That is the kind of formation I thought. Only problem is that, IMO, Zanetti isnt probably good enough to assume the defensive responsibility by himself. But I do think players like Makoun is more than capable of being that man sitting just in front of defence and let things flow. Makoun...

Its not the distance of pass that matters. Beckam in that case would be the best play-maker in the world. You need to have variety of passes, and you need to disguise the pass well. Furthermore, in every build up, you need players who doesnt make great passes, but reads the flow of the pass...

I have always rated Amauri. If my memory serves me correct, he first arrived at the Penninsula with Matuzalem in Napoli, and they showed some promise so they got picked up by Parma, who then sent them on loan for eternity. So it isnt like Amauri soundly found talent and became good. He is one...

I don't know Mavuba too much, but either way, Diarra, Makoun, Mavuba or Bodmer, we can't loose.:lick: The boy seems to have unbelievable agility, so hopefully he can develop into our Essien.

Makoun is head and shoulders above all those shitty DMs patrolling in Barca shirt. If you hadnt noticed Makoun abused Carrick in the first leg of UEFA CL last 16.

I smell bust in Serie A for Frank Lampard. Put him into tactical Serie A system, then you will find Lampard makes less run into the box, which naturally means less goals. The fact is Lampard is more closer to forward than midfield in terms of contributions are concerned just as one should regard...

Lippi is the ultimate manager, but there is something in me that suggests Prandelli is the man we should go for. In terms of coaching point of view, I think he would walk all over Mourinho, Benitez, Spaletti, et al, and even better than Lippi. Only Wenger is capable of matching Prandelli's...

I think the biggest point of contention was the lenght of contract. My bet here is that Juve brass probably didnt want to give that contract extension to Deschamp. Couple that with the disagreement on transfer policy, its not hard to understand the tension and pressure Didi must have felt during...

I agree. Vialli was all heart less brain as a player. I have hard time imaging Vialli planning his way through the years. Lippi is a great signing, but I don't think it is guranteed as people make out. Professional level, I can't complain, but I will loose a lot of personal affection I have...

Criticism Didi received this year is just incomprehensible. What do people expect him to do? Win all the games in the season, and leave Serie B in a wake by Week 30? The purpose of this season was to achieve promotion, and that is what Deschamp has achieved this season. Oh he also managed to...

Shit. If Didi resigned because Secco thought Iaquinta, Frings, Pasqual were better than Huntelaar, Mavuba, and Heinze, I would be pretty pissed. Secco is a secret agent 007.

Rossi is highly underrated IMO. He has a pretty good track-record with limited resources throughout his career. Personally, I think he is a great manager, who really knows who to coach, in terms of bringing best out of his players, as well as managing team at an effective level. I loved the way...

I will loose all my respect for Lippi if he comes back. Didi has been Lippi's protege, and surely they must have some personal respect for each other considering what they achieved together as a captain and manager. Lippi may not have forced Didi's hand directly, but as a mark of respect, I...

Why do you support Liverpool when 30 Juventini were wiped out 21 years ago? I know its all history. I don't have any grudge against Liverpool, but to suggests that we should hate rival regardless of whatever context is just stupid. I like Juve because I like Juve; hatred comes around when...

Shit. I hope papers are wrong. Iaquinta is a horse in many aspects.

I will take Chivu over Mexes too. And I would swap Trez with Chivu. Right now, I think with likes of Bianchi, Huntelaar, Saviola, Pizarro on the wings, who can come in pretty cheap, they are players who gurantees goal even if they may not be prolificc as Trezeguet. But players of Chivu is...

You are certainly correct as you are most time. I have to give big props to Ambrosini, as not only he was their primary defensive unit at the back, he kept ball extremely well in contrast to his 3 midfield compatriots who were itching to give away the possession the moment they got it...

Well, I forgot about the first half. Yes. But in the second, I thought he was poor - not because he didnt lack effort, but he just isnt good enough to play in CL final. Then again, I am half a sleep with lots of drinks for whole entire freaking night so give me a break.:D

Our front management is mad if they are willing to splash that much for Iaquinta and yet decide not to exercise lesser some on more talented, younger, Bojinov. I am loosing faith in Secco. Might as well get Pizarro free.

Chivu won't be transferred, I agree. Rosella will be burned alive at the Vatican next day. I mean, you loose Chivu and Mexes, because you don't want to pay them as much as Hargreaves, Pizzaro, Lucas Neil? I cant stop laughing.
