Inter - CSKA Moscow (7 Nov 07)

[Michal]

This game can secure our 1st place. Moscow suffered defeat, now it is time to finish them in Milano.

Forza Inter!!!

[sergiu.inter]

We surely will win this one and secure our 1st spot.I think we'll play much better than we did in moskow.FORZA INTER!!

[tonyloo]

Maicon and Materazzi is back. It'll be easy! Maicon, the most important player in attack after Ibra is back. Materazzi, the best weapon in the world on set pieces is back. People underrate Materazzis importance offensively. Have we scored on a corner this season yet?

[Azzkikr]

So you want both samuel and materazzi to play?

[M.Adnan]

Win this game, secure 1st place (avoid strong teams in the next stage), concentrate on the league for the next 3 months, give the youngsters important chances to play the last two CL games, and thats it.

[Suneet]

I wanna beat Faackerbahce...

[de_diro69]

I wanna beat Faackerbahce...

i think we all do, these Turks are starting to get a big head.....

[golazo]

Will we have every player at our disposal for this one?

[Pico32]

If Figo and Maicon injuries are something serious then we will have a very tough game, we will be losing most of our midfield.

[Mirrt07]

Yess the creativity is gone, but Inter is so much stronger at home so I believe in a win

Ok, every game is tough but Maicon have been gone for av while in CL. So I think that we will do well whitout him and Figo as well. I'm a lot more worried about the future of the tournoment. We have to find somthing better than Cesar. It's maybe just me but I really don't like him!

[Pravesh]

We are in all sorts of problems with the midfield, now that Figo has also joined Stankovic, Vieira, Jimenez. Thank god, it's CSKA Moscow and not other high profile team and also coz it's going to be a home game for us.

We can still have a starting line up of something like this:

------------------- J.Cesar --------------------

Maicon ---- Cordoba ------ Samuel ------- Chivu

J.Zanetti --- Dacourt ----- Cambiasso --- Maxwell

------------ Zlatan -------- Cru/Cre/Sua --------


It ain't a dynamic one but with all those injuries, we are still with a very competitive line up.

Btw, we must buy a midfielder in the winter transfer market.

[Adam]

We should play like this and we'll do fine.

-------------Cesar---------
Maicon--Cordoba--Samuel---Chivu/Maxwell
Dacourt----Cambiasso------Zanetti
-----------Stankovic-----------
Ibra----------------Cruz

Materazzi should get some minutes in the second half. I hope Deki is fit enough to start. If he's not we are more likely to play a 442 with Solari.

[Rimpel]

now that we have a crisis when it comes to the attacking midfield position, mabye we should try Ibra there. With Cruz and Suazo/Crespo upfront.
Zanetti- Cambiasso- Dacourt would provide more than enough cover.

[Jimmy]

Well, in this specific match, we won't be able to do that as Zanetti probably has to play right-back. Personally, I WANNA see Solari in this one. He will now have the chance to finally make a contribution to this team, and playing at home to the Russians is a good start.

In Serie A however, I am complely in favour of switching to 4-3-1-2 and Zlatan behind two strikers.

[jakeyboi]

Yh i think Solari should play as well. CSKA will try and bog down the midfield, if we can get the ball out wide to solari he can put in some good crosses, so if Solari plays i think maybe Crespo should also play as I think he is our best player in the air up front.

[NIKES0CCER14]

----------------------Julio Cesar-------------------------
------------Samuel--------------Chivu-------------------
Maicon-------------------------------------------Maxwell
---------------------Dacourt---------------------------
---------Zanetti---------------------Cambiasso----------
---------------------------Solari------------------------
---------Ibrahimovic-----------------------Suazo------

this should be the formation but we all know that mancini wont drop ivan cordoba

[lonewolf19]

damn, we have to win this one to get our CL qualification
but all these midfield injuries is gonna hurt us bad.
anyone think Mancini might play Chivu out of position in midfield which he had done well in his NT.

I like that line up, it nullifies many of the injuries we've sustained. Hopefully we can hold them defensively, while allowing our strikers to work and maicon/maxwell will be able to work something on the wings. Perhaps capitano will stun us with some brilliant runs as he has in the past.

I expect nothing less than a win.

We will definitely be able to hold them defensively. Whether we can score against them ( due to lack of creativity) is another issue tho.
