    Bradley should stomp his old club.

    I wonder if Piris,Pjanic or Balza will start the match! I guess they needs some rest to avoid future injury. What say guys?

    I'm pretty sure they'll all start. 5 days is enough rest between 2 games.

    With the return of Lamela things are going to get complicated for Zeman. We have to many promising players.

    Would like to see Lamela- Totti-Pjanic

    Us getting healthy is a blessing but hell we have so many people that can start this season.

    There's no chance Pjanic won't play when he's in this much form. And I doubt Lamela won't play. We might see Totti in the center of the trident, though. I read that the club may punish Osvaldo for that red by not letting him play the game.

    I don't know, like to have one player that stays high and presses opposing defenders. For me one of Osvaldo/Destro always needs to play. I also remain convinced that Pjanic is out of place in this midfield. He's shined outside of it, last night is an anomaly as the absence of Totti changed the dynamics in his favor.

    All I know is Pjanic needs to be on the pitch at all times right now.

    Lamela-Destro-Pjanic would be fun to watch.

    I just read that the injury to Destro isnt as bad as first though and he might be okay for Chievo. DDR is there anything actually official about Destro yet?

    Just fine him and let Zeman do the rest of the punishing in practice. Probably going to need Osvaldo's headers this weekend against Chievo. Doubt they will even leave their own half the entire game.

    I just hope the weather doesn't ******** us up. Because if there is even a little bit of rain, there's no way we'll be able to play on that godawful pitch.

    I think we might see Osvaldo sold in the summer. I know Zemen loves him but with Destro being groomed as our striker for the future, and Ovaldo's behavior it might be the only option. The good thing is with Zeman hopefully Osvaldo puts in 15-20 goals and ups his value significantly. This is just what I think might happen not what I want. I like Ozzy.

    i can't see Bradley not starting this game given how well he has played (I didn't see yesterdays game but reports were he was solid). We need to find a way for bradley and ddr to play together. I like Tach, but in my opinion Bradley gives us more right now.

    Florenzi-Tach-Bradley is about the perfect midfield for us. Tach plays the quick, vertical, incisive passes to get us quickly transitioned into attack. Florenzi is the fast one in the midfield and semi-frequently make runs with the ball to the box from the wing. Bradley is the workhorse with a little bit of skill to cleverly get the ball out of defense. He can also score a few goals a season as well as put in a few good assists, but mainly, he's the defensive cover and he does a good job of that.

    As far as I'm concerned, DDR's poor form has put him out of a job. I could theoretically see him take Florenzi's spot, but DDR doesn't seem to buy into the running that position requires. I could see him doing Bradley's job, but thus far DDR's performances have been below Bradley and also makes some incredibly rash/dumb decisions. We've seen him in Tach's position, and he just infuses LE into our game with his twists and turns with the ball and in general slowing down of the forward moves.

    Sorry, at the moment, with his form and how the team has been coming together the past weeks with him out, he doesn't have a starting spot.
