What's encouraging is that this chart makes it look like last year was just a crazy statistical outlier, with Juve having the exact opposite. I hate to make excuses for things, but I think it's pretty clear that without that crazy swing of bad luck for us, good luck for Juve, that Milan would still be the reigning Serie A champs.

That Napoli has been able to keep their numbers far below the average for 5 straight years is very intriguing. At what point does statistical variance cease to be a factor and perhaps they truly do have better training methods than the rest?

This is crazy. and I blame bad management. whatever it is, there must be a way to fix it.

You blame management?

Who ever is to blame is f**king shocking. Napoli look great with those statistics.

Here's how Napoli preventing injuries:

Good thing Barbara dumped Pato then.

According to milannews, Boateng and Abate should be ready for the next league game vs Atalanta, Robinho and Pato could return within the next two weeks but Montolivo might take a little longer.

IMO, from what I've read lately, Montolivo, Robinho and Pato will return against Zenit. Until they get back, I think this is how we should play:

Opinions?

I'd try out Constant. During the season training matches he did well IMO and now is the perfect time to give him a shot.

But that, just like your tactical display XO, would mean Allegri makes minor changes. I don't think he's up to it.

When is our next match?

It's futile continuing with the 4-3-1-2, especially without a playmaker in midfield. Apparently Allegri has been trying the 4-3-3, but I think, given our men, we should try out the 4-2-3-1. Emanuelson did great in pre-season, time to give him a chance.

Saturday against Atalanta at the San Siro.

You think he's a better option then Constant? I'm not so sure.

While I completely agree with x-off that we absolutely need a change of system as the diamond won't work without a pure trequartista, I can't see Allegri really doing that, and for me, a 4-3-3 is not the way to go either as we'd need very specific type of players for that and we just don't have that.

So, with that siad, Filippo is right. Constant will just have to take Monto's place in midfield, as for who will replace Boateng for the Atalanta game, I have a bad feeling it will be Urby. And don't get me wrong, I have nothing against him, I think he's a great rotation player to have on the team, but he just cannot be played as an AM

Yes, I think so.

You never know.
