This will be a hard one. a very hard one. tbh this game could make the difference. If we lose here, i'd say we screwed up 2nd place and we should see that we somehow manage to get an uefa-spot (milan/fiorentina won't sleep forever). If we show reaction and we show determination, i think we can win this one. We need a strong del piero tonight, but i'm not oo much worried about him; he'll make his game, get freekicks, etc...
As for our lineup i'm not too much concerned, trez's absence can be compensated with palla/iaq/dp. I'm still really waiting for palla to explode, just like he did as he scored that hattrick some time ago. He definately IS that type of player who can blow a game whereas in other games he plays rather crappy. His form is getting better i'd say, let's hope he can prove us all (and especially ranieri) what he's really worth.
The zanetti-absence worries me a little more. He had some brilliant games at the moment, and it will definately be hard to replace him. I kinda hope ranieri plays tiago, for i still think that he can do better. Man, he would need ONE good game to get back into consideration. I still can't believe we paid that much for a player who cannot do one good game. I'd say, let's give him a shot; we don't have 1 million possibilities, so why not try him (once again)
Now the referee will be crucial in this game. Just think about it. I would definately NOT want to be referee in that game. everyone knows it will be a physical game (it's a derby, what do you expect) and everyone knows the fans will be louder and against all decisions. Plus, with all the fuzz about the letter to figc, the accusations in the media etc... imagine there is some dubious action in penalty area for us or even against us. I think I would just shit my pants
Good that i'm not tonight's referee
I don't think we'll see any more scandalous decisions tonight. In fact, if i had to do a prediction, i'd say the referee will whistle a little bit more IN OUR FAVOUR (for we all know, a complete 100%-right game is rather impossible)
Nevertheless, i'm not that much worried about the referee, let's just play some football! i really hope torino catch a bad day, and we can score early goals. conceiding a goal on the other hand would be pretty bad.
