Inter - Roma (27 Feb 08)

[szasza02]

romamerda might be good but no way they gonna beat the boys @ Meazza
i think the worst option is a goalness draw
I wouldn't hurry Zlatan and the other injured players to return because the pool game is much more important. in the championship there are a few points gap so the next 2-3 games aren't vital

 

[Handoyo]

Goal.com is reporting that Amantino Mancini may not be available for this match. A good news, since he's scored several clutch goals as of late and he has a very good record against us.

 

[Ilkinio]

We need Suazo and Balotelli upfront
Stankovic as AM(maybe Solari?)
Bolzoni instead Viera
Chivu-Rivas at back(Burdisso is so slow..)

 

[irishwhisper]

Looking forward to watching this match since I cant see the Lazio match on Wednesday, Inter are a world class team and on their day Roma are unbelievable to watch. But the problem with Roma they are so inconsistent that they dont have their day too often!

Usually I'd always go for Inter at the Meazza but with recent form its tough to say but my prediction is a 2-1 win for Inter. Hope Jimenez is back soon for yas

I dont care who plays, I just want whoever is playing and the coach to come in and start the game with the right mentality/tactics. If they dont (hold posession etc) we will lose this game by more then 2 goals, easy. Which to be honest, is what im expecting.

 

[kylan05]

Reading Mancini's interview, seems like Vieira is going to play.

If it has to be so, I wish to see:
JC
Maicon Chivu Matrix Max
JZ Vieira Chuchu
Figo
Ibra Suazo

Note that keyword is wish.

If Vieira doesn't play, I'll move Chuchu & put Chivu there. Plot Rivas next to Matrix @ the back.

 

[Hammoudi]

Pravesh, you are right, Cicinho is playing better and better, Shaz seems to have something against Brazilian players

Anyway, Cicinho is suspended, Juan is most likely out and A Mancini is out as well. Normally I'd say Roma will be depeleted, but all the above players can be replaced and maybe only Juan is a guaranteed starter everytime.

One of the most difficult and interesting matches for us this season...
Roma without Mancini is a totally different team.He's the man who usually scores and makes the difference for the giallorossi.Many consider him even more valuable than Totti..
Also,Juan has been proved their most consistent defender with Mexes making a not at all good championship this year..
Hope for a Maniche-Figo-Zanetti-Cambiasso midfield but Mancini will most probably use Stankovic and Vieira instead..
I have already admitted that it's time for Maniche to play in order to prove his class.And I don't consider him a bench player..
In the fist game Manchio played with a 4-5-1 formation which is likely to be used against Roma again..With only Crespone in attack this time,if Zlatan doesn't make it..

Nowadays,Roma is our main rival for the scudetto and a win over them will encourage us a lot.And our team needs to be motivated..

All I can say now is BUONA FORTUNA SQUADRA NERAZZURRA
Wish the best for our team..

not a good feeling ahead of this match. esp with our current forms and injuries. We have absolutely no control in midfield despite fielding our first team. Kinda ironic how our midfield was much better in the first half of season. Anyways, I am hoping for a draw and keep our 9 pt lead

 

[Ziyad]

Well i consider Mancini 50% of their threat to us.Now we have to mark Totti,who hasnt been that great the past couple of games(I hope i dont eat my words) and play our game.

Roma usually start with their fast attacks on us.If we contain them the first 15 minutes then i believe we only have to worry about the counter attacks after that.

We need to get physical with them (without red cards please) because they will be thinking about the CL game anyways and wont risk alot with us.

why does he keep putting MAtrix on the starting line up

who ever the 2 starting CBS are for that game should get to know each other

Matrix cant play against liverpool then he shouldnt be called..... Chivu-Rivas is what I am hoping for because they need to be ready for when we play Liverpool...

wasnt very impressed with Burdissos preformace in the 1st leg

 

[Ziyad]

^^ I agree if ur not going to play the Liverpool game it doesnt make sens to use you now. We can use Matrix after that game and rest whomever we need to rest.

Cambi-Viera-JZ with Figo infront of them is a must.Figo and Viera need to get lots of minutes to click again and get us freeflowing.

I know Viera hasnt been all too great lately but i really believe he will make a bigger difference than Stan in the lineup.He just needs a couple of games under his belt and he can provide to be huge in such an encounter.

 

[bjwam4]

True, but its a choice between him and Viera. Its like choosing between a turd sandwich and a giant douche.
I prefer the turd sandwich.

True, I'm not a fan of Vieria myself. Nice analogy

 

[CafeCordoba]

Have you all missed this report. That Zlatan maybe misses this match because Mancini will rest him for the CL. So Zlatan wasn't out of Samp match purely for resting purpose as he's been training separately.

 

[Stefan]

Gazzetta is going with this team:

JC

Maicon Burdisso Matrix Chivu


Viera Cambiasso JZ


Deki


Super Mario Crespo

to be honest
mario,crespo,suazo and possibly cruz could take roma with out ibra it is nessseary we rest ibra.. thank god mancini woke up a bit

 

[Ziyad]

I would start Crespo-Suazo..We might utilize both for Liverpool anyways.

 

[M.Adnan]

Once again Figo isn't starting?

Well Mancini knows better about his players' conditions, so I just hope that Luis will be 100% fit when we face Liverpool.

Seems like another defensive formation, but as long as we win, I won't complain.

I would want the kid to get to play these kinda big matches. Atleast we would also have a rough idea if he would be good to play against Liverpool or not. He played well against Juventus in the Coppa Cup, where Juventus fielded their best team possible and played to win the tie.

Later on, lets not say - Had we used this/that player, coz I think that, in Baloteli we have got another type of player who could bring the pace to the game.

to be honest
mario,crespo,suazo and possibly cruz could take roma with out ibra it is nessseary we rest ibra.. thank god mancini woke up a bit

May be coz he's not fit to play, coz otherwise I doubt Mancini would want to rest Zlatan for such a big game. Or may be he wants Zlatan to be fit at any cost for the Liverpool game.

 

[kylan05]

Gazetta line up is kinda scary. Figo's name isn't there, but Deki instead. Not sure too about Matrix, he should start. But keep Rivas warming up on the sideline, just in case Matrix's showing sign of screwing up again.

And yes, agree, where is Jimi, still injured?
