Buffon
Grygera/Caceres - Legro - Chiellini
Candreva - Melo - Marchisio - PDC/Gio.
Amauri - Del Piero​
It's much more likely to be like this:

Buffon
Grygera- Legro - Chiellini
Caceres - Melo - Marchisio - PDC/Gio.
Amauri - Del Piero

Makes no sense to call the subs beforhand.

However, hes has been talking about the defense, I could actually see him abandoning the 3 man defense. Well maybe at least if Camoranesi enters. I would't be surprised to see:

Buffon
Caceres - Legro - Chiellini - PDC
Candreva - Melo - Marchisio
Dieo
Amauri - DP

He already abandoned the 3-men-defense two matches ago.

I'm a bit scared of this game, maybe because of the Bayern game, I don't know.

Ajax are by no means Bayern, yet us going into a game with an advantage completely creeps me out. Obviously the situation is different, not only are Ajax not quite Bayern, but this time we actually won our away game, meaning they would have to beat us 2-0 at home to progress over us.

One part tells me there's no way we'll give that away at home, but at the same time there's a small part of me that fears a defensive attitude against Ajax' fast strikers. Surely the players remember that game though, and won't underestimate this game.

I just hope to see some improvement in the football we play again, as we did in the last game imo. Against Bologna we combined pretty well at times, but not close enough to be considered good football obviously, as the passing only lasted a few minutes when we managed it. I think that, especially in the first half, we saw less long balls and tried to play the game though.

Let's have confidence and calm take over and play football for a change. Forza Juve!

Sadly, I have to agree. It's good to see we've gone back to the 4 man defense, atleast for the biggest part of games.

I just hope we'll field a team capable of playing football, instead of having a midfield with all destroyers or runners, without any passing abilities:

Sali - Melo - Momo

That would be asking for trouble, as Ajax can quickly move into their attacking play from the bad passes in midfield, their pace on the counter can really destroy us. I hope Camo makes it. I'd like to see:

Camo - Melo - Marchisio

We need to keep it tight for the first 20 minutes, the only plus side I can think of is that Diego will have alot of space but knowing Jol he'll put a player shadowing him all the time.

We are qualifying hopefully. Del Piero and Diego to make some sex bomb show.

We are going through and Inter will wave goodbye soon. I like it.

Isn't there a bit of confusion about that, the start of the Ajax game was a 3 man D wasn't it?
I guess only the players and Zac knows it.
I think it's a 4 men defence with defensive RB/offensive LB combo. Grygera almost always stays back, and when PDC makes his run forward, we have three at the back, with Chiellini going slightly left. And the right CM has the duty to attack on the right flank.
