You raise some good points only_juve, but if Lippi insists on playing Appiah so much, IMO it's idiotic to play Tudor in DM and bench Maresca, when he's got Legrottaglie and Iuliano in defence - hardly the most solid pair. Put Tudor at CB and start Maresca at all costs
Buffon
Birindelli Legrottaglie Iuliano Zambrotta
Appiah Tudor
Miccoli Nedved Di Vaio
Trezeguet
I don't know why Thuram's missing, but if Lippi insists on having those players on the field, at least play Tudor at CB instead of the horrible Legro and Iuliano.
Buffon
Biri Tudor Legro/Iuli Zambro
Appiah Maresca
I like having Miccoli Nedved Di Vaio and Trez on at the same time though
