Simone will probably rest Dzeko in that one and exploit the hell out of Lautaro.

Most Passionate MemberPretty secondary game given the situation but I don't want us to embarrass ourselves. We still need to show and believe that we're in every single competition we participate in. A derby loss isn't the end of the world.
Would be cool to use Caicedo as starter here since he's always gonna be fired up vs Roma but it doesn't look likely.
So I'd start Sanchez & Martinez up front.
I'd use Gagliardini, Vidal and Barella. Barella needs to yell at Vidal a lot. And he's also not going to play vs Liverpool so it's not a huge concern. Gagliardini needs starting minutes to be prepared for the Liverpool game and Vidal needs to keep reminding everyone that he's overpaid and that we shouldn't even think about exercising his option.
I'd stick with De Vrij but would put Dimarco and D'Ambrosio next to them. I guess I'd play Radu.
Hopefully Perisic is okay, otherwise Dimarco plays there and Bastoni starts, with Ranocchia in the place of De Vrij. Darmian on the right.
And hopefully we don't shit our pants over a 120 minutes affair. But I'll be definitely watching.

We should field our worst players on the pitch. I can see Mou and Roma even then to fuck this up.

Best Overall PosterThis is a must win game after the loss against Milan. Not because i hold Coppa on a high regard. 2 losses in a row would have a huge impact on our confidence and would put us on full crisis mode. It's the last thing we need right now before the crucial match against Napoli.

10 years of FIFYeah we need to win this one. There was a break for the most of the players so it's not like they are dead tired here. I'd start at least half of our starters here.

- Still here!
Forum SupporterI'll watch, but expect to see lots of " our strong bench" for this one. Gags, Darmian, Dumbo, Radu and 
are obvious choices here. Is Caicedo fit? If so, he should start. Let Perisic heal and put Dimarco in. Forza Inter!

No reason for full on panic mode but there are some worrying facts I don’t know how we avoid.
Essentially, we have:
- 3 quality CBs
- 3 functional midfielders
- 3 strikers available who don’t particularly compliment each other very well (with the exception of maybe Lautaro and Sanchez)
We’ve surprisingly managed to find ourselves decently covered at wingback, but Gosens is still unavailable and wee saw what a drop off Dimarco is from Perisic on the wing.
It’s not exactly an ideal situation for us. Realistically we’ll only have 2 more CL games left so we’ll be able to focus resources more on the league, but I expect the short term to be unsettling.
Oh yeah we’re playing Roma in Coppa… whatever, the focus should be winning at Napoli at all costs.
