Just look at that youngling on the left. From looking like a thirteen year old kid to being the best midfielder in the league in such short time

Meanwhile look at the one on the right. One more mosquito bite and be out for the season.

 

[king_elnino]

a must win, consider Milan will be against Atalanta.

 

[Wallace]

Hopefully the best midfielder in Serie A will get some minutes and score against these bhenchods again.

 

[Jnr]

Udinese always gives their all vs us and then completely collapses vs another midteam.

No Gagliardini. Same team. only Ranocchia instead of Lautaro. Could be bigger threath.

 

[Il Drago]

Curious if Conte is going to rotate the squad or he will play his best lineup as we're facing Milan for Coppa quarterfinals 3 days after this match. It's going without saying this is a must win. There are rumours Udinese are considering a coaching change but for the time being it seems they're sticking with Gotti.

Would be a great time to give Eriksen another start IMO. When the team is in a good moment, the reserves want to meet the standards being set and join in and feel like a contributor.

Very well said. This is supposed to be the time we get huge boost of confidence and given the fact we won Derby D'Italia we're top title contender now despite Milan being the top and playing good. After all we're on a rise for 3 seasons already. Most of the players here are playing 2 seasons or more together and they know when it's their time to step in or step out.

Eriksen,Rano,DDA,Darmian,Sanchez,Perisic should be our key bench players since they all have much experience playing big games and must be relied on at difficult times. Now everything is up on Conte, he must motivate bench, rotate wisely and not to experiment much. Half season to go, this can turn upside down we know that the best, so let's hope this season we finally make it

 

[YoramG]

Probably see Kolarov and Sanchez here, and I agree with Universe in that this is a great game to play Eriksen again.

I really hope we don't slip here. A clean 2-0 would be great going into the Coppa derby.

I would play our best XI against Udinese, and rotate heavily for the coppa. Please keep our eyes on the prize. No one remembers the coppa champion just like no one remembers the Serie A runner-up.

Also coz we have a week of rest between Juve and Udinese. There is no need to rest players for more.

 

[javier_zanetti <3]

The coppa derby is important because it's a derby. We also need to remember that after Udinese our next league game is Benevento at home, which is a great game to rotate our line up.

This is my line up for Udinese:
Handa
Skriniar SDV Bastoni
Hakimi Eriksen Brozo Barella Darmian
Alexis Lukaku

Darmian on the left wing.

Milan will have Atalanta. I don't want a Sampdoria-bis here. Full squad, full strength, crush Udinese and no mess up here AGAIN. Rotation is necessary but this match is too important for that.

Finally, the real test.

 

[Serie B]

0-3

Lasagna hattrick

 

[Batman]

It would be so Inter to lose/draw this game; fucking up right after a perfect game.

 

[phonk]

Udinese are playing midweek against Atalanta. Coincidentally Atalanta are facing Milan on the weekend.

 

[Universe]

We can rotate slightly for both fixtures against Udinese and Milan with the right balance.

Even though he scored the winner at San Siro last season, Udinese gave a technical player like Sensi a lot trouble. Thankfully, they've actually lost two very physical players in Fofana and Sema. Though they've retained Walace, their midfield isn't as tough as last season and I would expect us to be able to easily play through them if we can perform even one tenth as we did against juve.

As I mentioned earlier, I think it's a great opportunity for Eriksen to seize on the great mood at the club and build on his encouraging performance against Fiorentina. I think a minimally rotated team would be best. Give Eriksen and Darmian/Perisic a start in place of Vidal and Young etc. not much more than that. We must win both upcoming matches.

Udinese last win was on 12.12.2020. Since then their record is D D L L D L L .
