    The start of a tough little run of games. Important week ahead for the side with this match, the Coppa quarter on midweek and Milan the following weekend.

    Looks like the ice cold Dzeko will start again instead of the in form Schick... I need help understanding this for f%cks sake.

    Yes, he is just not clinical enough, which - with our defence - is risking too much.

    This is what baffles me about EDF's squad choices sometimes, Schick has finally found some form and immediately gets dropped to the bench for Dzeko (who has scored fewer goals than Fazio...)

    It is because if Dzeko can find his form, he will propel us into the Champions League. Like I get wanting Schick to develop. And if a good EPL offer came for Dzeko, I'd be ok with letting him go at his age. But he is still our best player probably. If he can get back to scoring, the second half of the season will be very good.

    Since he hardly scored in the first half of the season before his injury, that is a big if.

    A win here could mean so much for the rest of the season!

    Florenzi and Lorenzo are doubts for this match.

    Maybe a switch to 4-4-2? There were reports this week about it. I don’t think EDF will like playing 4-2-3-1 with Kluivert and Rick on the right side.

    Cristante-Nzonzi-Zaniolo and Pastore in front of them, with Schick and Dzeko up front.

    Florenzi and SES as starting together as wingers. Guess we're not even going to try to play flowing football.

    Atalanta don’t allow teams to do that anyways. Especially at home.

    when you look at a front 3 like SES - Dzeko - Florenzi it just screams goals galore

    and no Pellegrini :(

    Still hoping to see EDF experiment with two strikers for this one despite the paper's predictions. Keep it tight and go for the aerial duels. I'm not sure I would even try to play possession here.

    Cristante, Nzonzi, Lo Pellegrini and Fazio are all one yellow away from a suspension.

    The lineup I'm seeing has florenzi instead of karsdorp

    Edit: .Looks like it's Rick though. Happy about that. Really intrigued what we can do with this lineup getting LoPe and Zaniolo on together without LoPe getting pushed back.
