I'm quite surprised that Iaquinta got the nod ahead of Lucarelli in a season he scored 6 of his 9 goals from the penalty spot ( Though he was injured for a long time) - but I guess Lippi trusts him coz of his age and the fact that he played in qualification so I can only hope he performs

I am also surprised that Marchionni didnt get into the team, coz that means, as somebody mentioned, all our midfielders except Camo arent renound for attcking, so we definately cant expect an attcking midfield substitution occuring when things get desperate. But I guess this evens out with the fact that Lippi will play a 4-3-3.

I think Marchionni didnt get the place coz lippi chose an extra defender compared 2 the expected #

about attacking midfield. i dont know what lippi has in mind, but he can use dp as a attacking midfield. though i dont know if he would use totti and dp both on midfield. anyway de rossi also has some attacking qualitys. I have to say its gona be hard to choose the midfielders. will he go with pirlo-gattuso duo? then again pirlo hasnt had a very good season this time, perrota and de rossi both have improved. camo has had a mixed season.
