i think we need to still play the 4-4-2, but shift zambrotta to left midfield and play pessotto at left back. reasoning is that becks needs to be tagged really well, and i think pessotto has played on him and can do that better than zambrotta who will most likely push up more.
Also, Di Vaio has to play as his pace will trouble man utd. counter-attack will be used IMO and there is no man utd defender who can really match his pace, maybe Brown, thats if he plays. the beauty about Di Vaio is that he is fast, but can also be good in the air, and that will trouble them.
Tudor has to play as well, IMO. we need his height to stop those crosses. and his strength and height is good for RVN as well.
I would have camoranesi and zambrotta on the wings so we can get plenty of crosses in for trezeguet and di vaio who are both good in the air.
In the middle, nedved and davids would be good to play. nedved attacking more and davids defending and biting at keane and scholes. Veron isnt playing which isnt a good thing as i think man utd still look more balanced when scholes and keane are in the middle. Nedved and davids are hard working midfielders who are able to counter attack well and this is why i choose these too. Also, man utd with keane and scholes dont have a lot of height in their midfield, and tacchinardi wont really be needed for that attribute.
Thuram would take on giggs and should be able to do a good job. tudor and montero would have the jobs on RVN and solksjaer, or forlan for that matter. pessotto on becks, i like that idea as pessotto is more conservative than zambrotta is. birindelli...well, although he has been okay this season, he still lets in too many crosses and with becks, we cannot afford to have that.
di vaio and trezeguet upfront. Trezeguet is brilliant, and as long as you supply for him, he will score. Di Vaio like i said would be purely for tactical reasons, which would be counter attack. And Lippi will use that to stretch man utds defence and even to make keane sit back more and not push forward.
Also, expect juve to push out wide so players like ferdinand will have to force himself out wide and out of the box. its a ploy that lippi uses a lot when he knows that the other team has a tall defence or good air defenders, which i think man utd kind of have.
not much else really....all that is my opinion anyway.
so here is the team:
-----------------buffon
thuram------tudor------montero-----pessotto
camoranesi----nedved----davids-----zambrotta
-----------------trezeguet----del piero
and when comparing the two, as far as form goes this season.
buffon-barthez = buffon
thuram- neville = thuram
tudor - ferdinand = ferdinand, but tudor hasnt played
montero - o'shea = montero
pessotto- silvestre = silvestre
camoranesi - becks = camoranesi wins this season, but becks is playing good again now.
nedved-scholes = nedved is having a great season.
davids- keane= Davids has played great, but keane hasny played much this season.
Zambrotta- giggs= zambrotta is playing good now but hasnt played much this season. Giggs has been out of it this season, but like becks, he is slowly finding form.
Trez - RVN = RVN has had a good season and trez hasnt really played much this season.
Di Vaio - forlan/solks = forlan and solks are playing better.
However, all that means nothing, its how the team is playing together at the moment and i think both are playing well. Juve without del piero isnt the same though and i think that man utd dont suffer without veron as scholes can cover him.
