Maybe Giorgio needs rest. He's playing years now as a CB and he's not used to that much running as he has to do as a LB. Combine that with the yellow card danger and maybe that's why he won't play
if there was one of the defenders that needed a rest, it was lichtsteiner, and he is playing once again.
looking at the table today, i notice a few interesting things.
if we win this game, we are leading two points again on milan and udinese, but a serious gap is starting to form between these 3 teams, and the number 4.
we extend our gap to 7 points with a victory.
looking at the remaining fixtures of the first round (till 19th round), both milan udinese and juve have 1 hard match (inter, lazio and roma) and the rest beeing small teams.
it could be really interesting for the wintermercato budged, because we have a 7 point advantage into championsleague qualification.
moreso, on the 29th we face udinese, wich could allready decide who the top two is going to be.
finally: for italy, because they are our nicest rivals, and for the league points dropped offcourse, we should hope milan doing very well in championsleague
we really need to win today to keep the momentum
