What are the chances Ale starting against Siena as-well? I feel he'll score a brace there.
Good chances, I guess. Everybody in Italy says he looked good yesterday, and the Ale-Pirlo duo is great. Plus, Vucinic will be 100% fit, and Conte knows what Ale-Pirlo-Mirko can do, so...

3 of our forwards played yesterday, Ale had the better performance. Anyway, if he won't start vs. Siena, he'll probably start vs. Bologna 3 days later. But if he'll do well in trainings this week, I believe we'll see Ale-Vucinic infront.

I always feel when he's going to score. He's not under pressure now. He's wearing our fav white boots:D and also he looks pretty damn fit and good physical condition since pre-season.


Btw, I think this season is the toughest season to predict a starting lineup for each game, except for defense, it's still mystery how Conte would field his players.

We play Bologna 3days after? hmmm, then I'd love to see Ale play home more than away.

I think we'll see this:

Buffon
Lichtsteiner-Barzagli-Chiellini-Grosso
Krasic-Vidal-Pirlo-Elia
Matri-Vucinic​
I don't think Conte will field Elia yet. There's a reason why Giacchi played full 90min and wasn't subs. Obviously Conte doesn't look for names but who has practiced more and looks more fit in his squad and plans.

Also, with De Ceglie out, things will look unclear at least till Saturday 1day before the game. Conte will have a headache to pick between Marchi and Vidal. Will be interesting to see what formation he'll use.

Yeah, but Ale really likes to score vs. Siena, so I don't mind :)

Btw, according to reports in Italy, right now he's Conte's second choice in attack, if not the first. He looks great, he trained a lot with the team so he knows everything about Conte's ideas, he fits great into our formation, as a second striker that connects between the midfield and the attack. He helps Pirlo a lot, and of course he's a leader and an amazing player overall.
