I thought I'd be done with opening game threads for this season, but this game is just over 12 hrs away and there wasn't one opened. So here it is!
Rumors of a 3-4-3 with bith Suso and Bonaventura behind Kalinic. Biglia and Kessie in the midfield behind them.
I don't mind this, and as a matter of fact I think it's what suits us best. The front 3 can be interchangable and you can throw Silva in there as well as Calhanoglu. Where I don't agree with this is the midfield. My opinion is that Locatelli HAS TO PLAY! This kid has fire inside of him. I love his aggression and he is the only midfielder that seems to know how to mark. I think with Kessie and Biglia we might be a bit too exposed. We'll see. In a 2 man midfield, imo, Locatelli is the best choice. From there on, put one of Kessie or Biglia on with him.
Anyhow, as it's been discussed in other threads countless times already, the problem is not the formation but the tactics around it. We have to move the ball quicker and in a more aggressive sense. We have to play a bit more vertical and we have to offer support on the ball in terms if shirt options for passes.
Let's hope for the best....
Forza Milan!!!
