Exactly one year ago the team started to have problems. With Icardi, Spalletti, Ivan, Nainngolan... to see this make me really happy.

Brozovic is going to get pressed like crazy I imagine and whilst the guy deserves mad respect for all he has done he is suspect to that odd error especially when not in full form which can lead to problems.Good thing Sensi is back to help out.My eyes will definitely be on Brozovic to see how he deals with all the mad Atalanta pressing though and whether he maintains composure or not.Could be where this game is won or lost.

I expect more or less the same performance we put in against Napoli. The opponent will play attacking football and impose their style, we will be under siege for a good chunk of those 90 minutes. We will play on the counter again (even if Conte didn't like it when journalists pointed that out, for some reason). And just like Insigne had all the space he could've wanted against Skriniar, I expect Papu to dance his way around Godin and Candreva. We will once again need Handanovic to put in a world class performance, especially because Godin/DeVrij/Bastoni trio is not used to playing together. Nonetheless I expect a lot from DeVrij and Bastoni offensively, they both have excellent capabilities in terms of through balls and long diagonal passes that kick-start counter attacks. I'm not expecting too much from Sensi, he will need a match or two to shake off the rust.
On the other hand, we could really use Barella here. He is a pitbull, and I know that a lot of you don't like his 24/7 grinta overdrive mode, but that Gattuso-like approach when defending, an elegant dose of playing dirty is what is needed to stop these snappy, quick teams early on in the midfield.
Our morale is strong and we are coming off some good results, but Atalanta is in god tier form and honestly a draw would piss me off way harder than if we were to lose. There is no shame in hypothetical losing to this Atalanta squad.

As long as it's not 5:0.

I’m afraid of them, but they are so beatable. Beating them right now would feel very nice.

Rocchi as a referee, Irrati is responsible for VAR...

wasn't Rocchi the Ref of Atalanta-Juve some month ago, where Juve basically got only favours the whole game?

Last time he reffed us was against juve and while we lost, I thought he had an excellent performance.

That's why they appointed him for this crucial encounter so he can fix that mistake.

He's mixing up his moves. One day a Rubentino then hippidyhopinterista. I remember that game. He was excellent and I remember thinking myself ' wtf Rocchi, actually had a well run game'

Still the Italian referee factory is outdated, they are sponsored and tailored in Turin. I wonder if they all are driving Fiat or not.

Also, don't understand the skepticism here. We drew them last time at San Siro amidst total chaos and dysfunction. We will be fine.

If you guys didn't know, we're winning the scudetto this year. So of course, we are banging them 4-3.
