I don't think that Ljungberg is a big loss to be honest. He provides workrate, but this is a different game to Madrid. What he has been offering this season isn't needed against the boys from Turin.
yeh, freddie has yet to score in the league. altho he has played well recently. but with reyes and hleb on the flanks it shouldnt be a big loss

AN opinion

With DP not starting the game, nothing has to change and a player with similar skills should start, Mutu. The key to winning the game is crowding the midfield and causing frustration for Henry as early as possible in the midfield, knowing he will goes back and takes his balls. The key for that is Blasi, we wll know what he did to Zidane in the encounter agaisnt Madrid last year.

Man management

Vieira has been highlighted a lot in this game and lots of pressure is being stacked on hsi shoulders. Simply, he should not start the game and I would start with Blasi instead. Yes Blasi and give him one role to frustrate Henry. Vieira can come in after Blasi receives a yellow card, he would come in with less pressure and more wish to prove something.

Exchanging roles

With Nedved being given a wide role (no one knows whw), I see Zambrotta as the only replacement for the blondie. NOT MUTU, he's not a winger and he is needed up front. With Zambrotta playing in the middle, this leaves us with Chiellini (a good perfornamce against Roma) in the left back and Zebina on the right side. Blasi's presence in the middle will help cover Zebina's weaknesses in defence.

Creativity

Zebina does a good job up the flank and therefore we don't need to limit Camoranesi's abilities by shutting him as a winger, thus he'll be give a free role more in the middle behinde the forwards. Mutu will be used as a support striker for Trezeguet. Mutu and Camoranesi will offer enough creativity and their position will minimize the use of the useless long ball. Trezeguet will receive more of the passes he wishes for and crosses from Zambrotta/Chiellini or Zebina.

Stability

This formation offers balance in termsn of defence and attack and the new roles and different distributions are easy to manoever to change the formation with minimal effort to whatever the game drifts to.

---------------Buffon------------------
Zebina Thuram Cannavaro Chiellini
---------Blasi Emerson Zambrotta--
---------Camoranesi-----------------
-----------------------Mutu-----------
--------Trezeguet--------------------​
good analyze but there is one tiny problem, ibrahimovic :smoke:

Does anyone in here remember Liam Brady

No, I was too young, BUT I do remember seeing him the last time Juve and Arsenal played at Highbury, I thought he was a complete cunt, totally ignoring people asking for his autograph.

Undoubtly a great player though.:agree:
