Caceres - Canavaro - Chiellini - Grosso

Sissoko - Poulsen

Camoranesi - Diego - Giovinco

Amauri​

Of course it was a very tough call to replace Melo with Poulsen, but his recent displays suggest he needs more of a mental break. DP to replace Gio again after 50-55 min.

ps Oh, I forgot to mention that imo Chiellini and probably Grosso must rest after this game.

Exactly what I would play . Poulsen. Don't fuck with good form.

Amauri should cut his hair, it worked for DP two years ago

so do Tiago..

Hmmm, it's true that these two have been playing non stop since the start of the season.
Then again, there are players who can handle playing non stop without any problems at all (Lampard or Maicon for example) and players who are dead tired for days after playing 90 minutes at high tempo (Sneijder).
Giorgio and Grosso strike me as players who have no problems playing Wednesday/Sunday for months so Ciro should see if they need any rest at all.

We play Cagliari after Bordeaux and then we have a free week before Juve-Inter. Cagliari are in great form (4 wins in a row before the 3:4 defeat in Milan) and they're a tricky opposition. We'll probably need both Giorgio and Grosso there and afterall, the week following after the match in Sardegna might be more than enough rest for these two players of ours.

btw i have this match on tv, finally

Center backs don't generally "need rest" anyway, IMO.

Giving sub decision before the game start means nothing if it's not silly

 

[Salvo]

resting melo is the right choice IMO, he needs a mental and physical break.

You have a point, these two are horses indeed! But there is also a psychological moment in handling the whole team, where Ciro should show fate in all his players and let them know he is counting on them, no matter who the opposition is! I am reffering to Legro, who must be feeling quite awful not playing at all in pre WC year..Rotation(when used wisely and on time) will help him keep the team united, but I guess he knows best.

You are right! It was an exemplary suggestion in case everything goes well and no injuries or red cards are on hand!

Don't you realise how much of a mind ache that will cause for people on this forum?
Plus where is Diego going to play? You're either going to be repressing him because your playing him too deep, or he will be a fish out of water on the wing.

Who said anytihng about Diego playing

Buffon
Cackererz--Chiellini--Cannavaro--Grosso
Sissoko--Marchisio
Camoranesi---------------------Giovinco

Amauri--Del Piero​

 

[icemaη]

Marchi isn't match fit. Neither is DP. For arguments sake, I'd switch Marchi with Poulsen in the above formation and Caceras with Grygera.

You mean DP isn't fit to start or he's injured?

He isn't fit to start.

 

[Suns]

Don't bench players with questionable form, that could fuck them up big time. And Melo was really good the game before this one against Atalanta. I think he should play.

This team should probably start against Boredaux. 3 points is important. This team should be able to seal the points. Giovinco and Diego will probably give Boradeux a massive headache since they are without their best player Gourcuff. Substitutions can come in once everything is settled.

 

[YasoR17]

According to Tuttosport Sissoko and Poulsen will start in the midfield, and Legrottaglie might start. For who, I don't know.

Legro for Amauri :eyebrows:
