Inter - Roma (1 Mar 09)

[Bes]

The forgetting of that draw against Manu is just a MUST. I hope we will havea win in here and get back soon.

FORZZA

[Azzkikr]

Roma sucked against Arsenal as well.

Game of two losers.

[lonewolf19]

We need to get Vieira back on track and running. Hopefully he will find his fitness and be ready for OT return leg. Muntari clearly cannot be trusted too much these days. Give Balotelli some mins too since he could be useful in set pieces and as an extra weapon.

How long is Samuel out until?

Did we lose? We played as good as Man Utd did.

[shahz_nerazzurri]

Roma have very many players missing these days. Cassetti, Cicinho, Aquilani, Menez, Juan and Vucunic are all struggling with injuries. Dont know how many of them will be back for our game.
Should be an easy victory, specially with Loria playing in their defence.

[NimAraya]

WoW! Poor team. Well at least I hope that give us a big advantage to pass them well.

Since when is 0-0 a defeat you idiot?!


Forza Inter! I'm hoping for 2-0 in this game.

[Ziyad]

I would reintegrate Viera as well..Maybe find a position for Mancini too since he always looks good in the CL and might be that offensive spark eventually.I dont care about positioning and formations i know we need something in midfield and hope that we can find it before the return leg.

[Interista nr.1]

J.C.
Maicon Cordoba Chivu Santon
J.Z. Cambi Viera
Stanko
Balotelli Zlatan

Mancini in second half instead of Viera. Adriano in second half if Balotelli is poor. Figo for Stankovic.

I think this 3 player can be Inters ticket to CL title; Figo, Viera and Balotelli. Hell, even Mancini, who knows, he should be given chance to shine.

[hetfildd]

I don't think that Figo would play a key role against Man. Utd. as he's slow. I think the key would be Viera. Muntari was so weak against them and if it wasn't for Deki's support Muntari and Santon would have more and more problems against Ronaldo even though Ronaldo had a great night and I don't think that he would be in a such a high great form in return leg. Let's accept it that we had a bad transfer policy last summer. Mancini and Quaresma were KO and Muntari wasn't a real replacement for Lampard even though Deki took that role.
So please use these remaining matches before the return leg at OF to get Viera and Samuel back to form. I'm sure Jose would do so. It would be so hard to concentrae on these coming matches even I can't do it eventhough the next match is against Roma and it;s a very important match.
I still believe in the return leg when I remember the 2nd half.

[Ehsan]

First game this season I'm not bothered to watch. I just want us to win and get it over with... sick of watching Inter vs Roma games!

[Handoyo]

We haven't won this fixture since 04/05, when a double FK from Miha did the trick for us.

But San Siro used to be one place Roma could never win on, let's hope the trend returns.

[Nyall]

So far Jose is 3-0 versus Roma and I'm hoping for the clean sweep.

Same here. We are playing zillion times each season

[Jimmy Page]

I know this is not maybe the game we should try this line up but maybe against Sampdoria in the coppa: with the regular backfour Maicon, Samuel, Cordoba Santon, a three man midfield with Zanetti, Cambiasso and Stankovic, who will have the Lampard role in the midfield, and a three man attack with Balotelli, Adriano and Zlatan. And the moment we lack creativitet behind the strikers.

As Zlatan is the most creative player at Inter he could fill that void. Iam not sugesting Zlatan should play as a AM, just a little behind of Adriano and Balotelli. The problem at the moment with a two man attack is that Zlatan often goes down to the midfield and collects the balls, leaving Adriano to isolated. Also Zlatan perfers to be outside the box where he can dribble, make a pass or have shot at goal. With Balotelli we also get a real speedy player, with good technic and good right foot for set pieces. The problem is of caurse that Balotteli is a very young man and hade alot of issues and thus not that reliable. Any comments on my idea? To unrealistic?

[Alessandro]

I'm actually looking forward to this... How could you not be exctied for this one???

Inter vs Roma is always an entertaining game.

[Ziyad]

I would experiment in this one..

-----------JC------------
JZ--Cordoba-Chivu--Santon
Maicon---Cambiasso--Viera
--------Mancini-----------
----Mario-------Ibra------

[Ilkinio]

Trying Maicon in midfield can be panacea. And we should start using Mancini somewhere.

[mike_inter]

----------------Julio Cesar---------------
------Maicon--Cordoba--Chivu--Santon--
---------Zanetti--Cambiasso--Vieira--
-----------------Stankovic------
-----------Ibrahimovic--Adriano

I think that's the most probable formation..

time to bench Muntari and give Vieira a chance if the Frenchman's fit and available for this one..
