i think there are those fan actions, where you can win to be right next to the stars while the game plays ... you could sit right beside him .... on the bench ... 
it is pretty debatable if poulsen was more of a risk in such a game... considering that he has quite a big international experience advantage over marchisio you could say that it is more safe to play poulsen, but everybody can have his opinion. inexperience could force ranieri to make decisions you would bash afterwards ... often inexperienced players are overmotivated in such clashes and get either sent off or do silly tackles that get them yellow cards pretty early, so they can not play not with full effort for the rest of the game. i did not see poulsen do silly mistakes so far, so i have the feeling that he would do better, because he has more physical power and seems to be calmer and more tactical aware. he does not cluelessly roam anywhere or try to dribble past players, so he does not risk creating a counter attack for the opponent. i must say that i like the tactical discipline that he shows ... he does stay back pretty often to be open for passes and only makes run into the box, when it is sensible...

Emerson and Vieira had tons of experience but their legs didn't match their brains. I guess that is the scenario I'm most worried of. One could also make a case that continuity is just as important as well.
Marchisio won me over with his Milan performance first and foremost. A Milan side which plays a similar formation to Chelsea but arguably with a weaker midfield. I think the two contenders are Marchisio and Tiago in Ranieri's mind.
Tiago - Sissoko was the partnership that destroyed Madrid. I am with Dominic here, let's see how they do against Palermo and if they seem ticking then we should field them against Chelsea and in that case I'd play Nedved Camo.
What is the situation with Camo? he is match fit, why would we test him against Palermo? He should play at least 75 minutes.

Again something I find extremely funny... Always when Ranieri is criticized or questioned concerning his tactical choices or the formation he picks, v1r2t3u4l is always the first one to jump and say something like you're not a coach and you don't know more than Ranieri, that's ALWAYS his reply to the ones that criticizes Ranieri. Yet he's giving Ale a lecture
on how to play and react on the field.
