Will be very interesting to see what line-up Montella picks and even if it's shown as a 4-3-3 I'm 95% confident the shape on the pitch will not be that

Biglia and Romagnoli are the ones still out injured, what I hope to see

Conti--Musacchio--Bonucci--Rodriguez
Kessie--Locatelli
Hakan
Suso--Silva--Bona

A play on a 4-3-3/4-2-3-1

So, as Han said, Kessie and Silva quite good today. Hakan good but not as good as I want him to be. Conti looks very tired, it's his 3rd game in a row that he looks like this. Antonelli is obviously a disaster. I am convinced that I could play better than him. Montolivo and Borini trying, not doing bad - considering they are our back ups.

Agree on all this bar Borini - he's a joke.

Conti's had no impact - barely noticed him.

Kessie's QUITE good? He's been the best player on the pitch by a mile! Absolute monster - hasn't put a foot wrong. Could become Serie A's best midfielder the way he's been going for us.

Silva absolutely delighting me - took both goals superbly - keep this up and I'll be delighted to have been wrong about him. Sure it's only some diddie side fro Macedonia but you can only beat the teams you face and while his off ball work hasn't been perfect, he's had two valid shots as a Milan player and both of them have been great goals.

It's definitely a 4-3-3 and that's why Cal hasn't been perfect - he doesn't suit sitting so deep. Monto has been good - make no bones about it, he's played well and his goal was good too.

Suso a bit meh - still taking too much of the ball for himself and trying too much. It's as if it was his ego last season and now it's him trying to impress with all the competition. Some of it is good, some isn't.

Defence barely tested but been good apart from two mild attacks - Zapata off the pace.

And now I see how good Rodriguez is - what an upgrade at LB he's been. Antonelli acceptable as squad but not a starter. I used to rate him very highly - but he's been really bad tonight.
