Amorim is putting a lot of faith in this group.... Especially Cisse

We gotta hope that the big guns come off the bench by the 60th minute: Modric, Rabiot, Pulisic, maybe even Moreira or we're screwed. De Winter as the CCB worries me but in Amorim we trust, I guess.
To be honest, we can beat Torino with that starting XI if we play good football.

The names suck on paper, but I’ll be positive because they aren’t being coached by that guerrilla and mountain warfare expert.

PTSD from that first XI.

It is what it is, lots of players still to surface.

Really hope we get to see the start of an identity tonight. Good game friends! Forza Milan

That’s a horrific line up
Either Amorim sends a strong message about his quality or he gets slapped hard

Lol being a Serie A fan at this point is truly like choosing to watch minor league baseball. It has been a terrible league since calciopoli.

I used to just tell myself who cares the Champions League is all that matters and then we stopped playing in the Champions League.

I felt sad when we had Modric & Moreira looking at the predictede lineup and here comes Amorim with Stupido & Musah instead :lol:
With that said, if we played good with this lineup then Amorim is legit.

I’d like to see this as well, but you have to remember both Leao and Pulisic are unfit + they are both perpetually injured.

If they are both staying, then I think we should wait until both are 100% recovered. Otherwise, they are both players that fucking suck when they aren’t 100%.
I mean if forcing Leao out means RLC and Cisse starting… cmon man what are we doing

First game of the season, things are always weird at the start, especially after a major tournament.

The line-up is bad, but I'm sure Torino's is worse.
The most important thing is that we play as a team.

It's in the interest of the team to have that starting XI perform.

too many great players to list but if pushed all time favorite player: Maldini
It is what it is gents we have to hope Amorim can make it work. I’d rather not see a few of the players play for Milan ever again. Let’s hope Amorim can replicate his successes and it does not go the way his Man united spell went.

It is difficult to know.

Tried and tested mechanism to spice up the condor zone.

Estupiñán instead of Bartesaghi, the completely untested Cissé, De Winter at center-back despite Gabbia being fit, Chukwueze consistently on the wing instead of Alexis. Some random Brit in the starting XI.
We’re either moments away from the opening act of a brilliant visionary, or two hours away from becoming a monumental laughing stock and developing a months-long migraine, until they sack the coach in winter and hire some random Serie A journeyman.
There is no third way. Tertium non datur. This kind of madness only ever leads in one of two directions.

Ceterum censeo RLC has to be sold immediately.

I don't think I've ever been this curious before the first game of the season.

Am I confident? Fuck no.

Am I intrigued? Absolutely.

Am I hopeful? Always.

It's really not that bad. Other than the EPL, what league would you rather follow? Sure Bayern and PSG are CL contenders every year but those leagues are boring as hell. Give me Serie A any day over pretty much anything else. For me personally even over EPL which has become a corporate monstrosity in many ways.

La Liga is interesting too but I'm not into the whole RM Barca dynamic and the style of football in general.

Overall Serie A as a whole slumped last year but I don't have this same totally negative outlook as many others.

Could be our left-footed trequartista. Anyone else we get will be worse.
Edit: Thought it was Karetsas. Anyway, both would be better than RLC

Typical Amorim XI - doesn't give anyone special treatment.
Let's hope his picks don't backfire and we're not down 4-0 going into HT...

Even for someone with his kamikaze style, it would've been understandable to play it safe, Allegri-style, in his first match.
But props to him for the conviction and not taking the pussy route, even if it might prove to be a bit foolish.

They both just moved to Bvb,and we simply can't have Rlc playing am for any period longer than one game.

We must sign someone this window , otherwise I'm thinking Roma , Como, Juve are all better bets for top 4

Finally, we’re here!

I have no idea what’s Amorim’s style.
0 idea how Ramos, Moreira(?), Gila play.

If all goes wrong, at least I will be having a concentrated shot of excitement today.
