Coppa Italia: Juventus - Empoli [Jan 15, 2008] (3 Viewers)

[ZAF3000]

I'm waiting for another show by Giovinco.

Same here....

The problem we are facing is, lately DP has been the only creative player. So if DP doesn't start or doesn't play this game I won't be so optimistic about our display.
Del Piero cannot play all Serie A and Coppa games, this way he won't be fit on tough clashes.
I think Palladino should get a chance to start this game.

Start Palla and Iaquinta and rest one of Del Piero or Trez.

I don't think that we have many games in a row to rest players, and for now as it seems, we won't win the championship , so we must give more effort to win coppa italia.

 

[Iaquinta09]

------------------- Buffon
Birindell--- Grygera -- Boum --- Chiellini
------------Tiago ------- Zanetti
Marchionni------------------------Palladino
------------Iaquinta----Trezeguet

 

[JCK]

Then I would go like this:

Buffon
Grygera Boumsong Chiellini Birindelli
Salihamidzic Tiago Nedved
Iaquinta Trezeguet Palladino​

 

[Osman]

They are showing this game live, and please tell me the thing about Giovinco not playing is totally bogus. He is like 80% of the reason I want to watch this game.

 

[Lion]

Then I would go like this:

Buffon
Grygera Boumsong Chiellini Birindelli
Salihamidzic Tiago Nedved
Iaquinta Trezeguet Palladino​

that's likely what we will see. Maybe even Belradi will make an appearance

 

[Salvatore]

Almiron gets to show is he a creative, attacking midfielder.

Buffon
Grygera-Boumsong-Chiellini-Birindelli
Brazzo-Tiago-Nedved
Palladino-Trezeguet-Iaquinta​

 

[Lion]

Almiron is suspended.

 

[Salvatore]

Changed.

 

[Gill_juve]

Almiron gets to show is he a creative, attacking midfielder.

Buffon
Grygera-Boumsong-Chiellini-Birindelli
Nocerino-Tiago-Nedved
Palladino-Iaquinta-Trezeguet​

switch trez with iaquinta's position imo

 

[JCK]

Nocerino is injured

 

[Thunderball]

------------------- Buffon
Birindell--- Grygera -- Boum --- Chiellini
------------Tiago ------- Zanetti
Marchionni------------------------Palladino
------------Iaquinta----Trezeguet

That is essentially what I would play... except I would make two changes...

------------------- Buffon
Grygera--- Boumsong -- Chiellini --- Salihamdizic
------------Tiago ------- Zanetti
Marchionni------------------------Palladino
------------Iaquinta----Trezeguet



This is a pretty reckless midfield by Ranieri standards, but they need goals, so I'd opt for two offensive wingers, a playmaker like Tiago and rely on Zanetti to keep the midfield cohesive.

Boumsong and Grygera is just too weak of a CB combo, and even a depleted Empoli could have their way with that... Chiellini must be in the middle. Nedved and Del Piero in as needed.

 

[Salvatore]

Sheeesh!

 

[Lion]

alot of people have been demanding Palla to start as a forward. I think this is the best chance to see if he really is good to use there...

 

[rvi]

what exactly is legro ill with? the flu or is he still sufferring from saturday's game?

 

[Mark]

boh, anyway...let's get it over with and bow out gracefully vs Empoli instead of Inter. That way our Walmart management will see that we need CHAMPIONS in the squad.

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

if it takes a hat-trick from giovinco for the management to bring him back in january, please let the game end 5-3

 

[Mark]

fucking goltv is showing the game too...... Does rai have the rights for coppa italia games? or will they only show the final like last year?

gotta love GolTV, RAI don't have them yet. Anyway, RAI's image quality

 

[suligodsilla]

ok i hope boumsong plays and gives his best....i would welcome a good display from him.....

 

[Elvin]

If Buffon puts his mind on it, I'm sure he'll keep the clean sheet and make his defenders work for him. So all we gotta do is find the net...
