"Uefa have turned down a request by the Italians for the game to be postponed.

Juventus requested a postponement after an outbreak of influenza in their squad left coach Marcello Lippi with a severely depleted squad at his disposal - Lilian Thuram became the latest player to succumb to the virus on Wednesday."

it seemes as they have at least tried to postpone it...

That's the spirit Bongiovi :thumb:
I think we'll have to wait for the lineup coz Lippi might announce it at the last possible minute.

I'll do a man on man analysis

Buffon VS Barthez - 0.5 each
Thuram VS Neville - Juve
Zambrotta Vs Silvestre - Utd
Montero Vs Ferdinand - Utd
Iuliano Vs Brown - Juve
Camoranesi Vs Beckham - Utd
Giggs Vs Nedved - Juve(Giggs is out of form...)
Davids Vs Keane - Juve(keane is finished not the same who did the damage)
Tacchi Vs some crap - Juve (as Veron is out)
Di Vaio Vs Scholes - Utd
Trezeguet Vs RVN - Juve

Juve 6.5 - Utd 4.5
1-0 or 2-1 we will win

play all our infected players,see if they come near us then:D:D

imo we could play a couple of players with the flu,those who are not so badly struck i mean.who knows,it may well be the upset of the season!look,our second team won away(agaisnt kiev) when our first team has failed to do so in 6(i think) years,even with lousier opponents:Di look upon the game with relish;)

who knows,a penalty in our favour may well decide it.:cool:

Let's see who will be missing for the game:
Buffon, Thuram, Ferrara, Iuliano, Tudor, Birindelli, Zambrotta, Tacchinardi, Del Piero, Trezeguet, Di Vaio, Salas.

That leaves us with:
Chimenti, Montero, Fresi, Pessotto, Zenoni, Conte, Davids, Camoranesi, Nedved, Zalayeta and players from the Primavera side, like Bonnefoi, Paro etc.(what happened to Moretti?)

Our situation: Almost all our defenders and attackers are unavailable, plus Buffon. Only in midfield the situation isn't bad, as most of our players are available for the match.

That means: We will have to use the players that are available, and bring in some from Primavera. We will probably also need to change our formation.

How we could play: We could use a 4-1-2-1-2 formation with playing Davids as our ball winner in the middle, Conte on the left side(or swap him with Davids so Davids plays on the left) and Camo and Nedved would be our creative players(alternively also Davids). Zala would play with a Primavera striker, or we could perhaps bring in a Primavera midfielder, so that Zala would be our only attacker. In defence, Montero and Fresi would play in the centre, or perhaps Pesso along with Montero but then Fresi, Zenoni or a Primavera player(or Moretti?) would have to play on the left.
---------------Chimenti
-
Zenoni-Montero-Fresi-Pessotto
-
----------------Davids
-----Camo---------------Conte
---------------Nedved
-
---------------Zala-???

Conclution: As you all can see, our beloved team is in a huge crisis, maybe the worst in 10 years. A total of 12 players won't be able to play tonight, maybe more. Even Lippi is ill. There are no chances of winning, maybe not even getting a draw. So let's hope Moggi and co will finally understand how bad the situation is and postpone the match, or else...
