Oh well, this is not the same pathetic, history repeating, miserable team we once were.. so i believe even if the tradition against Atalanta is pretty bad at their turf, we will manage to win this comfortably. Fuck history and "traditions"!

Prove me right boys!

I'd try a similar starting formation as we had vs Genoa. But Brozovic needs a rest.

Would like to see Brozo and Perisic have a rest.

Vrsaliko-Skriniar-Miranda-Dalbert
-----------------Gags------------
---Joao Mario---------9golan---
Politano--------------------Keita
----------------Icardi-----------

Introduce Vecino for 9golan in the second half, or for Brozo only if we are in trouble.

Not a bad idea, though we should take in mind that Politano got called up for the NT so we would do well to perhaps give Candreva a proper chance instead, so that Politano isn't completely burnt out when he returns from international duty. Radja is also obviously not fit, I doubt he will make much of progress in 4 days so he should rest as well. I also don't fully trust Gags as a single DM. Double pivot of Gags and Valero seems a better idea to me. Joao Mario also had good moments as a deeper laying midfielder in those few moments last season, for those who don't remember. And Vrsaljko should also be rested for CL, Dabrosio can deal with Atalanta.

Handa
Dambro - Skriniar - Miranda - Dalbert
Gags - Valero
Candreva - Lautaro - Keita
Icardi

Skriniar will need to be rested at some point as well, it's inevitable. But I really don't want to be the first guy on FIF to suggest Ranno taking his place, maybe against Frosinone.

Some of you want to rotate too many players. Four days off is plenty with the international break around the corner. The only change I would make is D'Ambrosio for Vrsaljko, whose crosses were dreadful yesterday.

I would love to see a 4-3-1-2ish formation, with both Icardi and Lautaro as starters. They benefit from eachother, at least this is what i think.

Behind them as AM Radja and then the trio behind him Brozo, Mario, Valero. In these three i think we have the best ball controllers in the team.

Dalbert over Asamoah, and the rest pretty much DeVrij, Skriniar and Vrsalko.

Good starters and even better (for our standards) bench players. Give Politano and Perisic a break for this game, dont even sub them in.

Keita and Gags can come in, Miranda as well, but id rather see a youngster.

After the Barca games we will be on another level mentally and teams like Atalanta should be and from now on will be 3 points.

This isn't the game to rest Brozovic. We always struggle at Bergamo so we're going to need him. And it's not like we have a quality backup. The only one who can play in his position is Borja but he doesn't have more than 30-40 quality minutes. Nainggolan looked far from fit against Barcelona so i would start Mario again.

We can just play De Vrij - Miranda.

Good news: Crisis for Atalanta as Gasperini could be without two starting defenders (Masiello, Toloi) against Inter

According to the Gazzetta dello Sport, “already without Masiello, Atalanta are likely to face Inter without another important piece in their defense. Rafael Toloi yesterday worked separately due to right ankle problem. After facing Bologna, the Brazilian did not seem to have any issue but he started to feel pain and the ankle has been bothering him since Monday.”

And now, the presence of the former Roma player against Spalletti’s Inter is seriously at risk. Gasperini could find himself facing Inter without two thirds of his defense.

Rest easy; you're not.

FWIW I'm fairly certain Rano is going to make a start against Frosinone after the break. Would make perfect sense. Home game, poor opponent, difficult opponents directly afterwards.

I would be perfectly fine with a Miranda - De Vrij center half pairing on Sunday, but I would also be fine if Skriniar got the nod as well in place of De Vrij. I think, one way or another, we're going to see Miranda get a starting nod at Bergamo. And, yes, I'll reiterate that, if any game this season calls for a Ranocchia appearance for reasons other than health-induced ones, Frosinone right after the break is that game. We've got that four game spell at Spurs, at Roma, at Juve, and then home to PSV that follow that game. We're going to need our best for those games. Tough bit of scheduling; flip the Frosinone and Roma games around and I think we all would've liked that better because rotation makes more sense that way than right after an international break, but so it goes. Obstensibly, we should be able to beat Frosinone with a rotated squad similar to what we put out there against Genoa.

Obviously the PSV game would lose its starch if we get what we need to get out of Wembley, but that's three weeks down the road so I'd rather not dive into that hypothetical right now.

This is going to be tricky. Though I'm hopeful provided the team retain the same attitude as the recent games.

I can't believe that we actually do discuss if we should use or reserves or not as we do have trust in all of them. That's completely different from our last number of seasons as nobody would have had a thought about resting our best players like Icardi and Skriniar in any of our matches.

It feels great to have this trust in our players. Especially because I have missed this feeling for so long.

In no way should we rest Brozovic. We need him for this game this will be tough. Mario for 9G, maybe dambro and i suspect we might see Miranda instead of De Vrij. This is a must win with the fixtures we have after the break

They're missing their starting CB pair, this should create some defensive issues for them. Hope this serves us.

Last time we won there was 2015, 1-4.

Ranocchia was a captain, Guarin scored twice, Palacio and Shaqiri scored one goal each.
