Pobega Musah Reijnders middle three?

[ACM2023]

Are there even any other names left?

[nefremo]

Was Reijnders-Adli-Musah considered too light defensively?

Man, I like Pobega because he is from our youth system, but it's sometimes hard watching him play with the ball. But I guess what we lack in technique, we'll get in some steel and physicality. Adli IS still a bit suspect when it comes to defensive duties

[Inas]

Is it true Pobega is "blind"? That he uses contact lenses?

[Bennacer]

We should almost consider Calabria in the middle and Florenzi as RB. WE need intensity and good passing. I dont trust Pobega. Its as simple as that. Calabria is not world beater, but i will still feel more safe with him than Pobega.

First choice: Adli- Reijnders- Musah. Second choice: Calabria- Musah- Reijnders.

We need to win this match, so we should go out and dominate, then Adli is a good choice. Agree with what you say about defensive duties nefremo, but we have that Kessie light from the start in Musah, who brings so much energy and running.

Very exited for this. It will be a even contest, but if our "aces" get in to the match i think we could win.

My biggest hope: Theo redeem himself with a cracker of a match. Theo has been maybe the biggest dissappoitment for me so far this season. Only against Torino he played really well.

Forza, Milan!!!

I don't know. I do remember seeing a photo in which he was wearing glasses.

Gazzetta: Leao needs to step up in Europe as has poor record.

Scored only three goals in European competitions, last goal in Oct 2022. As a comparison, Erling Haaland – who is a year younger – has 39 European goals, with Kylian Mbappé on 41 and rising star Bellingham on 9. Kaka turned 24 with 11 goals in the Champions League.

Looks like Musah-Pobega-reinjders. They say mUsah will play deep. If so, Pioli must be in love. The guy is 20 and pretty sure he hasnt played CL before.

I hope Okafor starts. If Girouds flicks don’t work he is largely useless. Okafor can be another outlet ball like to Leao.

Livescore has the lineup that comes out as no surprise. Interestingly, it is suggested as a 4-2-3-1 where Reijnders is in a more advanced position flanked by Leao and Pulisic. Adli won't start but I am sure that he will get some meaningful minutes considering that we really have nobody else left.

Giroud still starts but let's hope that he can have a good game. Also, I am sure that Okafor will come in too.

I don't know if I want to choose a good game or a victory (if we can't get both), but I think for now it is important that we get at least 1 point, if not 3. This is truly a group of death, and we can't afford any more slip-ups.
