[SERIE A] Fiorentina - Juventus (31st August, 2008) (20 Viewers)

[Alen]

But this is season opener, i think its too soon for Ranieri.

Plus, Giovinco missed 90% of Juve's pre-season.

Lets all pray that Sali doesn't start this match.

Ranieri seems to see something in him, constantly playing him in preseason friendlies. So thats why i expect him to start.

 

[X Æ A-12]

I don't know what Ranieri has planned but I would play this:
---------------Buffon

Grygera---Leggro--Mellberg---De Ceglie

--------------Marchisio--Poulsen

---Camo---------------------------Giovinco

--------------Del Piero---Amauri

True that.... I don't know what he sees in him.

 

[Bjerknes]

So you can play one whatever on the right side and another whatever on the left side. It's all simple.

True. Keep it simple, I suppose.

 

[JCK]

It gets complicated with Sali getting the nod ahead of Giovinco though.

 

[Ahmed]

Brazzo ahead of Giovinco would be pretty fucked up, lets hope C-Ra has other ideas...sadly he won't

 

[Cronios]

He cant because of Sissoko's absence and Molinaro's presence...

 

[Ahmed]

we got Poulsen for the dirty work in the MF...would like to see C-Ra take a bold decision and go for the win iinstead of the safer and reliable option

 

[Cronios]

With a such a defense, one DM is not enough, esp now, without Chiellini,
CR is not bold enough to try such an offensive scheme against such a strong team, risking to lose the opener of the championship.
He wants our midfield to be our first line of defense and Giovinco can help that,
neither can Molinaro cover him.
If CR is bold enough he could use the trident!

 

[JCK]

He will not use a trident in our first match, an away game and against a tough opponent.

 

[Ahmed]

the trident would be too much for an away match...Giovinco ahead of Sali would already be a significant move

Long time since we agreed on some Juve related matter, Doc. :malt:

 

[Cronios]

Yeah, i know that was too optimistic, thats why i added IF.
Chances are that he will not start with a trident but he might change his mind during the game, esp if Fiorentina scores first... or if they get a red card.

Long time since we agreed on some Juve related matter, Doc. :malt:

We agree more than you think, but i rarely make an intervention when i agree with someone, it makes the dialog too boring

 

[Bjerknes]

This is going to be an awesome weekend. First Penn State American football game on Saturday (will be at the stadium) and then the Juve match against Viola on Sunday.

 

[Stephan]

Something tells me you might not feel awesome after the juve match

 

[JCK]

Something tells me you might not feel awesome after the juve match

I am expecting us to lose the game so anything better than that is a joy.

 

[Bjerknes]

Something tells me you might not feel awesome after the juve match

Yes, but on Monday morning. We're tailgating before the game Saturday at 7am and I intend to be drunk until Monday.

 

[DelpieroForLife]

I bet Ranieri would opt to start with Sali rather than Giovinco.

Sounds so much like a Ranieri.

 

[Red]

I wouldn't have any problem with him going with the safe option to start with.

If needs be Giovinco can come on at half time or whenever he is required.
