Last match before the international break and I guess for a change it's an international break that will be most welcome as numerous players look to recover from their ailments. With 2 or 3 players (seems Kolarov is a doubt) returning from suspension it's going to be interesting to see what Claudio comes up with here, most notably his comments about playing Dzeko and Schick together. Getting to the 50pts mark with a win here and watching as Milan and Inter play out another boring derby stalemate would make for the ideal weekend.
If Ranieri goes 4-4-2 this weekend is this what are we looking at? Karsdorp Marcano Jesus Santon Kluivert Nzonzi Zaniolo El Shaarawy Dzeko Shick
Both Kolarov and Zaniolo havent made the squad. Crazy the number of absences. This international break cant come quick enough, in the meantime gotta win this first.
Ugh. I didn't even notice that. I guess Cristante for Zanilo. Man, that's a thin bench. Perotti, Fazio, and I guess Coric the only real options. Maybe Celar as well.

Olsen Fazio - Marcano - Jesus Karsdorp - Nzonzi - Cristante - SES Zaniolo Schick - Dzeko Most reports saying we’ll go 4-4-2 with Zaniolo on the right wing, but I think it could look more like this.

I would prefer that 3-5-2 lineup with Juan Jesus facing Lazzari as a left centre back instead of a left back. How he does 1v1 against him could have the biggest impact on the 3 points.
Nzonzi-Cristante might be the slowest duo in sports history. I'm interested to see what Ranieri's vision is with that.
crap quality , but it's the best I can find right now : https://www.jamunanews.net/sport/soccer/seriea/channel-3.html I'll keep looking
ugh , where to begin? we're playing hideous football to protect our backline , and they still concede to a shit team.
