I'm not sure if we should underestimate Empoli so much. After all, they've beaten Palermo and Milan at San Siro.

I agree.... We could easily plunge into crisis with these next 2 games

 

[JuveAdam]

Chiellini is out suspended, I'd rest Nocerino and Legro too, as they are one card away from a suspension as well, if i'm not mistaken.

Buffon
Salihamidzic Grygera Criscito Molinaro
Marchionni Tiago/Almiron Zanetti Palladino
Iaquinta Del Piero/Trez

Hopefully Camo will be fit enough to play a part.

I'd go with that, only swap Zebina for Sali. Then like you say Camo plays a part. Gotta go with Almiron over Tiago & would say start Ale, then use him from bench v Inter.

 

[Geof]

Players out: Andrade, Boumsong, Chiellini, Nocerino, Nedved.

----------Buffon-------------
Grygera-Zebina-Legro-Molinaro
Brazzo-Almiron-Zanetti-Palladino

i think raineri is going to play tiago in midfield becoz the midweak game is against inter so thats possible he would use tiago insteas of zanetti...IMO

Why not, but:
1. Empoli are not that weak a team, we shouldn't underestimate them.
2. Three points are needed here, regardless of what the next match is.

 

[JuveAdam]

3 points vital. We need to get back to winning, confidence going into Inter game essential.

 

[ZAF3000]

We have to play a smart formation. We have Inter's game to look forward too. In the same time Inter not winning tonight gave us a good releif. The napoli game only cost us 1 point. So lets move on.
I'd be very hesitant to play Del Piero as a starter on this game, We need his experience to lead us against Inter. In addition Iaquinta hasn't played for a while, if he is fit he should start. This way he gets playing time before the FIGC clash (a.k.a as Inter).
In the same time, I wouldn't change our team alot. We need to win this game so bad. 3 points is what we should earn by the end of the game on Wednesday..

--------------------------- Buffon
Grygera ---- Legrotellie --- Criscito --- Molinaro
Marcchionni/Tiago --- Zanetti -- Alimron -- Palladino
------------- Trezeguet --- Iaquinta

Is Legrottaglie one card away from suspension?

Is Legrottaglie one card away from suspension?

Yes, he is.
Nedved and Legro both have 3 yellow cards each.
The next yellow they'll get means 1 match ban.

 

[JCK]

Then he should be sidelined ahead of the Inter clash. If he plays, no matter what does he'll be given a yellow card.

Now this is a problem.
Without Legro, Chiellini, Boumsong and Andrade , we have....who ?

Criscito for sure and who's gonna be the second CD ? Grygera ?

Zebina-Grygera-Criscito-Molinaro ?

Oh boy
I guess we'll have to take the risk with Legro

Actually that doesn't sound so bad. Grygera has been putting some decent performances.
The problem is alot of changes will loose us balance. We couldn't beleive that our back line is starting to gell..
The other chouce is that we get the back four from the Primervera Those lads can play.

I have a feeling that Legrottaglie will receive a yellow card immediately for absolutely no reason just so he'll get suspended.

How long is Ranieri's suspension?

 

[Alen]

How long is Ranieri's suspension?

It's over.
He'll sit on the bench on Wednesday.
It was one match ban

we should be very careful.. Lets rest Legro.

Here's little conspiracy food for Turk

Yellow cards after 9 rounds ( i don't know why they don't count Nedved's yellow against Reggina. They only count his red card)

Genoa 0-0 Viola. Let's get those 3 points.

 

[Salvatore]

Its good to see both Milans and Roma in the relegation zone. That is my favourite table ever.

 

[Alltagsheld]

Seems there is not only a conspiracy against Juve, but also against Torino, WTF?! Milano and Roma side by side against Torino?!
