People here want to start PDC over Asamoah. I don't care what the position is on the field, you always pick Asamoah over PDC. Even goalie I would pick Asamoah.

I can't think of a thing he's better than Asamoah at.

Oh right. "Natural left back".

A lot of people still talking bout a possible 4-3-3. Quit it now. Conte will stick to his 3-5-2 endlessly.

They've been switching it up in the last few match days, mostly 4-3-3. Teams have made a point to 'match up' against the 3-5-2, although they didn't against Napoli so it's probably normal.

My two cents:

- 4-3-3 could be interesting against Milan but 3-5-2 has been proven effective & solid against tough teams. That "wideness" in the pitch is a great advantage for us while handling the ball, not so much in defensive terms against fast and technical wingers.
- Caceres is the man to go for in case we need a sub in the bottom three.
- Vidal > Nocerino 'nuff feeding the hype, he is no MVP.
- SES is the one to be worried about, he can be a game changer at any time.
- I would seriously consider to rest some people for CL game, but this is a classic. Also can't afford to lose with Inter so close.

A GANAR! :theflag:

Buffon
Barzagli - Marrone - Caceres
Isla - Vidal - Pirlo - Marchisio - Asamoah
Quagliarella - Gio/Vuc​

Marrone and Caceres over Lucio any day of the week. I don't care if its Milan, Marrone will be 1000x better than Lucio. Especially in the libero role.

As for wingbacks, maybe rest Licht for Isla? Asamoah is the obvious pick for LWB.

I think Quag should start, but rumours are of Gio and Vucinic starting.

Post all the qualities that Nocerino has and Vidal doesn't, comparing defensive skills, creative skills, attacking skills, passing and goal scoring.

I bet Vidal comes forward in most of them even in creative/attacking skills that are more suitable for a CM like Noce than Vidal (DM).

Don't worry, I'll wait :weee:
ok.

Nocerino scored more goals than vidal last year and his goals always come in big games at very important moments.

not to mention he doesn't even get near the same amount of playing time as vidal gets.

much more cool headed.

his vision and runs offer way more to the team than the occasional tackle here and there with wayward passing which leads to a counterattack by the opposing team. yes, i am talking about vidal.

etc...

Nocerino is world class. Vidal has a long way to go until he reaches Noce's level.

Nocerino passes the ball like Pirlo, tackles opponents like Vidal, shoots like Gerrard and dives like Busquets.
