NikkiCFC 8,372 Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 Can we win in Italy for a change? Lazio around 20 years ago is only game I can think of. Muzchap and nachikethas 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 18,994 Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Kante re-injured before even getting back on the pitch. 😔 Could’ve been extremely useful in a match where Milan will be desperate to make amends for the horror show last week. A fully refreshed Kante would’ve been a great weapon that Milan wouldn’t have expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched Milan v Juve last Friday, they were a different entity as against us, methinks we've got a battle on our hands. I think i'll settle for a draw now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We defeated them very comfortably last time, we have no reason to shit our pants in Italy.. Theo is back so they will be more dangerous on the left wing but he also tend to neglect his defensive duites.. His side of the pitch will be key. Should be very careful when defending but ruthless with counter attacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbluewillie 1,930 Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Last time all they were concerned about was their forthcoming game aganist Juve. This time it will be about revenge for the thrashing, it aint gunna be easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strike 7,533 Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 Theo Hernandez coming back changes things. It creates that triangle on the left with Leao and Tonali and Milan like to attack by overloading that side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He made it seem that they feel they let themselves down at The Bridge, that they are angry, and that they are very motivated. bigbluewillie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,994 Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 They showed in the first 10-15 minutes of last weeks match that they’re capable of keeping the ball well and making us uncomfortable before we woke up and dominated the rest of the game. So if we have an equally poor start again but Milan are much more assertive then we could find ourselves in trouble. Curious to see Potter’s XI. Gallagher was a beast against Wolves and Mount finally woke up and had a typical Mount game. Having both of them starting today and being aggressive in and out of possession could be useful in a match like this. But would he leave out one of Sterling or Auba for a game this huge? Not sure.

ZAPHOD2319 4,823 Posted October 11, 2022 Author Share Posted October 11, 2022 Sterling and Auba will start. If he plays a back four it would allow Mount to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZAPHOD2319 4,823 Posted October 11, 2022 Author Share Posted October 11, 2022 I changed the Next Match for Milan. Because I am posting in EST it does not update the countdown time. Usually James updates that widget as he is in the UK. I wanted the other information displayed for today but my time zone messes up the countdown timer since James updated the website software.

Pizy 18,994 Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 6 minutes ago, Alabama said: Jorginho.... Biggest worry. Guess the thinking is that Potter wants his most experienced, most comfortable receivers of the ball in midfield. Which may be the right call if Milan are so poor that we just boss possession the whole time. But if they come out like I expect them to (trying to prove a point) I think it’s super risky. Hope we try to have a go right from kickoff and aren’t intimidated by the atmosphere into sitting deep and inviting loads of pressure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAM09 7,069 Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 That midfield pairing is my only concern. I'm guessing Potter doesn't want to play RLC too much for obvious reasons, as he certainly deserved to start tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got all BT sports and sky sports for an extra 15 quid a month. Edited October 11, 2022 by YorkshireBlue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
