The problem with Pirlo is the game moves up and down the pitch while he stands still. So in order to involve him in the match we have to play at his pace. He is non-existent on counter attacks. Its like if a fan came onto the field and tried to run with the players.

Carvalho knew exactly what he was doing there. No chance at the ball, run across the player and hope to get lucky with contact. Absolute foul and probably a red card.

Abdennour is a wall.

My palms were dry but now that I see Pirlo in the lineup they are sweaty.

So 3-5-2 or 4-3-1-2. I would prefer 3-5-2 as opposed to 4-3-1-2 with Pirlo. He presents such a risk of conceding. Conceding at home is death.

How the fuck can you start Pirlo after all that time off against a counter attacking team? Max please. It's like the only way we can lose.

It's possible Sturaro is starting this one seeing as he got subbed around 65 min today.
