Week 11: Milan - Udinese November 4 2023 20:45

[reza]

Injuries and yet more injuries:
As of now Sportiello, Caldara, Loftus-Cheek, Bennacer, Chukwueze, Kjaer, Kalulu, Pulisic, Pellegrino
Romero likely starting.

Unbelievable injury list. But who is "Pellegrini"?

RLC and Pulisic seem to only be kept off out of precaution as they were both nursing injuries from what I'm reading. Hopefully that's the case and both can be ready for PSG.

I'd go with this:
Mike, Calabria, Thiaw, Tomori, Theo, Musah, Adli, Pobega, Okafor, Jovic, Romero

Yes, that's practically a brand new attack and midfield, but I think we need to be 100% for PSG and I'd rather keep Reijnders, Leao, Giroud and hopefully Pulisic and RLC all fresh and ready for Tuesday.

Better see Okafor playing instead of Romero starting.

Paolo Inzaghi's cousin

[Artan]

injured are also players who are not our players

[ACM2023]

So, we play at home against a team that has not yet registered a win this season....

Will Pioli surprise us?

[Aficio]

8/13 first matches were against big teams: Inter, Lazio, Napoli, Juventus, Roma and Newcastle, Dortmund, PSG.

We have the hottest warming-up schedule in Europe

Let it pay. Forza, Milan!

As i always say, start with 90% of the best team, and change down later. I hate it so much when Pioli change the whole line up, every damn time he fails. I would go with: 

Maignan- Florenzi- Thiaw- Tomori- Theo- Musah- Adli- Reijnders- Leao- Okafor- Romero.  

Calabria should be 100% when facing Mbappe, and our level does not go so much down woth Florenzi on the field. I have NO faith in Pobega. Absolutely none, so i rather stick with Reijnders at least to the break or 60 minute. Remember that the team has had one week rest now. That helps. As bad as Leao has been, this team is still 100% Leao dependent. Everytime we starting without him, our attack is just so poor and predictable. And i just cant stand Jovic. He looks completely helpless om the field. Its also good to have both Okafor and Leao in attack. Movement and speed against a low block Udinese.

I don't disagree. I just think if we play with that team, we'll end up with 2 more injuries before PSG. Then, we may be forced to play Pobega anyway, for example. Sucks to think this way, but seems to be the reality for us. 

I feel like whatever happens against Udinese can be made up in Serie A. But a PSG loss could effectively put us out if the CL.

I prefer Okafor out of position RW than Romero.

Isn't it crazy were still scrambling to sub our starters with all the 'depth' we added lol
