability to set up play have been mediocre. Guy just does the simple pass every single time, doesn’t take the initiative to try intelligent passes or break through with body movements. His positioning and defensive skills might be OK, but we need so much more than that.

Also, how the heck are we going to play at this point? Is it always going to be this ugly 3-5-1-1? Because if so my god we are in for some snooze fests this season.

Was abroad on vacation for 2 weeks, unfortunately can't access our forum through tapatalk for some reason... @mods what's the deal with that?

This is the longest I've ever been without R&B since I've found it some 14-15 years ago.

First friendly match from the Amorim era begins in an hour, Celtic vs Milan. First post in this thread in almost a year!


Starting lineup:
MILAN (3-4-2-1): Torriani; Tomori, Gabbia, Pavlović; Athekame, Ricci, Comotto, Bartesaghi; Ossola, Loftus-Cheek; Kostić.

Bench: Bouyer, Pittarella; Gila, Odogu, F. Terracciano, Vladimirov; Cissè, Fofana, Musah, Vos; Borsani, Camarda, Chukwueze, Guernier


Key takes:
  • Same starting defence as last season, Gila benched
  • Athekame chosen as RWB over Chuku, Bartesaghi starts as LWB
  • Ricci-Comotto starting as CMs over Fofana-Musah
  • RLC starts along with Ossola as #10s
  • Kostic starts over Camarda as the striker

Formation on paper seems like a 5-3-1-1 rather than a 3-4-3 but what matters is how we play. Interesting to see the first signs of our 'dominant attacking style'

Horrible giveaway Pavlovic 😔


Already like Comotto

Active - not afraid to move around the pitch.
Makes decision quickly
Seems fast enough to play at this level and not solely rely on his technical ability which is also good.

The exploits to this system are obvious even in these first few minutes. That box midfield shape leaves this pocket of space to operate in the middle.

Combined with the desire to press, manipulating this shape is really easy.

I really don't like it.

Keep in mind Celtic's season starts next weekend. They should walk this game on match fitness alone.

Even with this back three, this flavor of it might expose Pavlovic more than protect him. Incredible.
