I think Silva and Conti are joining the team tomorrow from what I can tell. Probably won't plat against Dortmund.

Here's my probable line-up:

Montella will go for the 4-3-3 tomorrow according to most sources. I really hope he doesn't stick with this once the new signings get integrated into the side

Anyway this is the probable according to sky



And this is the one according to MN



Thought Bona hadn't made the trip but he's there according to this and the call-ups Danny posted

It's nice we'll get to see four, maybe five new signings tomorrow. I'm looking forward to it.

Monto out with an injury I hear. Hopeless case...

Already? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Storari, Abate, Zapata, Paletta, Rodriguez, Kessie, Mauri, Bonaventura, Borini, Niang, Bacca.

Surprised Musacchio and Calhanoglu are not starting.

Truly awful first half. Call me biased if you want but only Bacca did himself any favours out there.

Storari hopeless, entire defence absolute mince - Rodriguez was quiet but OK. Midfield...to call Kessie's debut diabolical is an understatement. Sincerely hope he improves because that was terrible. Mauri not bad, not great, Jack has barely touched the ball, Niang usual Niang, Borini meh and also bit naughty with the stamp, while Bacca is the only one who looks like he's trying. Goal was great.

Honestly I'd be happy with Bacca as our striker next season.

Really disappointed so far in Kessie to say the least, Rod was as I say alright nothing to be stunned by.

Best player out there is pretty much everyone in a yellow shirt but Aubameyang has been the best player by a country mile.

Pretty bad - pretty expected. But Borini and Kessie didn't look half as bad as you say IMO.

I read somewhere that Kessie is playing in the central midfield position. Don't know if it's the case because I can't watch, but I don't think that position suits him at all

That being said, I think all our players don't fit in a 4-3-3 now, and Montella needs to drop it, like yesterday

So I understand the game finished 3-1. I heard Kessie was good as was Mussachio. Basically all the new signings looked good, while the old ones were meh! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

And heard Ousmane Dembele was awesome.

Well, you touched a vital point/question here Han. Montella. I must say, I'm worried.

I heard that Kessie was more than decent today, but I didn't watch the game.

First half Kessie could barely complete a pass. I later realised he was playing completely out of position. He is NOT a defensive midfielder going by that display - much more central. He looked uncomfortably in the position, simple as that.

And correct Han - we played 4-3-3 and it was extremely poor. It was no different to last season. But that said, and I know you've all missed them like a genital wart, but here's Danny's Post Match ratings (which everyone will disagree with).

Storari: 5 Weak. Made a solid save at the end but shouldn't have been beaten for the first. Showed why he's a deputy goalie.

Abate: 5 Quiet really, made little impact on the match.

Zapata: 5 Actually did ok in the second half but tragic in the first.

Paletta: 3 Ugh just ditch him already. He's the new Mexes. Mr Red card Penalty Protestation.

Rodriguez: 6 He was ok, didn't really stand out but didn't do too much wrong either.

Mauri: 6 A fair bit of energy and effort, maybe not perfect on the quality

Jack: 0 I literally don't think I noticed him touch the ball on a single occasion. He wasn't bad, he was just completely invisible.

Kessie: 5 DM is not his position, and it showed. He was patchy at best.

Niang: 3 Usual

Bacca: 7 Effort, industry, even showing strength plus the goal.

Borini: 6 Nothing spectacular.

Subs:

I'll just point out the notable ones:

Musacchio: 8 Inside 15 seconds of the restart it was obvious he was a class above. Really REALLY looks the part. Can already see Romagnoli on the bench if we play a four because I'd choose this guy.

Calhanoglu: 8 Really got into it, looked like he's been a Milanisti for years. Touch of class and had no fear.

Cutrone: 0 Showed why he will not play any role in serious action this season. I've seen a rabbit in headlights with less fear and more composure.

Sosa: 7 Weirdly his cameo was actually quite tidy.

Antonelli: 7 He did a bit better than Rodriguez.

Montella: 3 PLEASE DITCH THE FOUR THREE THREE K THANKS BYE.

Ok I was evidently watching a different Kessie to the one being lauded by everyone! To me he looked lost and it took till the 25th minute before he completed a pass correctly. He did improve marginally in the second half but a stand out he was not. But then everyone always disagrees with me anyway so (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Yup, I share that concern. I was already getting deeply concerned by about March about Montella then when he got his four year deal I had to ditch it but he REALLY REALLY REALLY NEEDS TO DROP THE FOUR THREE THREE KTHXBYE
