And no Frattesi again. I thought one of Miki and Barella would have taken a rest along with Hakan for Asllani.

You have Dumfries and Buchanan and you start overused Darmian.

Dumfries is pissed. Buchanan is new. Bisseck is the best solution. Even Augusto can play on the right.

Inzaghi will go for this after the coppa campaign, man can't go a season without a cup trophy behind him.

Plenty of time to rest up before next league game, money and more exposure for the club I see nothing but positives personally.

this will be the lineup that will be fielded in 2 days as well... if we win.... oh and the one against Fiorentina.

I'm generally on the "trust-Inzaghi"-wagon, but this is not viable.
Especially with the kind of schedule we're currently in the midst of. I don't know if it's because Inzaghi is feeling the pressure or what, but what happened to the coach that basically played third string against (and I know, it's not the same level of opposition) Salernitana?

"Prestige", "money", "trophy" (and I certainly won't discount the Supercoppa trophy as useless as some seem to do on here, and I was disapointed we lost to Bologna in the coppa more than I saw it as an advantage) - certainly all viable variables to try and win every match, but in the grand schemes of things, you can't just look at the one match ahead of you and field your, on paper, strongest eleven all the time. In the end, that'll almost certainly lead to you not being able to win every match in the long run.

I don't even want a total turn-around, but you have to sprinkle in some reserves (one league start for Frattesi, for instance, is disgusting) here and there.
If anyone, the man who saw his on-paper Scudetto-favorites lead the league and then burnout in Winter 2022 certainly should have been the one to learn his lesson. Seems he hasn't.

Very, very worrying if the tactic - or lack thereof - from now untill sommer regarding squad rotation is to just keep betting on his 11 strongest horses untill they drop dead.

I’m guessing this is more from management wanting the prize money. I doubt Inzaghi or anyone else gives half a shit about a Super Coppa semi.

On the topic of not giving a shit, who’s got some streams for us

He should've start Buchanan or Dumfries, and Frattesi too.

Guess we’re playing our strongest team here. I get it; it’s probably best to keep our starters sharp with not many games lately. I do hope he we rotate a bit for the final though if we make it through.

Inter's line-up suggests they are going for it. I'd would liked to have seen Bisseck and Frattesi start, but oh well.
