Serie A: Palermo vs Juventus [April 6th, 2008] (5 Viewers)

[Alen]

Palermo are again without 2 of their 3 attackers. Only Amauri will play while Miccoli and Cavani are injured.

For the first time this season we have every single player, apart from Andrade, available. Even Zebina and Marchionni are fit and ready to play.
Nocerino, Palladino, Grygera and Trezeguet are one yellow card away from suspension and they have to be careful not to get booked and miss Juve-Milan (this goes mostly for Trez).

Btw, Juve-Parma will be played on April 16 at 21:00 CET, on the same day when the Coppa Italia semifinals are played.
It's official.

Are you sure about Marchionni?
I thought he was a long term injury, and wouldn't play until the next season

i would like to see marchionni come on some time in the match, before his injury he was in good form.

I wouldn't i would rather put players who are in form now on so we have a better chance of winning then someone who hasn't played for a while, he should get a chance when we play someone like siena

 

[Amaurisimo]

or if we are leading 3:0

Buffon: Nuovo stop, a rischio per Palermo

08:27 del 02 aprile

Problemi alla schiena per il portiere bianconero.
È di nuovo allarme per la schiena di Buffon. Ieri, alla ripresa degli allenamenti, il portiere della Juve ha accusato un dolore nella zona lombare e ha saltato per precauzione la partitella finale, rientrando in palestra prima del tempo.
Il bollettino medico della società fa sapere che il numero uno azzurro, le cui condizioni verranno valutate meglio oggi, non sarebbe a rischio per la trasferta di domenica sera a Palermo, anche se lui stesso la scorsa settimana aveva ammesso che il problema di cui soffre da due mesi e mezzo (protrusione discale) non è del tutto risolto. .
«Per tornare al top dovrei fermarmi una ventina di giorni», aveva spiegato dopo Spagna-Italia. «Lo farà a fine campionato», gli aveva sollecitamente risposto Ranieri. Ma ora il tecnico potrebbe essere costretto a cambiare idea.

shit that is bad, we really need him now more then ever, we need to finish the season as strong as possible by targeting to win every game but I don't know how this can be done with out him...

 

[Alen]

Hmm, i'm reading the article and it actually says that he's not risking to miss the match, even though his condition will be better evaluated today.
He can play the match but it's up to Ranieri to decide will he start with Gigi or give him one more week rest and not risk anything.
It's his old back problem and he needs to rest so he could heal it better. The initial plan was to secure a CL spot and give Gigi a rest in the last rounds, but now (since we got an unplanned week rest) Buffon may be given another week and then he'll play till the end of serie A.

Tricky game since we didn't have a game last week, and we couldn't use the momentum from the inter win. Some players could be a bit rusty.

Another aspect is that colantuno would like nothing better than to get a win against the team that got him the sack.

Something that i thing works for us from a mental part is that their players have lost all of their confidence this season both in themselves and eachother. Something i don't think the bald one could rectify so soon.

I wouldnt risk another injury so I would rest Buffon so he can play at his best against Milan.

spot on. you couldn't have put it better, there are a lot of negative attributes to not playing last week + a new coach almost certainly always brings life to a team in his first game in charge, i'm worried about this.

if buffon isnt 100% he shouldnt play.

 

[Zaim]

Back injuries are terrible. I believe you can never fully recover from it, it always comes back.

well i don't know if I agree I can see why you said that because he might get injured long term from overworking his back. However we really do need him badly in order for one last big push in the league. I say we wait longer to asses if he can play or not because we play on sunday and today it is only wednesday so at least we have time on our side.

Also we need to let him make the decsicion because he knows his own body best

very true it is his decision.

 

[pitbull]

id love to see camo in center again, dont care who plays as a winger - striker or salihamidzic, but when mauro plays at center he gets the ball more and makes bigger impact, which i consider as a good thing. all i want from Juve is to play with 100% and the result will come, hopefully roma and inter will do us a favour, and get us back in the scudetto race.

Thats true.

Is Miccoli fit for this game? IIRC, he's been out with injury.
