Inter - CSKA Moscow (7 Nov 07)

[Pico32]

This will be so hard we lost our complete midfield due to injuries If i were Mancini I would play with 3 strikers as all the midfield players we have now are too defensive.

 

[Mirrt07]

Yes, please Mancini.. Maxwell on the left mitfield, so we still have creativity and offensive impulse on the wings.. with capitano from the right.

 

[Ronald]

one thing for certain, both Ibrahimovic and Suazo must start this game, they are fast and can dribble, Crespo can't play, neither can Cruz who is slow...

having two fast/dribbling forwards can eliminate some of the lack of creativity in midfield...

-------Ibrahimovic-------Suazo-------

Cesar--Cambiasso----Dacourt---Zanetti

Maxwell--Samuel---Cordoba----Burdisso

-----------------Julio------------------

I think that doesn't look too fancy, but I know this is the most realistic solution that Mancio might opt for, since I am sure we're not gonna change our formation, it's bad enough we are losing many players, changing formation will only make things worse at this stage.

 

[1919]

Btw, what has happened to Jiminez? When did he get injured?

Cesar is not listed in CL

 

[Ronald]

that's just great!! then I guess Solari could start, it's only Spartak Moscow!

It's CSKA, not Spartak. This is not your day mate.

 

[Ronald]

It's CSKA, not Spartak. This is not your day mate.

Tell me about it!! this day has been crappier than our midfield injury situation!

 

[A.l.i]

Mancio said that Deki would make it in time for this clash so our lineup should be;

---------------------JC-------------------
---Maicon---Cordoba---Samuel----Maxwell-

-------Il Capitano---Oli---Chuchu----------

-------------------Deki-------------------

------------Crespo/Suazo--Ibra-----------

Finally Deki plays as an AM lol, we need him tomorrow more than ever. Suazo could play as he would pose more of a threat as we are lacking creativity...

We will win but only just....

 

[Ronald]

is Maicon available or what?

 

[hillpop]

In Serie A however, I am complely in favour of switching to 4-3-1-2 and Zlatan behind two strikers.

I like this one! Ibra is not a good striker at the moment, ok he has done 7 goals but he has missed a lot. So I think it should be good to use him as a kind of playmaker?

 

[Stefan]

is Maicon available or what?

He's suspension is finished but not sure after the injury vs gobbi how bad it is.

 

[The_Eradicator]

If all else fails Chivu can play as a LM he isn't too bad there...

Is Matrix a definite for this game? IMO he should start to get some valuable game time under his belt for the Lazio game this weekend where it's going to be all hands on deck. Wouldn't mind seeing Bolzoni and Solari start in midfield with Suazo/Crespo upfront.

 

[rockball]

Maicon is available if not injured..Burdisso is not

 

[Ronald]

we have the perfect team for 3-5-2 or 3-4-3, too bad that system died out, no one uses it anymore. I don't know a team that plays with 3 defenders these days, we have too many CB and perfect WB for those positions.

 

[lonewolf19]

we have perfect team for 3-5-2??
consider our midfield i dont think we will ever have 5 midfielders playing lol

 

[tonyloo]

Genoa is using 3-4-3. The funny thing is that their right back is extremely offensive so it looks like they're playing a 2-5-3 sometimes. Watch the game against Palermo if you havent seen it, great game.

Im with Ali Asif on the lineup, looks like the best choice for this game.

-------Ibrahimovic-Crespo--------------
-------------Jimenez----------------
----Zanetti-Dacourt-Cambiasso----

---------------J.Cesar---------------

Orlandoni,Rivas,Chivu,Bolzoni,Solari,Suazo,Cruz

I guess you don't know that the wingers are actually defenders like Maincon, Zanetti, Maxwell, also Solari, Chivu and Cesar are perfect for that role
