We could play Honda in midfield and Sharaawy, Torres, and Menez in attack.

I agree,
But I worry that Honda has improved since getting him in a role he relishes and if we play an attacking midfielder on top of the 3 attacking players will the other 2 midfielders be able to cope? If SES, and Menez can continue to press and track back then a total football Spain/Holland type style of play could work I guess. Will feel more confident when Monty returns. Would make a change to have a fun team to watch with a lot of quick play and attacking opportunities, but we need to have a solid defence and counter for this to work.

it's clear that two of the players we'd like to see leave are complete surpluss to requirements. Essien has no place in the side, he's back up to muntari, and muntari is simply functional. We can live without Mexes too, I get the feeling zapata is a bit hard to manage but if he is managed well he's actually a quality centre back in a time when good centre backs are rare. he's not world class but many teams have a lot worse.
wish we'd play cristante, the midfield could use a little more nuance and creativity.

Quote:Inzaghi: I knew it would have been a difficult match. The Milan DNA was evident today. I have 5 central defenders, all really good, let’s not forget Rami and Mexes. Today I needed to play Bonera left-back and he made himself available.

Absolutely loved the way we played for most of the match. Loved the intensity, the sacrifice and work rate.
Bravo Pippo! Forza Miiiilan!
I LOVE MILAN

I think we discussed Honda as mezzala before, but I'm not totally convinced as I think he's more decisive when closer to goal. Regarding a faster winger on the right, I think the common features on those we've generally been linked to this summer, like Cerci, Douglas Costa, Iturbe and Lestienne, is that all are left footed, able to take on their man and all have pace. I think these are features Pippo wants.

Am I the only one who saw some neck-hair-straightening allegri-remembering stuff on the pitch though?
I mean, inzaghi's and allegri's tactics are far from different and I hope inzaghi will better anticipate on other opponents...

I am with you. Inzaghi has not convinced me as a tactician, but he is certainly better at motivational stuff, and that seems to help a lot too in grinding out results.
