Would be a very good formation, we will be counter attacking most of the time and with the pace of Vinni and Gio, would be good to see how Giovinco plays a more freely attacking role
Manninger
Grygera Melberg Legrottaglie Molinaro
Camoranesi Sissoko Marchisio De Ceglie
Iaquinta Giovinco

This will be very difficult game, and if we win i will be very surprised..
Most important will be not to get any injured players. Someone mentioned that Sissoko should get yellow so that he would be sidelined against Bate..Im strongly against that, as we will have only Marchisio as DM..Yes we could play Nedved , but hey..Why push our players so hard in game just before Milan's?
we have 4 seria A matches before dec-Jan holiday...
Regina home
Lecce Away
Milan Home
Atalanta away
Im expecting 9 points from those 4 gamns, and we should be in 2nd position probably.
Even 0:0 agains Zenit would be great result for us..but no injuries please..
Forza Juve

Our left flank is fast, but pretty weak, from the right side, we have Camo, that would be interesting.
This is not our secondary team, it only lacks our forward line and the tired Neddy.
Hopefully, this team will hold her ground and grab a draw!
Our serie A title chance, are lost a long time ago,being Juve means we cant retreat though, but we have to be wise and set our priorities.
We dont have any CL either, but we know have the chance to top the group and face a team who barely made it the second round. That would increase our chances in going forward.
As for the serie A, i believed from the beginning of the season that Milan will outrank us in the table and is till believe its inevitable by the end of the season, no matter what happens at the derby. I dont see winning and i dont believe that we will accept another defeat. I see us drawing both of these games and keep a balance to both campaigns...

I think I will have to disagree with you here bro.... Scudetto is lost when it's lost mathematically, at least to me. The first 19 rounds in Serie A isn't over yet and we already lost/loosing hope?
I can understand that you and many others try to be realistic and that is very appreciated I have to say because it keeps the balance here in the forums.... But even If we know that our Serie A chances are not as Milan or Inter's chances of winnning it, there's no point to loose hope and give up.
I don't want to sound like a priest or anything, but thats the best part in Football to me. Each 3points we make is gold, the table can turn around anytime anyday. Inter are facing Napoli and Lazio in the next two matches, and I can pretty much assure you that they're not running with 6points. Thats an example.
Nothing is lost. Inter game lost probably came at a good timing though loosing to our most hated rival is disgusting, but it came at the right time. I'll call this a wake up call more. We win against small teams, we know how to deal with the bigger ones and we'll be discussing more in May, hopefully.

With any other coach(not too bad though) with the same players I would have said 'it's not over till it's over', regarding the Scudetto; but with Ranieri I just can't say the same.
Like Buffon said some weeks back, we stand a better chance winning the CL than the Scudetto so I am really eager to see how we do away to Zenit. It's going to be very hard; but I am not sure if I want Juve to win this, because I too want to see a AC Milan vs Real Madrid UEFA cup final.
