Inter - Genoa (31 Oct 07)

[alvaro]

Will be a tricky game, Vieira, Materazzi, Stankovic, Toldo (?) and J.Cesar (?) out injured. In addition we have no fans at the Curva. Ibra should be rested ahead of the Juve game, not only because he's one yellow short from suspension. Whether Mancini will do that is yet to be seen. Cambiasso should not be risked either, we already have 2 important midfielders out of the Juve game. Maxwell is a must but Chivu is needed too because of his dangerous freekicks.

----------Adriano-Crespo--------
---Cesar-Zanetti-Dacourt-Figo---
--Maxwell-Chivu-Samuel-Maicon--
------------Orlandoni-----------

Pretty good lineup to this moment. Our injury list starts to be horrible, considering how many of them are starting material.

Any idea how long for example J.Cesar is out? Or Toldo? I'm not JC's great fan, but Orlandoni looked pretty shaky and JC is so different level compared to him. Good that the defence is calm and midfield defensively. Probably Figo and Cesar can do something against Genoa, they aren't too good, at least what I saw them against Juventus.

 

[Adam]

Genoa are better then most teams in Serie A. They are very hard to score against and have Leon that could very well make our defenders suffer. I find it very hard to predict this match, considering having so many players out and the probability of Ibra being rested.

Could be a narrow win, a draw or even a loss. We should win though, anything else is unacceptable.

 

[Lenny_and_Carl]

At home we should be in for a safe win, Mancini should rest players like Ibra, Cambiasso and maybe even Samuel for the Juve game. I think this we be a good opportunity to give Jiminez a start as well, if by chance Figo gets injured for Juve, we'll be royally ****ed.


--------Crespo---Adriano---
--Cesar--Jiminez/Solari--Dacourt---Zanetti
--Maxwell--Chivu--Cordoba-----Maicon
-----------Alonso/Orlandoni----

If we don't attack well it looks like another draw for us. Genoa held a good Fiorentina, and they can be deadly when attacking. This is not a good time to be playing them and Juventus.

Stankovic, Viera, and probably Juilo Cesar, Toldo may not be ready either. Also Samuel is on another yellow card. If he gets another I believe he cannot play the Juventus game. I have little faith in Cordoba but this is what needs to be done.

Orlandoni, Maicon, Cordoba, Chivu, Maxwell, Zanetti, Dacourt, Jimenez,Cesar,Cruz,Crespo.

I dont think we can save a lot against Genoa... It is also important to do well against them since they are enjoying a fine form atm. We drew at Palermo and this win will be needed to strecth lead against Jube and for morale boosting. I think Samuel and Ibra should be rested (because of yellow cards). But I think Cambiasso might still be needed to have some solid CMs. Figo should also start and perhaps get sub in 2nd half.

My Lineup
------------Orlandoni-----------
--Maxwell-Chivu-Cordoba-Maicon--
---Cambiasso--Zanetti--Dacourt--
---------------Figo--------------
----------Adriano-Crespo--------

Sub Figo for Jiminez
Sub Suazo for Crespo
Also, if any keeper recover... maybe we can start them as well

 

[Stefan]

Is burdisso still injured or has he recovered from his headknock??

If he is fit I will do this:

Orlandoni/Toldo

Maicon Cordoba Burdisso Chivu


JZ Dacourt Cambiasso


Figo

Crespo Adriano

Jimenez for figo after 60 minutes.

 

[Handoyo]

All I can say is Ibrahimovic MUST be rested. If he gets an injury or a suspension, there goes 1/3 of our chance of beating Juventus.

You mean 2/3s, right?

Ciao,

[Rimpel]

I hope we play with the following formation:

----Orlandoni/Toldo----

--Maicon-Cordoba-Chivu-Maxwell--

--Zanetti--Dacourt--Cesar--

----------Figo------------

-----Adriano-Crespo-----


Perhaps Cambiasso instead of Cesar. But I would prefer that he was rested.

 

[Neon]

Figo can't play, if he gets burned out or worse hurt during the Genoa game then we are screwed.

Our 5 most creative players are Ibra, Figo,Maicon,Cesar, Maxwell in that order.

 

[La Bling]

With all of the injuries, I'm scared of this game. I think that we might be looking ahead, and fall. It is necessary to rest Ibra, but these three points are just as important as the next.

 

[lonewolf19]

anyone have news on the extent of injuries of our keepers... I think the only one who we can count on Injury-Free is our captain Zanetti... when was the last time he was injured????

 

[de_diro69]

J C is injured when did this happen?

 

[Adam]

Against Palermo. Both him and Deki.
And the hits just keep on coming.

 

[Opeum]

damn..we're pretty screwed...h

 

[A.l.i]

We "should" play 4-3-3 in this game, and if it works then we could use it against Rube Rube...

--------------Orlandoni [ lol]---------------

-Maicon----Cordoba----Samuel----Max-----

------Figo-------Cuchu----Il Capitano------

----------Suazo----------Adri-------------
-----------------Crespo-------------------

Though don't know about Matrix's situation.



OMG ! I forgot Cesar....................

 

[A.l.i]

We should play 4-3-3 in this game, and if we do well, we can use it against Rube as well considering we're without Deki now too.

-------------Orlandoni ---------------

--Maicon--Cordoba--Chivu---Max-----

-----Figo-----Chuchu---Il Capitano---

--------Suazo------Adri-------------
--------------Crespo----------------

Samuel, Ibra should be rested cause they both are on caution while Matrix could be brought on later in the second half for Chivu or Max just to have some minutes in his legs...





OMG ! I forgot Cesar ......

 

[lonewolf19]

Inter
Disqualified: -
Cautioned: Ibrahimovic, Samuel.

Genoa
Disqualified: -
Cautioned: Borriello, Juric.

Ibra and Samuel both on yellow card. Both should be rested since we cant afford to lose them against Jube.

 

[sergiu.inter]

very hard match tmrw...we must play offensively,otherwise it'll be the same as it was in the palermo game.FORZA INTER!!!
