Chiellini must play

I can't remember how many times I posted it

I want him to play to. But alas the Don Roberto will probably pick matterazi who isn't even half match fit.

He should play, as a LB.

his strength and aerial ability will be useful given Scotland will see set pieces as the best chance to score.

 

[Juve per sempre]

thank you. this is my favorite thread.
btw I would start something like this

------------------Buffon
Oddo------Canna---Chiellini-----grosso

-------De rossi------Pirlo-----Gattusso

---------------------Rosina

------------Di natale------Toni

I predict a 1-1 draw or a 1-0 win for Italy. Sorry to juve red but i just can't see a Scotland win.

WoW,do u really expect Rosina to start against Sotland,as much as like the boy but he has no chance in hell to start this one.

I think Oddo is injured!

Oddo is meant to recover in time.

 

[JuveAdam]

Rosina to start? In a game of this importance? No chance in hell, not even with Donadoni in charge.

Italy: Don picks Palladino
Sunday 11 November, 2007

Roberto Donadoni has called Raffaele Palladino and Alberto Gilardino for the Euro 2008 qualifier in Scotland, but not Alessandro Del Piero.

Under-21 international forward Palladino receives his debut senior cap for the crucial matches against Scotland and the Faroe Islands, as he is preferred to Juventus teammate Del Piero.

Palladino has recently been playing as a wide midfielder in Turin – a role Del Piero has refused to perform for the Azzurri – and it is likely Donadoni wants him to continue in that position.

Gilardino is back in the side, although he missed today’s trip to Atalanta due to an ankle injury, while Mauro Camoranesi and Gianluca Zambrotta return from injury.

Fiorentina revelations Franco Semioli and Riccardo Montolivo were in the squad for the friendly against South Africa last month, but are not included here.

The Azzurri will meet up at the Coverciano training ground on Monday afternoon and fly out to Glasgow on Friday.

The potentially decisive Euro 2008 qualifier with Scotland is on Saturday evening at 17.00, while on Wednesday November 21 Italy welcome the Faroe Islands to Modena’s Stadio Braglia.

Italy squad
Goalkeepers: Amelia (Livorno), Buffon (Juventus), Curci (Roma);
Defenders: Barzagli (Palermo), Bonera (Milan), Cannavaro (Real Madrid), Chiellini (Juventus), Grosso (Lyon), Oddo (Milan), Panucci (Roma), Zambrotta (Barcelona);
Midfielders: Ambrosini (Milan), Camoranesi (Juventus), De Rossi (Roma), Gattuso (Milan), Perrotta (Roma), Pirlo (Milan);
Forwards: Di Natale (Udinese), Gilardino (Milan), Iaquinta (Juventus), Lucarelli (Shakhtar Donetsk), Palladino (Juventus), Quagliarella (Udinese), Toni (Bayern Munich).

[Red]

With the number of forwards he has in the squad I would guess he is plannning 4-3-3.

With the number of forwards he has in the squad I would guess he is plannning 4-3-3.

Or a 4-2-2-2. Either way, its an attacking squad.

 

[Red]

Heres the Scotland squad:

Goalkeepers
Craig Gordon (Sunderland) Excellent
David Marshall (Norwich City) Dodgy
Allan McGregor (Rangers) Dodgy

Defenders
Graham Alexander (Burnley) Shite and past it
Gary Caldwell (Celtic) dodgy
Christian Dailly (West Ham United) past it
Alan Hutton (Rangers) fast, strong, postionally horrible
Jay McEveley (Derby County) pish
Stephen McManus (Celtic) decent
Gary Naysmith (Sheffield United) shite
David Weir (Rangers) old and incredibly slow

Midfield
Scott Brown (Celtic) very good
Barry Ferguson (Rangers) OK
Darren Fletcher (Manchester United) good
Paul Hartley (Celtic) ok
Lee McCulloch (Rangers) big, strong, no football ability
Stephen Pearson (Derby County) see above
Barry Robson (Dundee United) ok, but hot headed
Gary Teale (Derby County) shite

Forwards
Craig Beattie (West Bromwich Albion) Fast, shite
Kris Boyd (Rangers) good finisher, nothing else
James McFadden (Everton) good
Shaun Maloney (Aston Villa) ok, lightweight
Kenny Miller (Derby County) fast, shite
Garry O’Connor (Birmingham City) strong, nothing else.

How could Italy possibly not beat this team?

 

[HelterSkelter]
