Sampdoria - Inter (24 Feb 08)

[Handoyo]

Sampdoria is 7-3-1 at home, a record only bettered by us, Juve and Roma. Cassano in a rich vein of form. Our confidence shattered after Liverpool...First Serie A defeat of the season?

[Hammoudi]

I hope Mancini will not be a stubborn scared biatch and start Chivu -- Burdisso as our CD starting from this game until the Liverpool game.

Your CD's should have understanding with each other and the GK, besides, 2-3 years from now, those two along with Samuel will be our CD's.

I also think it's a good idea to start punishing players who get sent off and make us suffer, and let's start with Materazzi this time.

[Ajesh]

Given the fact Mancini has run short of Defenders and more so for Liverpool in 3 weeks time Rivas should be allowed to play a substantial part in this match.

[Ajesh]

Our Forwards would never be fresher for a match immediately after Europe as they would be this time.

[nutcracker]

Crespo and Suazo must be in.

[kylan05]

I think we should put in the same team vs Livorno.

Other than the physical reason & late achievement factors, also we don't wanna risk losing more players (injury/card) for another important game coming in 3 days after.

And I don't know how, but somehow, this red card situations have got to an end. And last longer than 1 game, I mean.

[Azzkikr]

First Serie A defeat of the season?

Most likely yes. But it depends on samps approach to the game, if they have any brains they will just pick up where liverpool left off, high pressure on our half and win 3-0 easily.

But if they for some reason show to much respect and sit back and await and doesnt pressure much then we could a result.

[minterke]

We can't make that Liverpool mistake affect our season, we're raping every single team thus far, we're the most feared team in Italy and if Sampdoria think they'll do the same as Liverpool did they're wrong. If anything they'll get smashed harder then any other team because our team is now more motivated than ever.

[alvaro]

We need to win this one, next up is against Roma. Cambiasso is one booking away from ban, so I would rest him.

Suazo-Crespo
Jimenez(Figo)
Maniche-Zanetti-Vieira
Maxwell-Chivu-Burdisso-Maicon

That's true. If I know one thing about this team is that it always bounces back swiftly after a disappointing result. But I wonder how the loss of Cordoba will effect our defense. Also Ibra and Matrix little fight and how that will effect the harmony within the squad.

It's gonna be interesting to say the least.

[minterke]

Suazo and Ibra should play together, we should play our best squad since Sampdoria are in good form.

[Sassuolu]

Don't worry about the team bouncing back remember after Valencia we beat Milan in the derby so we shouldn't be too worried.

[Choppin Onions]

We haven't lost away in the Championship in almost 2 years. I don't have a great feeling about this one though. Cassano is in the kind of form where he decide the game by himself. He was out of this world in the derby last weekend.

Hopefully the lads bounce back from that awful mid-week performance.

[crzdcolombian]

w/o Cordoba we have no defense... our defense is Cordoba-Samuel both are out for the rest of teh season.... and the tard Matrix or mr. red

Chivu decent but is playing alot at DM
Burdisso another , I like the red card type player
Rivas who has done well but I have seen him do some really stupid shit in Colombia.... and dont think people shouldnt put to much hope on him, he isnt going to be be Cordoba #2, more liek a fast Black Matrix.... not really a good thing

we should look towards the Future and I think we should buy Cristian Zapata of Udinese cause im going to flip a shit if he goes to AC MIlan or Juventus who wont get off his nuts. Only 21 and def can start at Inter for a long long time... great investment maybe can be like our Sergio Ramos or something

[tonyloo]

Is Rivas a faster Matrix? That means more pain...

Make him our first choice defender!

[mike_inter]

I'd go with:

--------Julio Cesar-------
Maicon---Burdisso---Chivu---Maxwell
-----Zanetti---Maniche---Stankovic
-------------Figo-------------
-------Zlatan------Suazo

I'd rather not use Cambi in this game,if he gets a yellow he'll miss Roma..
And he'll be valuable for that match..
Figo surely from the beginning,he needs to play more now and be in top condition for Liverpool..
Also Suazo joining Zlatan in attack..

[kylan05]

Sampdoria
Disqualifed: Volpi.
Cautioned: Bellucci, Palombo, Sala.

Inter
Disqualified: -
Cautioned: Burdisso, Cambiasso, Chivu, Cordoba.

I think we shouldn't risk both Cambi & Chivu. Not many players left though, Nico gotta play. Let's hope he won't pick up any card this time.

JZ & Maxwell played full 180 minutes vs Livo & Live, & they're absolutely essential vs Roma. What are we gonna do now?

Midfield is another question, can Figo & Veira play together?

Is it possible something like:
JC
JZ(Maicon) - Rivas - Matrix - Nico(Max)
Maniche - Vieira - Stan
Figo
Suazo - Crespo

Do u guys think it's suicidal?

Maybe but is necessary see this option, because we need 2 or more goals in the match with liverpool so this is the opportunity to check this, maybe dont start with that line up but maybe second half or part of second half, mancini needs check options in the offensive.I sure that figo and vieira plays, zanetti and cuchu needs a break, pelé is a really good option and maniche too...

[Azzkikr]

What ever happens i hope Maniche plays, im no fan of him, but there is no way he can suck as much as stankovic currently does.

We havent seen much of maniche, its time for mancini to give him a chance, especially considering his boyfriend stankovic is playing absolutely horible every game.

[Stefan]

J.Cesar

Maicon Burdisso Matrix Maxwell


Viera Maniche JZ
