Looks like we're barely going to have a team to put out there for this one. We certainly don't have enough defenders with Romagnoli down as well.

Rino is going to try a 3 at the back with Abate and Rodriguez on either side of Zapata apparently, I can see the humiliation coming from a mile away at this point.

We're going through some terrible luck, and during such a crucial stage of the season as well..

Yeah, I like that set-up, in a way it reminds me of Ancelotti's Milan-lite. Fabregas as the Pirlo, Kessie as a Gattuso-type, and Paqueta as a Seedorf-lite.

Only changes I would make when everyone is fit would be Calabria over Conti. I think Calabria has earned the starting spot for now and Conti is the one who has to work to take it from him. For me, Calabria fits well within the team. Sometimes he has mental mistakes in defense but going forward he has proven to be an asset down that right wing.

Also, this formation leaves us a little exposed down that left side. From what I have seen of Paqueta he likes to scamper forward and he definitely won't be joining us with the physically-imposing, endless running that Kessie provides. We know Ibra won't be tracking back. RR has had a good season thus far but this would leave him isolated. Add-in that he likes to go forward and will see open field ahead of him to deliver crosses into Ibra and we have a recipe for getting burned on the counter.

Nah, not exposed at all. From what I’ve seen Paqueta is a very disciplined player, his primary position at Flamengo has been that of RCM. Think of him as a highly-skilled Bonaventura.

Also, Calabria over a fit Conti is not happening.
