Henrikh Mkhitaryan

3-5-2.

For Kivu's men, Provadel in goal, backline of Bastogne, Akanji and Bissek, Carlos Augusto on the left, Diouf on the right, midfielder of Mkhitaryan, Cialinoglu and Barella, with Turam and Desposito starting up front together.

Rotated side, obviously, because of midweek action.

4-3-3 for Vanoli's men, De Gea in goal, backline of Jimenez, Dragosin, Pongracic and Valdapinas.

One of them has to do that.

Or, you know, when Mkhitaryan isn't on the pitch because he's too old or Zelinski or whoever, they need someone to step up with credibility in the squad.

And Turam is that guy.

But I don't have anything negative to say about Inter in this game at all.

So I'm fine if you want to limit him.

If you want to play Mkhitaryan over him because of that setup, I'm not going to complain.

But at the end of the day, we're wasting a roster spot on this guy right now.

We're wasting a year of his developments.

If we waited one more year, if that's actually what happens, then he should be on a loan somewhere because we need, we desperately need another box-to-box midfielder right now.

We've been playing Suchic and Barella a ton.

Mkhitaryan is really the only other healthy option.

Zielinski still doesn't have a great position in this team.

Yeah.

I saw someone say that Mkhitaryan, he giveth and he taketh.

Indeed he does.

That's exactly...

Uh, best goal scorer when it comes to inside the box and just finishing.

I think that's the thing that

because we know maybe some Inter fans don't give him the credit he deserves but I think especially us two we know that this guy is a bowler and that this guy deserves to start in Inter's midfield no matter what no matter Jones being fit or unfit no matter like Silinski, Mkhitaryan being there Suchic deserves to start at left or right centre mid whichever side it is you're right he's the guy that has that ability the most in terms of ball carrying in terms of like making that final push in the final third but also something that was so frustrating yesterday just shoot man just shoot he had one or two positions i just need to shoot like you're waiting on on being able to sweaty it's not always sweaty like just shoot you know i understand the creativity the creativity behind his actions but you're too selfless sometimes and it's like He's learned it before.

There was one or two goals where he actually learned to not be selfless and actually take the shot.

and got punished for one of them in terms of the header back to Alisson, which never got there.

And then Mkhitaryan finished it off from a tight angle.

And then they go 2-0 down.

What were the crowd like, Alan, with 2-0? You know, I'm in the co-coms box and I can hear these fans behind me.

Did you see the pass, Duncan? I didn't.

From Mkhitaryan.

Mkhitaryan.

Oh, lovely.

Gorgeous.
