Rested.

This will be our 6th game in 18 days. The last of which we played 120 minutes. Not to disrespect Spezia but if there was such a good time to rest Bennacer and/or Kessie, this would be it.

I hope we could be clinical and seal the points early because I expect the legs will be heavy in the final 15-20 minutes.

I understand resting players but take them off midway. The two defensive mids make/break this team as they are crucial to the press. We just need one to help the other, preferably Tonali and Benna.

I get resting Hakan or Saele as they can come on to score when teams are tired. A young team just screams disorganization.

Tonali playing is fine, I think. He did well against Rio Ave. As far as Krunic is concerned he's never really convinced any of us, but it would be nice to finally see a really good performance from him in the Milan shirt.

What actually concerns me the most is that the players who are starting the match don't have a lot of experience playing together, especially the midfield and the forwards. And with Calha out as well I worry that we won't be able to establish any kind of real pressure against Spezia, instead banging our heads against the wall of defenders they are certainly going to put up and leaving ourselves open to counter attacks. Of our six matches so far this season, I think this is by far the most dangerous one due to the condition the team is in at the moment. Getting 3 points today would almost be something of an achievement.

Both of Spezia(owned) midfielders Ricci and Maggiore are pretty good, won't be easy game for midfielders.

Other than Kjaer and Krunic, all of our starters are under 23 years old.
