Calabria won't ve banned. Just salty pro-Merda newspaper talking smack. If they havent sentenced him by now, they won't suspend him for the match.

That said, still can't believe how salty Merda fans are. 4 days on and they still can't accept a loss. They play Monchenglabach tonight and they're still going on about us. Inferiority complex much?

this as usual wont be an easy task. after the derby win, the apetites are bigger, last time we beat Roma when none expected, hakan calhanoglu is injured .. thats bad news since he is in form lately. the first choise is playing brahim diaz behind zlatan, but, wonder if Tonali would fit there too. i'm eager to see bennacer-kessie and in front of them Tonali in a triangle, all together. that's however Pioli's job to do the formation.
anyway, i hope we can keep the run ongoing, and get the three pts out of this encounter.
as always Forza Milan

Good. Does he even start for them?

By the way, Villa just got their ass handed to them by Leeds.
Win against Roma and we'll be the sole team in the top 5 leagues with a 100% record.

Imagine that. Compare this post to last December. Back then such a statement, actually a fact now, would be purely utopic.
I don't really know what the hell Pioli is doing, but he seems to hit all the perfect notes.
I mean the guy plays Krunic as an advanced renegade in the middle, Brahim Diaz on the left, Dalot starting a match, Hauge scoring (that started well), he obviously does thing the right way, you can sense confidence in the team. It's been a long time.

By the way, from MilanData twitter: ACMilan have played with the lowest average age team (24 years and 34 days) of any team in Europe's 'top five' leagues.

Before the game vs Celtic, the idea to put Tonali as CAM is something I agree with but I thought it would a big trial and error. However, seeing how Pioli was 'braved' enough to play Krunic in respective position, playing Tonali there should be a normal experiment now, it is not something fantasy. Defensive ability between Krunic and Tonali should not differ so much. It is something Pioli wants to add IMO to our offensive midfield to balance our midfield generally. We would lack of creativity, fancy there (with Krunic) but with Tonali I think we could gain something better. Tonali's playmaking, accurate passes, flair, etc suits the necessity the position demands.

Yeah, Pioli is vital for our current achievement. His decisions have been producing positive results. Good point to mention Krunic. As big as we hate that, we got two wins playing Krunic out of his usual position. However, I do think what we are now is a result of a big team from CEO to the frontline. Maldini and co have been excellent giving players that suits to our need. Few people predicted Ibra would join Milan and made such an impact. Kjaer arrival also did something important to the team. Gazidis also should be mentioned, he allowed Maldini and co buying old players without resale value, something that 'break our rule'. The board also made a crucial turn over when we finally put our trust on Pioli. It was almost a certainty that we would hire Rangnick.

Atalanta screwed up at home against 'Doria.
Regardless of results we're ending week 5 in Top spot again.
Lets extend this with a win so we can say we deserve it.

We have to beat Roma, any other result is not acceptable. We have to keep winning no matter what others do

Sampdoria beat Fiorentina, Lazio, and Atalanta in the past three games after losing their first two games. Impressive.

Imagine Napoli will be allowed to play Juventus, and get that one point back too. This is Italy, anything can happen. They will do everything to help Juventus, but if at the end, Juventus was beyond help, they may do that just to hurt Milan. I would not be shocked if that happened.
