Ever Banega will get the nod over Joao Mario to occupy the attacking midfield role against Empoli Gazzetta dello Sport understand. Gazzetta also believe Pioli will deploy his squad in a 4-2-3-1 like so,
Handanovic; Ansaldi, Miranda, Medel, D’Ambrosio; Kondogbia, Gagliardini; Eder, Banega, Candreva; Palacio

Banega is out of the squad knee sprain
I have nothing particularly against Palacio, as a person he is a great guy who trains hard through the week and a good professional alltogether.
Or as a general player,he still has some quality ,tactical sense and experience.
What is hard to understand is the reasoning behind having him play in the STARTING formation.
That ,to me, is just impossible to understand since you already know that you have to change him from the very beginning of the second half,when he starts looking like an extra of The Walking Dead, then Pioli obviously has to change him ..so Pioli starts with one change less available from the very beginning..
The starting XI should be made up ,as much as possible, only byplayers that are capable of running 90 minutes,and the palacios should only be replacements.
That’s ,so far,the only major disagreement I have with Mister Pioli.
great
I trust whoever the manager fields would be the best 11…though I would really rather nt see Palacio tbh
Same here.
I have to trust Pioli who knows a thousand times more than I.
Still..starting Palacio again?
that would be..hard to understand.
I don’t see how Palacio can deliver for the team in this kind of a game. Just play Eder as a striker and deploy J.Mario at the flank. He is versatile and his dribbling and smart movement will work there. Just think about the quality of the passes Eder would receive from J.Mario and Banega and not to forget Candreva ofc.
Right.
And Mario played left wing for Portugal Champion of Europe.
Palacio maybe as a replacement ,but as a starter Palacio makes no sense whatsoever,since he always has to be replaced at the beginning of the second half.
I do not understand Mister Pioli on this one.
..But what do I know?
