They have enough quality to hurt us especially if we are not on top of our game. Our defence doesn’t have the same solidity of last season as well so that’s a worry. Will be content with a point but a win would be sweet.

@wera i remember you feared this match months ago.

Hopefully your fear won't be justified.
I don't mind going full defensive for this one. Luckily they are in bad form the last 5 matches, but they know they have to win this one, so it's going to be a nailbitter.

If ever there was time for Lautaro and Thuram to show they are not afraid of challenging opposition, it's now.

Latest rumored starting XI:

Sommer
Pavard-Bisseck-Bastoni
Dumfries-Frattesi-Asllani-Mkhitaryan-Dimarco
Lautaro-Arnautovic

I'm giggling at Inzaghi continuing to go on brand with the starting XIs in CL this season. :D
This is horrible.

If we are going in Sociedad mode once again I swear...there will be riots.

This looks like a horrible first 11, but I'll concede that Inzaghi does better when you don't expect anything from him :lol: I wonder if De Vrij and Barella are okay and just resting for AC Milan

Lol we sure are treating it like conference league 😂

Tbh I actually like the attitude to some degree, we are acting like a big club and tactic complications might be easier for us in CL, and it shows how detailed we are allocating our resources.

Besides difficulty; put it like this way, every game value in Serie A is almost the same, 3 pts except with direct title contenders, CL is different cause it is about qualifications so the value lost and gain varies. As we progress into knockout stage CL match value should normally exceed Serie Matches.

Imagine we have a budget to do one strong purchase, e.g. Hakimi, or like Koopmeiners for JuBe or spread it for solid rotation.

Oh I don't mind De Vrij and Barella resting. I don't like Arnautović and Asllani in combination with Frattesi. It's hard...I understand Thuram played two in a row full 90 minutes and Correa and apparently even Taremi are not at 100%. I'm also not strongly against Asllani as many here but why this combination here? Why not the Zielinski like vs Lecce?

I don’t believe that starting 11 at all. Inzaghi knows we have to get a positive result here to be in control of our destiny. There will be a little rotation but not the suicidal lineup sky is predicting.

That was also the case against Sociedad last season and yet Inzaghi decided to rotate.

We have seen before Inzaghi doesn't hesitate to rotate in CL so i wouldn't be surprised if he did it against Monaco as well.

You all know pretty well that if Asslani and Frattesi are playing together, the best we can hope for is a draw. Inzaghi is throwing in the towel before the game has even started.

Monaco X2 for 2.30 seems like a solid bet.

Very annoyingly, I’m not able to watch this one from the start.

Sucks, this last match day looks bonkers.

Correa not in CL list.

Guys, take it easy. We have 5 subs. Or do you feel we go down 0-3 with that squad and it's unrecoverable after that? Yes, might happen like against Benfica. Which we recovered to a draw!

:lol:

It's not about subs and can we hold a draw with this team,it's about mentality we are going into this match. Smells like new Sociedad/Leverkusen case. Especially Sociedad. We mismanaged that badly not going for a win. I was pissed after that match way more then after any other under Inzaghi. If Inzaghi learned nothing from last season and we are going with same plan here and with same mindset that we have 22 players who can play CL we will get fucked sooner or later. This is not your regular Serie A game vs some Torino or Udinese,CL is completely different animal.

Hopefully that predicted lineup isnt true.

Playing Bisseck as CCB in a game were we need a result and with 2 error prone midfielders who lacks defensive awareness in front of him in asslani and frattesi, seems borderline irresponsible.

Bisseck almost just returned from injury, isnt used to being CCB at Inter and generally lacks the experience to play that important spot. Thats alot of pressure and stress to put him.
