I think your last point there is a particularly good one, echoed by an Italian guy I work with who is from Rome, Lazio fan but lives in London and loves the premier league.They seem always to play 3-5-2, but it is not park the bus EPL 3-5-2 and that's the reason I find them interesting to watch. It looks more like old school 4-4-2 where very often Edin/Lautaro keeps pressing quite high, which is not going to work against us...at all! On the left is is almost always Bastoni back on the left with Dimarco/Gosens in front of them. But they have this peculiar habit of kicking balls forward to the left, where Edin or Dimarco picks the ball pinging it back horizontally into the MF and then they all pile up and overload for through ball usually to Lautaro or somebody shooting from the edge of the box. And they have that Turkish lad with the most devastating long shot on Europe and probably in the world. It is gonna bi fun game to watch, I actually like Inzaghi as a manager, but even if we turn 60%, we'll turn them over. They don't play teams like us in Serie A and when they encountered Bayern, they could not cope.
Tottenham, Benfica and AC Milan?Reckon the sheer relief of getting through today maybe coming through as overconfidence on the forums but I don’t think we’ll see that from the lads next Saturday, in no way they’ll underestimate IM - they’ve seen off just as formidable opponents on their way to the final as us. That said, the confidence lift from today in addition to knowing that that Lahoz will be on a beach fucking miles away from the game is massive. Yes, we’ll get the shithousery etc but we’ll get past them.
Sorry pal I didn’t see the post history. I did a lot worse things as chairman!Come on, Swales!!
I'm making a point to another poster in a very petty and smug way. It's the way Bluemoon taught me.
Thanks for this, it's interesting to hear how the match might play out. So, the ball into the left to Dimarco/Gosens/Edin do they tend to be high or low? I expect we will want to be rigorously challenging these. If they don't tend to get down the flank much will this favour Akanji over Walker?They seem always to play 3-5-2, but it is not park the bus EPL 3-5-2 and that's the reason I find them interesting to watch.

Good points made! I feel a little less nervous now. Might try and watch that Bayern game if I can find it. If they press us we will hammer them.They seem always to play 3-5-2, but it is not park the bus EPL 3-5-2 and that's the reason I find them interesting to watch.
