SERIE A: Juventus - Parma (5 Viewers)

[Zizou]

That's a more defensive formation, clearly Lippi wants to find a solution for the too many goals we're conceding; fair enough though I would play Davids ahead of Tacchinardi.

@Glenn: About the limiting the number of goals we're conceding thing, yeah, I agree. We're practically playing with five defenders and a non-attacking midfielder with this formation, but it could probably work since we still have plenty of fire power with Maresca, Nedved, Miccoli and Di Vaio in the line-up. I hope it works. Forza Juve.

PS. I'm disappointed that DP isn't in the starting XI, but at the same time I know that Miccoli and Di Vaio deserve their places more than Alex does.

 

[Martin]

Stuart, I'm kinda glad that he isn't actually. He can come on if we're struggling and at this point I have a feeling he can do more damage off the bench than starting. At the same time it's a good chance for Maresca and Miccoli to have a try, they'll be playing a young team, players with a lot of talent but little experience, just like themselves.

 

[Stu]

Yeah, I know that DP's performances of late don't merit a starting place, but you always wanna see your favourite player on the pitch as often as possible, even when he isn't on form.

Its good to have players like divaio and Micco, who can back p DP in this situations. Doi Vaio is a box of surprises, but usually performs acceptably, and Micco always seem to give avreage performances.

About a post in the last page.... It seems that Maresca will start... i agree with it because he is in good form and deserve that spot for this game.

With Thuram out until January, any news whether they are going to bring up anyone from the Primavera squad for added defensive depth?

I'm not a big fan of birindelli, and the fact that he could get worn down if he's playing all these matches doesn't exactly put me at ease.

 

[Tom]

cool team!

 

[aressandro10]

3-4-1-2

that is my dream formation... glad Lippi finally wanna give it a try....

IMO with this tactic our game play will be more open and less static...see AS ROMA

although we are kinda short in the wing back department..

Worn down


Until January, we will only face Lecce in Serie A and Siena in the Coppa .. as for replacements we can play one of the defenders (Ferrara, Fresi) as right-back ..


I think we could be unbalanced in the Parma match .. Zambrotta is expected to go forward on the left and 'eat' Bonera alive .. whereas Birindelli will defend more and stop the pacey Junior on the right ..

just noticed, 9 Italians in the team

I doubt that our 3-4-1-2 will work as well as Roma's because:

1. Our back three isn't as good as their's.
2. Our wing backs are Birindelli and Zambrotta, Roma have Mancini and Lima.

If Lippi wants to use this tactic in the future then he definitely needs a couple more quality defenders and an upgrade to Birindelli, ie. Massimo Oddo or Andreas Hinkel.

And that makes US worse?

 

[Stu]

You think that Birindelli and Zambrotta are better attacking wing backs than Mancini and Lima? Zambrotta is better than Lima, I'll give you that, but inferior to Mancini. Birindelli on the other hand, is inferior to both.

 

[Roman]

Well no matter how we play,i believe in our guyz and Lippi.(though 3-4-1-2 looks very interesting).
GO JUVE AND GET THAT NEDDED WIN!!!:fero::fero::fero:
Forza JUVE!!!!!!
see ya all till thursday.

 

[Trezeguet_FC]

thats a great line up man. IM LOVING IT! Cant wait to watch the game tomorrow. Finally Lippi is playing players on their current form and not just the image that sorrounds them. FORZA JUVE AND MARESCA!

 

[Jessica]

We needed to win to return to be first from CALCIO

 

[LEC]

i think juventus will play like that:


----------------------------buffon-----------------------------
-----------------ferrara--------iuliano-----------------------
birindelli-----------------------------------------zambrotta
-----------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------tacchinardi----------------------------
appiah------------------------------------------nedved-----
-----------------------maresca-------------------------------
---------------di vaio---------------miccoli-------------------

injured: trez: 1-2 weeks, tudor
fitness problems: thuram

 

[Layce Erayce]

is that 4 fullbacks i see?

 

[Vinman]

3-4-1-2 with Ciro, Montero and Iuliano in the back ?? No thanks........

IMO, Davids is better than Appiah, from strength to ball control, Davids blows him away !! He's not gone yet, and our recent shortcomings in midfield PROVE that we need Edgar out there.......

PLAY DAVIDS, LIPPI !!!!!!!!!!
