We're going to get raped on the flanks.

Indeed. I think we need to score a goal at least.

My prediction 2-1 to Ajax.

 

[Dominic]

We have no other better option but to start with 3defenders. Stop complaining.

Yes we do we can simply play 4 at the back. Our best midfielder is finally an option (Sissoko Melo Marchisio) and we don't play it...

Not really. We seem to fail to dominate the middle with three midfielders in-case you didn't notice. We need 4 in the middle, and there's no other option than playing 3 at the back to play with 4 midfielders.

 

[Dominic]

Sissoko Melo Marchisio is a monster of a midfield. Physically it doesnt get much more dominating. We've seen it only once this season, vs inter and hey.. we won that game.

 

[Nicholas]

Anyways, Forza Melo tonight.

What do you mean?

These are the called players for this match:

GK: Buffon, Manninger, Pinsoglio
DR: Caceres, Zebina, Grygera
DL: Grosso, De Ceglie
DC: Chiellini, Legrottaglie
MC: Felipe Melo, Marchisio, Sissoko
MR: Salihamidzic, Camoranesi
ML: Giovinco
AMC: Diego, Candreva
FC: Del Piero, Amauri, Trezeguet, Paolucci

The only players who won't go to Amsterdam are Cannavaro, Poulsen, Chimenti and Iaquinta.

I can think of at least 5 better formations with the available players, than a 3 men defense formation.

Or were you joking?

 

[Azzurri7]

I'm not talking about the possible formations that we can play. I'm talking about the way we're playing. We have played all season with 3 midfielders and we failed way too many times. With 4midfielders we seem to cover well the middle and the players look closer than each others, capable of making short passes.

 

[Salvatore]

Wow I never realised.

Buffon
Cáceres-Legrottaglie-Chiellini-De Ceglie
Sissoko-Melo
Camoranesi-Diego-Giovinco
Trezeguet​

It's possible to play that tonight.

 

[solo JUVE.....!]

pls pls move Caceres to RCB and play Camo and Gio for Sali and DC

+1
I know that won't happen though. WTF is his problem with Gio??!

But what exactly do you mean by 4 midfielders? 4 players who cover the midfield or our best 4 midfielders?
Because 2 of our 4 midfielders in Zacc's formation are De Ceglie and Caceres.

It is but both Del Piero and Amauri had great games last game so I would stick with what we have at the moment. I would like to see Cacares in defence and Camo in the RM spot though.

Also, we achieved that with 4-2-3-1. To move the ball better, create and score more. We did it too with the 4-2-3-1 and it looked much better than the 4 men midfield in 3-4-1-2.

Remember not playing Gio is part of 'The Project'

i say we have to win this ... our quality should be that much above theirs, that we should win this ... but sadly with all the crap happening lately we do not live in the should-country anymore ...

i am still saying ... anything less than a win is disappointing and you guys how count on a draw or something [ANDY]are just EMBRACING MEDIOCRITY and fucking IDIOTS ![/ANDY]

(man how long i wanted to write this ha ha ha)

Or, if you'd care not to speak out of your ass, you'd notice that he actually almost always is quite a fullback for Italy, Euro2008 being a good example. And it was two years after the world cup.

Answers it beautifully. Grosso is always a top-notch fullback with Italy... perhaps he thrives under Lippi, more than any of our current coaches? If I remember correctly, he did not perform that well for Inter, either, and was sold right after he won the World Cup 06.

Would love to see this


How long until kickoff?

 

[Wahdan]

2 hours and 10 minutes, I guess.

 

[Esteban]

Or... let's just play a 4-4-2 and see how that works out.
