where did you get confirmation on either of those?

Lecce will probably fight against relegation and so far we're doing great against these so called small teams.

Against the serie A top10 teams (Inter, Milan, Napoli, Lazio, Fiorentina, Catania, Udinese, Genoa, Palermo) we have a bad record so far. 2 wins, 2 draws and 3 defeats, with goal difference 9:8, but against the teams from the second part of the table (Atalanta, Siena, Sampdoria, Cagliari, Roma, Lecce, Torino, Reggina, Bologna and Chievo) we've been superb and we have 6-1-0 record, with goal difference 12:1.

Hopefully we'll continue beating the minnows and win 3pts from Lecce.

and start beating the top teams

I see a lot of hubris in here. Difficult match, considering our depleted and of technique deprived midfield.

Will Poulsen be back for the game?

And the Giovinco substitution last night could see us start something different.

Actually I have a feeling we will see much of Giovinco the coming two matches, Lecce and BATE. Then against Milan Ranieri will field Momo - Poulsen.

I'm not sure about Poulsen's condition. He is close to returning, but i'm not sure how close and in what kind of condition.

I hope you're right about Giovinco. I'd like to see something like a Marchionni- Sissoko- Nedved- Giovinco midfield or Sissoko Marchisio Nedved behind Giovinco.

 

[Alen]

We're in similar situation as in October, when we didn't have a good passer in midfield. When Tiago started playing things got much better. When Tiago got injured, Camo was back and he nullified Tiago's absence.

Hopefully Ranieri is aware that a midfield consisted of Marchionni-Sissoko-Marchisio(Poulsen)-Nedved didn't bring us good results and good displays and he'll do what Dominic suggested.

 

[Alen]

To add more to what i already said....this is how our midfield looked on those 3 matches we lost this season :

against Palermo: (4-3-3) Sissoko,Poulsen, Marchisio (Giovinco,Amauri,Del Piero)
against Napoli: (4-2-2): Salihamidzic-Poulsen-Marchisio-Nedved
against Inter (4-2-2): Marchionni-Sissoko-Marchisio-Nedved

The first one was with 3 DMCs and Giovinco in front of them while on the other two matches we really struggled without a good passer of the ball.

 

[Bjerknes]

Personally, I'd like to see Marchionni dropped all together and use Giovinco out there on the right flank. He did fine when he switched over there against Zenit I think it was, or maybe it was a Serie A match, don't quite remember. But he's capable on both sides of the pitch.

 

[Dominic]

It was vs Bate. He got two assists, but he looked totally of place. His ability was restricted.

 

[Alen]

It was against BATE. He assisted both goals. He started on the right but very often he was playing as an AMC on that match.

 

[pitbull]

Buffon
Zebina-Knezevic-Andrade-Salihamidzic
Camoranesi-Poulsen-Zanetti-Tiago
Trezeguet-

apparantly it seems that the next injured player will be striker to complete our fantastic injury list. are there any suspended ones?

 

[Eire]

A few otions for midfield alright.

Ranieri will probably play

Marchionni Marchisio Sissoko Nedved

he could drop Marchisio and start the midfield that finished the game against reggina.

Marchionni Sissoko Nedved
------------Giovinco--------

and some people have suggested playing Gio on the right but i would switch neddy to the right instead as pavel is right footed and let Giovinco have the left.

But it would be great to see the midfield that finished against Reggina start. C'mon Claudio be brave!!!!

 

[Luca]

Marchisio has deserved his place as much as the other players on our team (bar a few exception like D.P, Giorgio), as long as he keeps pulling the strings I am happy to see him play

 

[Ahmed]

he's been given a bad rap for no reason

 

[Luca]

for me he has been the pleasant (not explosive) suprise of the season for us
