It's not a risk, just doesn't make sense based on the last game. If we are struggling to create after 60 minutes then it makes sense to bring him on and then go from there, maybe then he'll stay in the team for a few games and people will be in the Marchisio or Melo thread saying they should play next game :D
that's easy, marchisio should play every game:D

That kinda limits our options :D
:dielaugh:
Difficult, how can we pre-empt these things? I'm thinking back to previous games with Palermo, when they ran right through our midfield also, Melo - Marchisio definitely suits us better from that perspective but if we are trying to dictate play and they are getting more behind the ball and countering on the flanks then maybe Aquilani would come in and we would have Pepe protecting Grygera more.
They ran through our midfield just like any other team has because we have been horrible in possession. We don't really make it difficult when we are the ones doing all the work trying to get the ball back after we lose it. Teams have been able to play their own game because we basically help them do it with our possession problems. For a change we need to be the smart ones and control the game through the midfield, by passing and possession.

Did it occur to you that they played so well on Sunday considering that Udinese is last and hasn't played well yet? :analcanon:

Well considering that there were only two games prior to their result against us to put them last, we could easily have lost on another day.
We could have easily lost on another day, yes, with the same players playing. That is my point. The whole team played well at the weekend and we didn't win 4-0 with only Melo and Marchisio doing all the work, it was a united team effort.


Damn you are persistent. It is stressing me out.:irritated

Indeed, it is a problem. Let's get Ibra but play Amauri because he scored twice in one game earlier this season...perhaps the streak could continue?

Also it would be different if it was something like Ibra vs Iaquinta. Aquilani isn't that much better than our other CM's (except Sissoko)

Aquilani is the superior player if everyone is at their normal level but we don't knoe Aquilani's form at the moment. We also don't know whether or not Melo and Marchisio can put in another great performance. So let's start with Melo and Marchisio again to show everyone that playing well is rewarded in this team. Let's see how well they play and bring Aquilani in as a sub and see how well he plays. Then we can decide again for the following match.
