Its ridicolous, he is way too important for our midfield, It was just 2 weeks ago he played 2nd half against Udinese and totally owned the midfield for us.
Momo is our best weapon to NOT get completely owned against their powerful midfield. One bad game, and he should be dropped? Ridicolous. Especially extra ridicolous when Melo who dissapoints more then be good nowadays, should start according to ya. Thats if anyone is who Poulsen should bench.

Trying something else I get, though its against the wrong opposition (physcal presence is 10 times more important against Inter) and suggesting the wrong player. If anyone, should be Melo and not Momo who is benched for Poulsen.

Both of you have the point there. Poulsen has the more composure, in better physical condition than Melo and Momo, also on a good form. Based on tactical view he is a better choice. Drop Melo won't be a good solution either because Momo - Poulsen doesn't work well in Cagliari match
Momo will add strength and bring more solid midfield against Inter, know that Inter has strong midfield (Zanetti, Stankovic, Motta, Cambiasso)
I don't think Sissoko is going to try and dribble players in this game. Against Cagliari he did try that because of the lack of attacking ideas we had. With the right tactics, he won't have to do that. That is, obviously, if Ciro has noticed it yet or not.
I think we will get the best result possible from this game if:
1- buffon plays
2- no major changes in the back 4
3- camoranesi and diego play
4- we play with two forwards one of the forwards is del piero or giovinco (del piero preferable if fully fit).
If grosso cannot play, de cegli should step in.. NOT molinaro.
Marchisio + one of melo/sissoko is suggested.
I disagree with you rab as I think mommo is important for this game. I see your point of trying to control Inter and deny them the ball, so they can't impose themselves physically on the game.
Sadly we don't have the team yet to hold possession well, so we will have to fight fire with fire and mommo is best at doing that.
Even though they're very tough I still think their CBs are vulnerable, so a two striker system is important imo.
Sorry, guys. I really am having a hard time getting the thrills for this one. I mean, yeah, so what if we can even beat Inter if we're choking against Cagliari?
