CL: Juventus - Olympiakos (28 Viewers)

[Vinman]

Zala as a winger ???

Tudor as a midfielder ?????

we need a point here, and Lippi has decided to make things difficult......

Why not just put DP in as the goalkeeper too.....

[Zizou]

Vinman relax man, we just know that Zala is playing, we don't know where yet

 

[IceBlu]

Confirmed Lineup : (Football Italia)


Chimenti; Birindelli, Iuliano, Montero, Pessotto; Zalayeta, Conte, Tudor, Maresca; Trezeguet, Miccoli.




God help us...

Miccoli and Trezeguet up front may be good though. the rest of the lineup sucks.

 

[Henry]

uh-oh.....I am less sure of the result now

 

[Zizou]

Why what's wrong with that line-up?

 

[Stevie]

I dont understand this, why does Lippi never just field the full squad they hardly ever play together. The players dont understand each other as much as last year and they arent gonna unless they play together consistantly.
When we get to the next round it will be very difficult and its not as if the players need the rest (lippi feels as if they do after every ****en game they play! ). the likes of man u, madrid and milan are always playing thier full teams.

this is pathetic managing .

 

[Zizou]

You're only mentioning the negative sides of that tactic

Positive sides:

- Players are always fresh
- Less chances of injuries
- All players feel important and part of the first team
- If a first team player gets injured, his absence will be easily subsituted

Imagine if Real lose Zidane or Ronaldo, or MU lose RvN, or Milan lose Shevcenko. Do they really have adequate substitutes for those players? No they don't, they would lose a lot of quality.

 

[Trezeguet_FC]

So would we if we lost nedved, buffon, thuram etc. theres no way getting out of that. i think that lippi should start fielding a regular team so that they begin to understand each other. We would become more compact and our plays would go smoothly. Either way, if we loose one our key players we will loose quality...

 

[ancelotti]

I don't care who Milan meet....

you're both right.. However
I think what lippi should do is play with his best squad in big & important matches.. give a chance to some 2nd team players in easy matches.. in that way we have the advantages of both tactics..

 

[JuveBoy]

Stupid Lippi, this line up can never win the game, I don't understand why is Lippi doing this to us. Other teams give you players the chance to play and make some experience but in this lineup:
Chimenti; Birindelli, Iuliano, Montero, Pessotto; Zalayeta, Conte, Tudor, Maresca; Trezeguet, Miccoli
I don't see any young player.
I hope this game is the last game for Lippi, I am getting sick of him

Miccoli, Maresa, Zalayeta,...


hell even Trezeguet and Tudor are young...

 

[JuveBoy]

with young a mean at most 19 years old.

 

[IceBlu]

why would you want 19 year olds to start ? and which 19 year old do we have in the squad ?


What are you on about ?!

 

[JuveBoy]

No, man I just don't understand why Conte and pessatto and Birindelli are playing?

 

[IceBlu]

yeah :down: i agree... Birindelli is fine ... but i can't understand why conte is playing either.

 

[dpforever]

I think Zalayeta played well in the right wing against Siena (Coppa) as he set-up Benjamin's goal .. I'd say he's much more useful there than upfront, where Miccoli would be a constant headache for the Greeks ..


As for Conte, I also think he (unexpectedly) played well whenever given a chance, we can't blame Conte just because he's old .. JuveBoy, I agree Birindelli and Pessotto were terrible, but Conte wasn't ..


Besides, we don't know who - from the 26 Juve squad players - is on top form, only Lippi knows from the daily training sessions .. so he's in the best position to chose the right players at the right time ..


I also think Chimenti played well against Siena, but I'm sure he will anyway get critisized here and would be blamed for every goal he lets in whereas with Buffon, no it's the defence's fault

 

[LEC]

well the defense, the defense....! but with maresca and zalayeta in the midfield, good choice! they played both very well against galatasaray!
