I think we can afford some slack here, and give rest to some key figures. Lukaku and Correa will start upfront, this is like 99% certain. Brozo will be the registra, and Barella looked quite tired, so I won't rule out 5G starting instead him.

I'm completely okay with giving minutes to these whom didn't play that much but Correa deserves none. He's an unthankful cunt whom should never wear Inter jersey ever again. Everytime he steps in the pitch, he's rather lazy, selfish or what the fuck ever you name it. He's constantly throwing teammates' efforts away and doesn't give the same energy back.

Also play Asllani instead of Gags please. Let him feel important. Might be a less important match but at least it's still a top quality team to play against. The more he plays along with the rest of champs, the better for him and us.

Napoli are going to want to hit back after that loss to Monza. I dont think we can afford a loss here but I would definitely prefer we give a good chunk of our usual starters a rest here.

Probably not a must win but we need to get something out of it. Milan, Juve and Lazio all have easy games on paper against sides that have nothing left to fight for.

Napoli are stuttering and are clearly in post celebration mode but it won’t be easy to go into the Maradona and get points even if we’re flying. Rotation is critical especially with Viola around the corner and some players feeling the exhaustion. We’ve already lost Mkhi to an injury.

We need to rotate like we did against Sassuolo if we want to be at our best for Coppa final. Even with that rotation, we need and should get at least a point here considering Napoli has their foot off the gas with nothing left to play for. Not that they wont go for it and try to make our lives miserable, but we need a result and they don't. That desire needs to come through even after a big win. If we can get a win here, I'm 99% sure we've secured top 4.

I just can't care about this game at all right now. I'm sure the players and staff are the same.

Don't have one.
Yeah, couldn't care less about this game, we just need to rotate and rotate heavily, if we lose who gives a fuck we have two more league games to make it right. Right now, coppa final should be priority.

I don't really get it why people look down on this match. If we lose Bbilan is only 2p behind with Atalanta fixture up next, isn't my math correct?

I understand the rotation, true for those who exhausted. But the rest should be our strongest. Serie A is much more important than Coppa, period. Don't let Milan pull a Lazio bis to us, please.

We need to maintain the momentum; the players are confident, playing well, and getting results. Nonetheless, it will be a difficult battle.

Napoli will be tremendously determined to prove that they are Italy's champions; they are fully rested and keen to rebound from the Monza match.

To some extent, managing fitness levels through rotation is OK, but we need the three points, and it is preferable to field the best eleven for this.

There is no need to field all the backups only for the purpose of the Fiorentina match.

I would play Handa, De Vrij, Bastoni, Darmian, Asllani, Brozo, Hakan, Bellanova, Gosens, Lukaku, Correa. Rest Barella, Acerbi, Dimarco for future games. We just need a 1 point from Napoli. It's doable with this starting lineup.
