10 years of FIFAuguri hero. 
They both should be available. Cuchu was back in full training today, and Deki was only left out on Sunday because he had a fever.

FIF Special Ones10 years of FIFThis is the wrong place to be talking about him, but as of today it sounds like he might be on the bench -- we'll just have to wait and see ...

Forum Supporter10 years of FIFHe was amazing yesterday, fighting for every ball and also very good going forward under Mourinho Deki is back to his best imo.
His passing wasn't particularly impressive, though, especially in the second half -- he gave the ball away a LOT, often via really obvious passes that everyone on the park saw coming.

10 years of FIFStankovic is much better with a real AM in the team like Sneijder, because he now can play in his real position.

But I do think he needs to be more useful, just because he can.
Deki has pace, breathe and a good foot, why isn't he trying to attack more and with Sneijder become a more lethal partnership in midfield to complement each other with Cambiasso and Javier covering their asses. I want Deki to go forward more and try his luck even more and then our midfield will be that much better.

Most Important MemberThat's what I said in his thread and have been hinting ever since 2008.
I don't know who mentioned this (Was it Hamed?) but midfielders nowadays must be able to both attack & defend. Unfortunately, JZ just contributes nothing offensively. It's as if he's just a wall or a station and who will just make some useless pass sideways hoping for his team-mate to take the risk and do the job.
But I still don't want him dropped, just because.

10 years of FIFYes, it's modern football. Maybe modern football hasn't reach Italy completely because its champion has still Zanetti-like player in the starting lineup. In nowadays top football, you have to be able to do something with the ball, and preferably fast. Zanetti can't do almost anything with the ball, Cambiasso can't do anything fast. Stankovic has also problems with his technique time to time (when trying to play fast).

I do think it will be a good idea for Zanetti to be the second DM with Cambiasso/Motta doing the defensive and attacking moves with Deki, Sneijder and Muntari/ Mancini/Quaresma. So there is still room for Zanetti and I would like to remind you guys that I think it was a Coppa Italia match inwhich he didn't play last year, can't remember who, but our midfield was still not up to par.
