Meanwhile Arsenal field the strongest possible 11 that they can despite them having a trip to Chelsea on Sunday. In genuine disbelief at what I'm seeing

Welp, if the club doesn't care about this match I'm not sure why I should

TBH, Im not that surprised. We need some rest, and dropping momentum in the league for winning a reputationally big, but likely results-wise unimportant match I kinda get. It will sting us from a pride perspective, but if we want to win the league, every point counts and the game on the weekend is bigger than this one in terms of season impact


Obviously I say that now, we'll fuck up and drop poinst against the shitters in the CL in Jan.

On the brightside Odegaard is on the bench. Im sure even Arteta is stunned by whatever the fuck Inzaghi is thinking.

WTF is this guy doing.
Dimarco, Thuam, Bastoni, Mikhi and Barella better be in before min55

This will probably be the only time I will agree that next Serie A match is more important than CL match.

Get us a point without injuries and let's prepare for a win over the weekend. Looking at Arsenal lineup they will probably also be happy with a point.

Z for Mikhi and Taremi for Thuram I get. But how on earth you do not field one of Bastoni, Barella, or Dimarco is unbelievable. I could see this getting very ugly very quickly. My assumption is Inzaghi is hoping we can stay draw then make subs at the 60th minute, but Arsenal have a better bench than us. We need to try and get ahead early and take it to them.

Worried about, the "overrated" Saka in this one. Inter's lineup may make him look really good today.

But why are we the only team that rests key players in big Champions League matches?

shrug, a bit of pragmatism doesnt hurt tbh. It stings our pride a bit but we're massively lacking in squad depth - if we had to play 2 of 3 games with our first team, Venezia and Napoli are the right choices in terms of overall season impact IMHO. We barely passed Venezia obviously.

Bisseck vs Saka.

Really worried about this match up tbh. His level of focus is complete shit these days.

Don't have one.

It's really not a rocket science, we probably have the oldest team in europe fighting for major trophies, plus we are playing a style of football that would be demanding for a squad half our age. Inzaghi is the last person on earth who would rotate unnecessarily, he always sticks to his trusted players, so when he rotates this much you know it's because he has to.

Honestly I kind of love the balls on Inzaghi :lol:

Not sure I agree treating this as a turnover match was a better idea than vs Venezia but it needed to be one of them I guess…

We need to keep it tight above all else. We have some serious firepower to introduce during the match if Inzaghi chooses to utilize them.

I get the Napoli game is important, but so is this.. Bizarre line-up and choice to leave so many starters out. I just hope we don't see another 1-5 against Arsenal again.
