eeeeh ! watch your words, fratello !

Ya, on current form Busquets is deservedly starting ahead of Mascherano too. He'd start not because of his name, but because ability wise, he is a lot better than all of Juve's central mids, and theres a bigger possibility that he would play better than them

Good. So we agree that right now, he is not playing better than our midfielders and wouldn't improve the midfield.

 

[Fred]

Ya like we agree that right now Abou Diaby is playing better than De Rossi too, doesn't mean i'd think twice about shipping Diaby's arse back to France if we got the chance to sign De Rossi.

Point is, its only barely been a couple of months into the season. Melo/Marchisio having better seasons up to this point than De Rossi means very little in the general scheme of things.

I hate to use the old cliche "form is temporary, class is permanent", but in this case it is very applicable.

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

I don't know about Diaby, but De Rossi has been cack for a long time now. If you wanna know how long, ask Dusan :tongue:

But the main point is, Roma's midfield is not better than ours. Geez, they barely even have a midfield these days.

P.S. Their best performance of the season was without DDR

 

[Fred]

De Rossi has been especially cack this season though. He has been off form for a couple of years true, but this season he has been quite poor in some of the games i've watched.

Last season he wasn't on form, but he was definitely better than both Melo and Marchisio thats for sure.

Personnel wise or on paper Roma's midfield is better than Juve's, whether they function better as a unit is up for debate, especially this season.

 

[swag]

That's good.

OK, so I wasn't the only one who first thought the miracle was Moggi showing up in their stadium.

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

You're thinking about 2 good players in their midfield, Pizarro and DDR. And Pizarro, yeah he would start for us, but he is a bit overrated here. What about the rest of theirs versus ours?

Krasic--Melo--Aqua--Marchisio

Taddei--Pizarro--DDR--Brighi

On paper, we win. In reality, we win.

Menez starts for them a lot more than Taddei and Brighi do mind you. Also you're forgetting Perrotta.


If we were to make a four man midfield of Juventus and Roma, personally i'd go for De Rossi and Pizarro as central mids, with Krasic and Menez on the wings.

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

Still weaker. And if you add Perrotta, even worse.

 

[Fred]

Its quite close, but like i said, if i had to choose a four man midfield, only Krasic would make it from Juve. I don't think any of Juve's central mids are as good as Pizarro and De Rossi. You can make an argument for an on form Melo, but then again, how often do you see an in form Melo. He hasn't performed consistently enough for Juve, even though he has had a good start to this season.

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

Forget the names then. You have to agree that our midfield as a whole is better.

[Quetzalcoatl]

I'd put Melo or Aquilani instead of Pizarro. But again, that's on paper. In practice, Juve mid > Roma mid.

 

[Red]

Pizzaro is an outrageously good player.

I would argue he was the best midfielder in Serie A last season.

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

I don't like him much.

 

[Red]

I don't like Xavi, but I'm not going to say he isn't one of the best midfielders in the world.

 

[Gabriel]

Pizzaro is an outrageously good player.

I would argue he was the best midfielder in Serie A last season.

I've found that he's very underrated over here, he's very good distributing and controlling in midfield, his passing is top notch and he's no slouch defending either.

He's been Roma's big man in midfield for a while. Marvelous player.
