Maybe someone has posted this before but, Cassetti is injured too. De Rossi to be deployed as CB. Taddei as LB

Probable starting line up for Roma http://www.romaforever.it/formazioni/index.php?partita=Roma-Juventus&data=20111212&tipo=p

We must take advantage of this.

I guess everything will be going through totti, seeing as how the other two wont pass to each other

 

[Fred]

Yes.

In a 4-3-3 formation, our central midfield is amongst the best in Europe.

 

[ZoSo]

What? It's not? Who's better? Chelsea...no way. Barca and Juve have the best 4-3-3 midfields in Europe.

 

[Nicholas]

Come and laugh when Arsenal win something, there's one thing that's set in stone all our midfielder's would walk into your Arsenal side easily.

First off, theres no use of comparing a 3 man midfield to a 2 man midfield. Hoori explained that very well a couple of pages back. But lets think of it in another way, individually are Juve's midfielders really better than players such as Wilshere, Yaya Toure, Ramires, Barry, Xabi Alonso, Lass Diarra, Schweini, etc?

Arsenal's record has absolutely no relevance to this argument. Are you clutching at straws already?


Barring Pirlo who is obviously quality, i would not take any of your midfielders ahead of Jack Wilshere. Song has developed into a very good defensive midfielder too, its not as straightforward as you make it sound.

Fucking Wilshere? Are you for real?

No but the players you listed above shows you are.

Baring Schweinsteiger, Yaya Toure and Alonso. Each of our midfielders are better than the rest this season I'd also rate Pirlo ahead of Alonso also.

Xabi Alonso is on par with Pirlo, that's about it for comparing Pirlo to anyone on that list.

I'd personally take Vidal over Both Toure, Barry and Diarra and Marchisio is outperforming Schweini this season.

Next question.

 

[Fred]

Fucking Wilshere? Are you for real?

Of course i am. For his age, Wilshere is absolute class. Definitely more talented than Marchisio.

No but the players you listed above shows you are.

See my reply to Nzoric.

Next question.

Pirlo is quality, i made the mistake of not adding "barring Pirlo". I'm also not talking about form, i'm talking about ability, just because your players have played better in the opening 14 rounds of the season better than top players such as Yaya Toure and Schweini, doesn't mean they're better. Just means they're in better form.

 

[Nicholas]

Fred as a collective unit, you'd rate our three higher than City's three and Bayern's three though?

Vidal over Yaya Toure

The Jury is still out on Marchisio.

Yes actually. Pirlo>>>>Xabi attacking wise. Vidal & Marchisio (individually)>>>the rest. Pirlo is probably the best or 2nd best regista but he can't really be compared to Toure or Schweini because they are too different. Both are better than Vidal & Marchisio though.

In terms of whole central/attacking/wide midfields then for sure Barca, Bayern, RM, City (only because of Silva) and maybe Utd (Nani) are better.

No i don't. I think they are in great form in the opening half of the season, but i think its still premature to make such claims.

Ok
