as much as I like Lavezzi I would be suprised if that happens (however Dela did mention that he might be back one day)... One who leaves Napoli is rarely welcomed back, even if he is Pocho! His comeback would only take away playing time from Insigne...and Hamsik would not be able to express himself as he has been doing this year..... and Dela would not pay his new Salary.......
So, it's been difficult to login lately, but someone was trying to tell me yesterday that Cavani's goal was offside. Thoughts?
To me it looks like a failed offside trap the one defender next to Cavani was trying to run back to have Cavani offside but wasn't on time... onside for me
CavaniPandev (Insigne)Zuniga -- Hamsik -- Inler -- MestoDossena -- Cannavaro (Britos) -- Campagnaro (Gamberini) -- Maggio I think this would be effective. Basically trading a midfielder (our biggest weakness) and a centerback for two fullbacks.
thats good but i think its to many attacking players Inler is going to have a heart attack out there lol
It's the same amount of attackers and defenders because it's a 4 man back line instead of 3. We usually play with a 3 man back line and 1 or 2 holding midfielders.
I think if Napoli switched to a 4 man back line, whether mesto or pandev plays depends on defensive tactics of the other team. If they are really good in the air, you probably want Pandev playing on the right because he has a pretty good finesse shot and if he cuts and shoots he's playing to his stronger foot. If not having Mesto cross some dangerous balls into the penalty area would terrorize any team who can't defend in the air well. Zuniga would probably have to sit because the only players who can really play at left back is Dossena and Aronica (to a lesser extent Britos). I think our flaws are with left footed players but we knew this before the season started. Vargas could benefit from some time out on loan get accustomed to Serie A I think the thing about the 4 man formation Napoli employed vs. dnipro and Genoa is that players can switch around, Insigne and Hamsik always seem to be switching between center and left and that will definitely mess with defenses because they are both goal scoring threats and Hamsik is always looking for the killer pass
This is why I dislike Bigon so much and blame Dela for our problems and not Mazzari! And our friends in Fiorentina will be spending more in summer http://football-italia.net/27239/fiorentina-set-january-spend
just a rumor i dont think its happening we seem to be going after Panilla which would be great because he can score of the bench and hopefully the Panjic rumors come through...
dont get your hopes up about a back 4 lol, it aint gonna happen, whatsa more ridiculous is that if you saw/read/heard mazzarri's interview you would have heard that pandev is till his no.1 choice, even after the genoa game! mazzarri is the poster boy for stupid!, how can he still feel pandev should be in the pecking order ahead of insigne? he has done nothing to be ahead of anyone, its just plain ridiculous, ovbiously winning and giving the fans a their moneys worth is of no interest to mazzarri. clearly onside, he's level with no parts of the body that you can score with ahead of the defenders,
something tells me there is something in Pandev's contract....which prob states he gets to play/start x amount of games...
I hope AC Milan draw first blood, then Mazzarri will use a back 4 and then we'll score 4 goals again and he'll still think that back 3 works more lol
