Yep, definitely need 3 midfielders against this lot. They’re a physical team and they’re not a team of midgets like Napoli, so we better close down their wings and service to that cunt Icardi.
I don’t mind us benching Dybala either, he hasn’t been himself for a couple of months now. Bring him off the bench and let him have a run at them in the final 20 mins or so.
+ They're well-rested, and some of our players might be a little fatigued after playing two games a week. 3 CMs and 5 mids in total in defensive phase will help with that. If Spalletti and Inter are smart, they'll be extra physical in this game.
433 will also be good for taking advantage of their FBs.
Inter's biggest weakness apparently is losing concentration in periods of the game. So, we've to hold steady when they come in waves, and we can take advantage of periods when they drop their game.
Don't mind the bday boy playing. He did well vs Callejon. Just gotta make sure to have enough height in the XI vs Inter.

Benching Sandro is a significant mistake. Just don't get it. Why neuter our offensive capabilities against tough opponents like this. Our left side won't create shit with Asa, Matuidi and Mandzu sharing space. It will all be about hoping Cuadrado woke up on right side and overload on his side. Especially with no Dybala to combine with him wide.

Sup Osman. Yeah, if Asabob starts, it should be Berna, DC or Alex Sandro on the wing, not Mario. Otherwise, Cuadrado will be the only outlet. That's 90s calcio.
Don't want us to wait till 70th minute to try and score a winner.
