Lautaro + Sanchez does not work the way we play. We need Lukaku's physical presence and hold up play.

I would start Sanchez and Lukaku for this one and if we are not up by 2 goals by HT, throw in Martinez for a 3 man attack like today.

Only does not work if you try to hoof the ball to one of the strikers. If you play with the ball down, with midfielders who know how to play (Barella, Brozovic, Eriksen, Sensi) it's far better for us to move the ball up front by sitting deeper. Also means that ball stoppers like Young, D'Ambrosio, Gagliardini and Lukaku himself are not participating, otherwise the element of surprise and the fluidity of the ball and player movement goes out the window and we're exposed at the back.

A must win, fkn corrupt Rube will do anything to win scudetto. We must win every match against mid and bottom table clubs and hope those fuckers to fail against Atalanta, Napoli or Bbilan. Our game needs to improve. Plan B, C, doesnt matter, just beat those fuckers. Lets go!

Goddammit I miss Kovačić just as much as I miss Sensi. Bring that man back home so we can win Sassuolo 7-0 again!

Sassuolo are playing much more open football compare to Torino, so Lukaku and Perisic should have e good game. I hope our defense to be more concentrate than last couple of games.

I know we will score, it's been ages since we played and didn't score.

I just know Sassuolo will also score

Main objective is to manhandle locatelli, beat him to the ground, help him back up, and coerce him into joining us this summer.

Apparently Sassuolo will play against Torino in this mid-week. So they will have some of the players exhausted when we meet them next weekend.

Perfect. When it is your year, everything seems going to your direction.

Yeah perfect, just like when we faced an exhausted Udinese after their midweek draw with Atalanta. Oh, wait...

The worst part is we had to fight so hard to get a win against Torino, who were without their key players. Anyway, I hope we play well this time but what counts at the end is 3 points !!

Unless I read wrong, D'Ambrosio is in isolation, not the team.

Repubblica states again that all other players have tested negative. However, I can't tell from this piece of shit translation whether they're saying the players had another test today following the one yesterday. I would assume so. The players will have another test before the Sassuolo match. Seems Conte's pre-match press conference has also been cancelled.

It sounds like we should know more today once the precise COVID tests' results are returned (as opposed to the quick tests).

Don't have one.
I think I read somewhere molecular tests were negative as well, so we just need to wait for friday when the final testing is scheduled.
