Inter - Roma (27 Feb 08)

[Luka]

Funny, how I'm totally felling the opposite now, comparing to the game against Liverpool.

Back than I though my heart will explode, and now I'm like "Oh, well, Roma game, big deal".

It seems this Liverpool masaqure had to suck all the life out from me.

If Gazzetta's lineup is correct, Mancini has chosen like this

----------------JC
Maicon-Burdisso-Chivu-Maxwell
---Vieira--Cambiasso--Zanetti
----------Figo-Stankovic
--------------Crespo


Very interesting. Is it the same like last time, flanked midfielders play against Roma's wingbacks? Don't know how Inter is going to score a goal.

 

[Luka]

Mancio usually doesn't play poker games at the conferences and he said:

Are Inter likely to play with a lone striker and a packed midfield tomorrow, like in the reverse fixture?
"No, absolutely not. There will be two strikers, with Mario (Balotelli) on the bench after having had the flu for five days."

Roma Lineup

DONI
CASSETTI FERRARI MEXES TONETTO
DE ROSSI PIZARRO
TADDEI PERROTTA VUCINIC
TOTTI

Inter line up.
Julio Cesar
13 Maicon, 16 Burdisso, 26 Chivu, 6 Maxwell;
4 Zanetti, 14 Vieira, 19 Cambiasso,
5 Stankovic; 7 Figo;
18 Crespo.

Should be interesting to see how this works out. Id prefered maniche instead of suckovic, but i guess you cant have it all.

 

[Luka]

Damm....

Scratch that.

No Materazzi. + for mister M.

 

[darsez]

Good to see Chivu + Burdisso. But no Suazo..umm.. We will see what happens

Same here buddy. I don't have that enthu in me that I generally have. Hell, its even less than a normal game against mediocre opponents. And I am sure its not the effect of the tiring day I have had. I haven't felt it for a few days now.

 

[Luka]

From what inter.it is saying we will start with 4-4-1-1!

I won't judge just yet, but the math is simple. 4-3-1-2 > 4-3-2-1 > 4-4-1-1 in tearms of attacking minded players.

 

[CafeCordoba]

Well, Suazo definitely isn't a lone striker, so Crespo was a better choice for this formation.

 

[Master Inter]

This is the lineups

Inter: 12 Julio Cesar; 13 Maicon, 16 Burdisso, 26 Chivu, 6 Maxwell; 4 Zanetti, 14 Vieira, 19 Cambiasso, 5 Stankovic; 7 Figo; 18 Crespo.
Subs: 1 Toldo, 23 Materazzi, 24 Rivas, 28 Maniche, 29 Suazo, 30 Pelé, 45 Balotelli.
Coach: Roberto Mancini.

Roma: 32 Doni; 77 Cassetti, 5 Mexes, 21 Ferrari, 22 Tonetto; 11 Taddei, 16 De Rossi, 7 Pizarro, 20 Perrotta; 9 Vucinic, 10 Totti.
Subs: 27 Julio Sergio, 4 Juan, 8 Aquilani, 14 Giuly, 15 Antunes, 30 Mancini, 33 Brighi.

I know...I feel it too. Not I feel "blah" too, but I knew how the atmosphere is.

Come on guys, get over it. This is AS ROMA. Gi.a.lo.ro.sso. Spaletti. Sensi. Recall anything?

If we don't get CL this year, let's make sure we don't lose this Scudetto now.

Forza INTER!!!!!

& btw, interesting line-up. Kinda excited now. Except for Stan, ya, this time I agree w/ Azzkikr. I guess u can't have it all we'll see.

:happy:



Kick-off yet??

 

[rockball]

Let me just comment on Mancini's tactics irrespective of the result of this game.
If its a 4321 with Stan and Figo behind Crespo, its good.

If its 4411, its not.

 

[Luka]

Another proof that inter.it is not always right. Here it shows Roma to play 4-4-2, yet Spaletti always uses 4-2-3-1.

 

[rockball]

How have we started guys?

 

[lonewolf19]

Forza Inter!!!

 

[darsez]

what a shot by Crespo. Hit the post!

 

[kylan05]

Hit the post already? This early? Sounds like a good start..

 

[thomas_inter]

I tried a lot but I don't have a stream!
Does anyone has?
Where?
How?

 

[thomas_inter]

I'm listening to Scarpini... 1-0 Roma? Beautiful goal?
