It'll be good to see a lot of players getting there chance to impress in this one. Especially Santon. I'm really eager in seeing what he has.

[Ziyad]

Above all we need Adriano to impress at this moment.One more charade from him and we should just give every starting chance of partnering Ibra to Crespo.At least Crespo is a professional and will improve,without the drama by the playing time until we face ManU.

I hope Quaresma can be used in this one.Or even Mancini.Anything to get a spark from these two as we are desparate to have anyone other than Ibra be an offensive threat.

[rockball]

Quaresma should be used. He has shown a bit of improvement in last few games and a bit of continuity should help him.

People were commenting on Zlatan shouting at him, I guess Zlatan won't play this game so Quaresma would get some space as well.

[interlab]

i want to see Jimenez how performs in this game ...

[M.Adnan]

This will be interesting to watch.

There are a lot of players that we want to watch (Adriano, Balotelli, Jimenez etc), and we're also facing a good team.

[Alessandro]

I'd really like to see a simple 4-4-2 here... Viera probably won't start but i'd like to give him some minutes... He's cleared isn't he? If not, Dacourt will probably get the nod over Bolzoni.

What happend to Balotelli? I thought he was supposed to play against Genoa, has he not shown the right attitude at training or what?

He hasn't been training like mou likes and his brother/agent has been shouting they want a loan move. To which mou has said he will keep him on the bench till the end of the transfer window and he will stay then he might realize he needs to work hard.

"As for Mario, only two days have gone by since my last team selection, so nothing has changed. His way of working has been the same. So has his joy and his attitude. The only change has been the declarations made by his brother, who said that Mario would prefer to move on loan for four months. He will be calmer after the closure of the January transfer market because he's staying with us."/QUOTE]

What happend to Balotelli? I thought he was supposed to play against Genoa, has he not shown the right attitude at training or what?

Mourinho said Balotelli hasnt really done anything in 2 days. I want to see a 4-4-2 with Mancini and Quaresma on the wings.

Mourinho has already confirmed Toldo, Maicon, Samuel,Burdisso,Max, Adri....

[rockball]

So Mourinho doesn't want Balotelli to leave. I guess he would have been more willing if Mario hadn't declared he wants to play under Mihajlovic.

Andways I hope Zlatan doesn't play this game. Its high time the team learns to sruvive without him.

I would rest Samuel for this one. He got a knock to the head at the weekend and i'd give Chivu the minutes he needs to get back to match fitness.

Good to see Adriano play. We need him for Man Utd.

[Alessandro]

No Dacourt either...

[lonewolf19]

Mourinho already named his defense and keeper, plus we know that Adriano will be playing some parts. I am interested to see what midfield we are going to use and how our wingers will do in this game

lol imagine mario playing under mihajlovic
sinisa would make mario do his groceries and wash his feet

[mexican_azzurri]

Bolzoni.....???????

I want to see the young talent.

[A.l.i]

Wtf is wrong with Bolzoni and Santon??

Why aren't they getting any minutes?

Why is Maicon playing this one?

[Bes]

Guyz, I am really suprised none of you didn't mention the fact:
The "Diego Armando Maradona" will be in the Meazza to watch his NT's players like Burdisso, Cambiasso, Zanetti, Samuel and Crespo.

I hope we win, it will be a good vengeance for that tie in the Serie A .

FORZZA INTER!!!

[lonewolf19]

Apparently we are treating the Coppa with quite importance this year.
To be honest I am surprise to see Maicon playing in this one
