Lazio are tactically one of the best sides in Italy or tactically well-equipped i'd rather say.They kinda mirror Juve in some aspects to be honest.Klose is fit and fine for now ,so i am not surprised to see them doing so well.If Klose stays fit until the end of the season,no doubt they'll make the CL.

And if you go by squad strength to judge them ,none gave us a chance either to win the Scudetto at the start of last season.Tactics and mentality is as important as just having quality players in your team.

A defense comprising of Radu,Dias,Biava,Konko is unspectacular but solid enough for the league.Also they have Marchetti in goal who's been the best keeper in Serie A this season.In midfield they have Hernanes who is borderline WC,the consistent Ledesma ,a reborn Candreva and the underrated Mauri,So its not like they lack quality overall.On paper they might not be intidimating but they are a very very hard side to beat ,kinda how like the elite sides of Europe look at Juve tbh plus they have players who can actually make the difference in Klose and Hernanes.

It's the midfield that really impresses me.

With Ledesma, Hernanes, Gonzalez and Mauri, they have a bunch of players who understand how to position themselves properly and how to retain possession in tight spaces.

That makes it very tough for the opponents to put the defence under serious pressure.

The defence, largely due to the lack of pace at CB, looks pretty vulnerable on the odd occasion that the midfield fails to give them proper protection.

Oh, and it looks like I might be going to Rome for the derby at the start of April.

Fucking tyrant.

Now comes the famous, he's not Che post.

 

[Turk_Bianconero]

I know it is coming but it matters little since it looks like Che for everyone else.

 

[Hust]

So we have a psycho still in charge of the League.


Great news. More people to piss off.

Ciani is quite fast for a CB to be honest.

I certainly prefer their style of play.

I was rubbing shoulders with the man in my 'tar at an event on Friday night.

Ciani is quite fast for a CB to be honest.

He is, but he's behind Dias in the pecking order.

Despite Dias being the better player, you could make quite a strong case for Lazio being a better team with Ciani in it.

Born in 1950
Old farts have way too much power in Italy.

Our 4-3-3 of least season was way better than Lazio's style though, I wish we'd go back to that. That was some of the best football I've ever seen.

Yeah, it was great to watch.

Buffon
Lichtsteiner-Barzagli-Bonucci-Chiellini*
Vidal-Pirlo-Marchisio*
Giovinco-Matri/Immobile**-Vucinic​

*Once they are fit
**If we bring him back

Giovinco obviously doesn't offer the defensive work that Pepe did but I'd be willing to take that risk. I think we should try that.

 

[Red]

Giaccherini in for Giovinco.

 

[Trequartista]

 

[LiquidPLP]

It's a good tactical ability to use him there - he's got great stamina, he's not that bad there.

 

[Bianconero81]

Meh. Chiellini has to play @ CB. There's also no way we are going to bench Asamoah, so Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
