Crisito's confidence 
Of course winning, but Crisito is considered your main CB beside Andrade, You dont want him to lose confidence
Chiellini's main position was agreed to be LB not CB, Ranieri made that clear, if he believes that he should replace Crisito then he doesnt know what he's doing
I dont trust Crisito that much, but we all agreed to give him a chance, and the club refused to buy another CB, I remember Ranieri's words "We dont need Canna, we have Crisito" which was a dumb thing to say BTW

Criscito should play. Why? He's our second best centre back, simple as that. Chiellini could play there I suppose but he's doing fine at left back. Drafting in Molinaro is certainly an option but I see no benefit in benching Criscito. It was a mistake to put so much responsibility on such a young prospect but we didn't buy another defender so we have to live with that and put a bit of faith in Criscito.
DP should start as well. Both Vince and Trez played tough games in midweek and I always believe in giving under fire players the chance to play because more often than not they feel they have something to prove and thus extra motivation. Especially Del Piero.
Buffon
Salihamidzic? - Andrade - Criscito - Chiellini
Camoranesi - Zanetti - Almiron/Tiago
Nedved
Trezeguet - Del Piero

international break wasn't kind to us at all imo. Almost all of our players had bad performances or didn't play (except for Cristicio)
And then we got the injury to Boumsong while playing that stupid game against zaragoza.
Now i hope the players would pick themselves and put their national teams performances behind them.
A better performance than the Calgiari game is expected, especially from the midfield offensively.As it was dismal two weeks ago.
About the cristicio debate, i think he should be given another chance.I know the udinese forwards are very dangerous but one game shouldn't be the end of the world.

17 Trezeguet
19 Criscito
20 Palladino
23 Nocerino
24 Olivera
28 Molinaro
30 Tiago
33 Legrottaglie
probabli formation is:

Birindelli--------Andrade--------Criscito---------Chiellini
Camo---------Almiron----------zanetti-----------Nedved
------------------Alex-------------Trez

Serie A Preview: Juventus – Udinese
Juventus (1st Serie A, 6 points) v Udinese (17th Serie A, 1 point)
When: Sunday, 16th September, kick-off 1500 local (CET)
Where: Stadio Olimpico, Turin
The Right Path
Juventus started their Serie A season in style as they won two games in a row in their initial two matchdays, thus returning to the top spot of the Italian topflight after an absence of a year following their demotion to Serie B.
Now for the Old Lady it is important to prove their consistency as they have no European cup games to think about and can give all their best to the Italian topflight. However, as was evident against Cagliari, it will not be an easy feat for the Bianconeri as they are still far from being on the same level of Milan, Inter or Roma.
In fact, Claudio Ranieri’s squad still seems to lack something in defence to be more solid and maybe a creative midfielder in order to ignite David Trezeguet’s incredible goal scoring ability. Still, improvements have occurred over the past month and that is very encouraging for the former Chelsea coach.
Dr. Jekyll And Mr. Hyde
Probably saying that Udinese have been inconsistent in these first two matchdays is a huge understatement. The Friulani impressed against Inter at San Siro on the first matchday, with everyone believing that the Zebrette can compete for a Uefa Cup place this season thanks to some key individuals like Asamoah.
However, the squad was soon brought back to earth with a humiliating 5-0 defeat at home against newly promoted Napoli in the second matchday. Not very impressive by any standards and now the one million dollar question is: which Udinese side will face the Old Lady, the one admired against Inter or the embarrassing one which suffered the shocking home defeat against the Partenopei?
It’s still too early in the season to be able to make judgements on teams and their quality, but just like last season, the Friulani seem to suffer from the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde syndrome. At this rate, Coach Pasquale Marino will not have a long life at Udine.
Three Important Points
For Juventus this clash precedes the one against Roma of next weekend, and therefore the three points are a must if the Old Lady wants to hold on to the top spot for at least another week and go to the fourth matchday’s big match full of confidence and ready to take on the Giallorossi’s challenge.
Maybe the enthusiasm around Juventus’ first two wins of the season has gone overboard, with players and supporters targeting the league title, but if the Bianconeri can continue convincing critics and fans alike with other good performances and with more points, then yes the Old Lady can indeed go all the way!

Juventus
Some problems for Claudio Ranieri in defence as Boumsong is injured, whereas Zebina is suspended following the slap he gave to the steward at Cagliari. The Bianconeri will also be without Marchionni who has been injured since the training camp.
Probable Formation (4-4-2): Buffon, Birindelli, Andrade, Criscito, Chiellini, Nocerino, Almiron, Zanetti, Nedved, Trezeguet, Del Piero
Udinese
Various players are out injured for the Friulani with Obodo, Felipe, Pinzi and De Martino being all important misses for Marino and his team.
Probable Formation (4-3-3): Chimenti, Mesto, Coda, Zapata, Dossena, Inler, D'Agostino, Sivok, Quagliarella, Asamoah, Di Natale
PLAYERS TO WATCH
Del Piero (Juventus)
Following his poor performance against France, the Juve fans will be hoping that Pinturicchio returns to his best form for the Bianconeri in order to aid his team to another win this weekend.
It would also help him prove his doubters wrong, who believe that he is on his way down in this part of his career.
Di Natale (Udinese)
The happy face of the Italian national team. Contrary to Del Piero, his experience with the Azzurri in the past week has been a very positive one and he will be hoping to continue building on it in Serie A.
What was starting to be a difficult season for the former Empoli forward could turn into his most important year ever.
PREDICTION
Udinese proved they can give a hard time to the big guns, but Juventus have no mid-week commitment next week therefore they can concentrate on this game and perform at their best against the Friulani to grab three other precious points.
Juventus 2 – 0 Udinese
