In-match: AC Milan v Liverpool, Tue 17th September, 20:00

The Albert Match Days
1

As no one is biting the bullet, I’ll take one for the team and open the thread for the Milan match.

This is the first game against 8 different European opponents to determine our position in the 36 league team super league. Did I say “super league”? No, it’s clearly something different.

Anyway, this is Arne Slot’s first European game for us and it will be interesting to see what team he puts out. Will he stick with the players that struggled against Forest or rotate to suit an Italian opponent?

Milan won 4:0 at the weekend against bottom of the table Venezia but have so far had a pretty miserable 5 points from their opening 4 games.

Slot’s press conference is at 6:30pm this evening:

Too late! I’ve already started one.

I don’t mind which one stays… maybe the mods can merge? :thinking:

Bollocks. I can’t delete it either. I’ve flagged it. I’ll leave it to the mods.

If we turn up, we’ll twat them.

If we don’t, we’ll lose.

We may also draw.

The end.

I’m sure that Arne and his team will know the personnel, formation and tactics to see us through this game. COYR YNWA :+1: :nerd_face:

Chiesa to start.

Doubt it, surely he would have been on the subs bench against Forest if he was ready to start games?

Just to point out it’s 8 games not 10…

Fixed. I’m not sure where I got the 10 games idea from.

Have the feeling we won’t win this one too but personally I don’t really expect us to finish in the Top8 anyway.

The league stage doesn’t give me CL feeling at all.

Probably because most of us having the playoff already.

I’d say a win here and we may make the top 8 but it does feeling you don’t have a breathing space.

How that impacts teams will be interesting.

Would be nice if Chiesa could start, but a cameo off the bench seems the more likely scenario.

Gonna be a rough night down our right side whoever we play as Theo/Leao are a relentless pair to stop so hopefully we have something planned to nullify them as best we can.

I haven’t posted in a match thread in ages but I wanted to give just a quick reminder that Milan will have a Partizan youth (and a lad who’s one big, giant heart) product starting for them. :eyes:

Wake up call recieved against Forest.

There’s going to be one unlucky side who’s going to get a real pasting in the coming games.

Chiesa has travelled.

Don’t think anyone is missing…. Curtis Jones is fit.
