Bernadeschi can play CAM. Why does nothing you post ever make sense?! Bernadeschi might be able to play there (I know, I'm suggesting him for every position....). I wouldn't either. Maybe he's saving the money for a future war chest when Serie A finally starts becoming attractive again?

Pjanic is our deepest playing midfielder.

Yup. Milan were sh!t last season, our squad got us to the CL final. It's a hell of a lot easier to improve their squad than it is for us. - - - Updated - - - I wouldn't be surprised to see Bernadeschi take Mandzukic's position on the left in the 4-2-3-1 as a false winger and drift into...

Nah, it was him or Dybala, and I reckon we made the right choice. I remember being annoyed with Bonucci criticising his teammates last season when his own performances weren't great. Compare that with Dybala's response to the supercoppa, saying the team had to do better collectively, and then...

Agreed. It's sad, I really liked De Sciglio back in the day. Seems like he didn't just stall, but regressed with each passing year.

I'm slightly too tired and drunk to think it through properly, but the rational part of my brain is trying to tell me we just had a sh!t game and these things happen. I stand by my comment that what we had on the pitch should have been enough to win. There wasn't a single player in the...

Don't think it's that simple. The team we had out there should have been able to beat Lazio. There was no shape or cohesion, and they looked scared. I agree we need more quality to beat the likes of Madrid, but this was a joke. Very depressing. We definitely need a RB though, that's for...

Thanks - I'd follow your advice, but I know I'm going to end up watching it. I seem to like the punishment. I had hopes for De Sciglio, but he's dreadful isn't he? I still want to know what they did in pre season. From the looks of it - nothing. Looks like they just got off the plane from...

Sorry to say it, but at the start of the season that will be our starting attack. We all know Max is going to introduce the new players slowly. Can't really draw any conclusions from that match other than wtf are we doing in pre season? They look nowhere near match ready! Whatever issues...

Lol, there's no way I can give you a reasonable answer to that while watching this sh!t show. Pretty hard to pick out one area we're weak though.... Defence looks awful. Attack not much better. What midfield?

Dismal.

I don't qualify? ☹️ It is a worry, but to be fair he's only made a fuss about leaving himself, rather than encouraging other players to leave (unless I missed something). Also this isn't the first time Lotito has had these sorts of problems. As we all know he won't have any...

Like I said, our problem wasn't gaining possession but keeping it. Marchisio is every bit as good as Khedira defensively, and better in possession. My only fear would be a lack of height. Wouldn't say no to N'Zonzi though.

Except that Max plays Pjanic as the deepest midfielder, and partners him with a player who can drift further forward. I'm still curious to see a Pjanic - Marchisio axis. Creativity and strength in possession. In the CL final the problem with our midfield wasn't in gaining possession, but...

But this is blatantly untrue. We now have enough depth in attack that we won't have to play a RB as a winger if one of our attackers goes out of form, which is a clear improvement. Also I hardly consider Pjanic a bozo. I don't believe Khedira is as bad as everyone makes out, though he was...

Lol, no need to apologise, I was lurking for a good year before I joined, so you're not being that unfair on me! - - - Updated - - - I really hope this doesn't happen. As much as I admire Max ability to adapt, it would be nice to have a season with continuity for once. Start the...

I get that, but I'm kinda hoping we end the season playing the same formation we start with. It would be good to get through a season without having to tear everything down and rebuild it for once. I see it as a positive that management have identified our strategy (one that was very...

Am I the only one not worried about the CM position? Our management work with the players every day, so they have a clear idea about Marchisio's fitness and have seen Bentancur up close. If they feel Marchisio is going to be fit then that's a massive positive. There's no one on the market who...

Picked it up? Of course I know it, I read every day! Nature of a lurker, you don't see us but we see you! Quite agree. I was surprised at how complete a player he was for us. Thought he had an excellent first season, and I'm excited to see how he does this season. As far as Keita goes...
