Empoli - Inter

[Choppin Onions]

Game number 36 in what has been a forgettable season. Will be interesting to see our next Italian forward in action.

It's almost scary to say that we could be distracted by the Coppa Italia final...

Adriano should be back, at least on the bench.

 

[Franco]

It's funny to say this but I trust more our B team. If we get them into the field, then we will win. But as I said before, I prefer B team for Coppa so this should be played by our "A" team... so i'm worried

Nooo faccking way bro. Coppa has to have our A team because we need to win something this year, we can have a B+ team out there vs. Empoli.

Kily-C.Zanetti-Pizarro-Solari

Wome-Burdi-Matrix-Zanetti

Whatever something like that...at this point of the season...who gives a shit lol. As long as we have a few key players rested for Roma

 

[CafeCordoba]

I would really like to see Burdisso as central defender for once. It's no use playing him as defender on wing since he's really a central defender and nothing else. He's our future starting material so better try to integrate him to our game as central defender. I don't give a sh1t about who's playing in front or at the midfield.

i think there will more of the 4-3-3 that we apparently played last week.

 

[Waleed]

It will be hard to see Mancini try something out like that in an away match. He might though as an experiment to see if it will work for the Coppa games and for next year. I think playing the 4-3-3 against Roma would be best. They like to pack the midfield by having one extra player in the attack and essentially three centeral midfielders you might force that unit to split apart and give you more space as they try to contain one or the other.

PS: I thought Tavano went down injured a little while ago I am not sure if he will even make this game.

[Waleed]

Good stuff I look forward to seeing him in action. I know he had been injured earlier like a couple of games ago and they were not sure at the time if he would make it back this season.

Hopefully TLN or RAI will decide to show this game, prolly not though

 

[Alex de Large]

yeah i agree, i have more confidence in the b team with solari, cruz, cz and all that stuff... look at they're games vs messina or reggina.... vs crap teams better play with them this 3 last games.

 

[Inter101]

When's the coppa final?

 

[Stefan]

When's the coppa final?

3 May is the first leg.

 

[Choppin Onions]

TLN only shows 2 games a weekend now, and of the four teams that will be shown, not one is named Inter. :wallbang: At least you have the option of RAI.

 

[Wallace]

yeah i agree, i have more confidence in the b team with solari, cruz, cz and all that stuff... look at they're games vs messina or reggina.... vs crap teams better play with them this 3 last games.

Then we must ask ourselves why our "A" team sucks at versing crap teams. Oh opps, they also suck at versing good teams. That makes them worse than our "B" team.

The likes of C.Z, Solari, Cruz and even Matrix can easily replace few members in our "A" squad, Mancini just doesn't have the guts to do so.

 

[Jimmy]

I always hate to play against Igli Vanucchi. The man is an unbelievable diver, and a fantastic free-kick taker. He must have scored a couple of times against us for sure.

Will not even follow this game, as it collides with Sheffield Utd - Crystal Palace.

 

[Alex de Large]

Yes! B team but with JZ, Toldo.... maybe we can add Cambiasso and Stankovic.

 

[Handoyo]

Correct. He scored one heck of a FK against us when we played away in Empoli in 02/03. If you remember, that was the last match when J.Zanetti last scored a goal for Inter. Vannucchi also scored a cracker of a curler against us when we thrased them 4-1 earlier this season.

Might as well stick with the same formation as last weekend. The result suggests it worked well enough, (I didn't catch the game as I was at work) so correct me if I'm wrong.

Not sure why but i'd kinda love to see Cruz overtake Adriano in the goals tally. He deserves it. Maybe then people will accept he can play as a starter and not just as a sub.

Forza Cruz

Forza B team

 

[Pi]

Another game, another win? I hope so, this comes as a low pressure game, we have to win it because we are Inter and nothing else.

Also we must not forget that we have an important game on wednesday, that can bring us our only trophy this season, it's a trophy and I want it

We shoud use the same team that beat Reggina and bring on Adriano (if he's fit) in the last 20-30 minutes to "prepare" him for Roma's game.

 

[Waleed]

Stupid TLN and RAI again not showing this game. To tell you the truth I only really wanted to see this game so that I could possibly see Tavano in action.

Oh well at least RAI is showing the Coppa game hopefully Adriano ownes like last year.
