When he "did it before" though, it was for a brief part of one match. He did make a nice cross to Amauri (for a goal) in that game, you're right. However, I certainly wasn't convinced on him playing additional minutes there.
Giovinco can cross better then DC, he's a better passer who's got more pace and better ball skills. Obviously he doesn't provide the same support for whoever plays RB, but he might be able to help alleviate a great deal of pressure by simply going forward. Our width is brutal right now.
Either way, I think we agree that Marchionni needs to take a seat.

The match is too open in the first 15 minutes of the second half. Both we and Chelsea attack and i don't see Chelsea sitting back and defending.
4-3-1-2
The same i said about 4-3-3. I fear about conceding in the first half. It may bring us the result or it may kill us very early. It's the flanks that i fear of. If we have 3 DMCs then Molinaro will be alone against Chelsea's RB and their MR while Mellberg will be alone against the LB and ML.
But like i said, the risk may bring us the result. Now it all depends on Ranieri and how brave (some may say crazy) he is.

Again we come to our disagreement, I will never bench Amauri 
Long ball may be the way to go.
Chelsea will pack the midfield, so booting the ball long to whatever combination of Amauri, Trez and Iaquinta may not be a bad idea.
It would need Del Piero and others to get close to them to make use of knock-downs, though.
Hope?
Why don't you expect it, you negative bastard.

Hoping for a 3-1, hat trick by Trezeqoal

True he was lucky against Bremen, and he did pass Real Madrid btw but still I don't see Ranieri doing anything better than Capello in CL not that I am complaining about it, but he is no better, he is still at second stage and could be eliminated from a team that I doubt they are going to make the final..

Far be it from me to wax about the glories of Ranieri's tactical supremacy.
But given the squad we have now, Capello at the helm would be a guaranteed exit -- a telegraphed disaster we could not stop. There's still a chance we can salvage something out of this with Ranieri.
Yeah tiago is so creative he has created 4 goals in 2 years and has scored 0 goals. A real asset to the cause 
Last year camo played more resularly, nedved was a year younger as was del piero, zanetti also played almost every game - he was our most creative player. NEXT PLEASE!
And no serie a is not a shit league, but the top 4 are not as strong as the top 4 of england, that has been proven over the last few years and is mainly attributable to calciopoli and billionaire's swarming the prem. And exactly, milan are only 2 points behind us, so we're not really that amazing are we....

the only positive thing i can take from this game is, that hopefully you saw how your creative wonderboy did crap tonight. he had exactly 3 good chances to create something approx. 30 metres away from goal and he fucked up three times.. most of the time doing a pass to the opponent, even when the strikers where not farer away than 10 to 15 metres
