Montella is still a naive coach, who can be outclassed tactically...The reason Juventus lost to them is because of their mental blackout...I feel any good coach can outclass Fiorentina by plating correct tactics --> even Verona almost equalised with a man down
lol No idea about the third game which I imagine was when he was with Catania (unless you guys are talking about Coppa Italia which is just meh...) but, though Zeman schooled him, we completely dominated the Serie A match at our place last season. It's tougher when we have to deal with DDR reaching out to palm away shots, of course.
From what I can recall Borriello has had two decent crosses so far this season and he scored one (Cheivo)and had the other cleared of the line (Lazio).
In truth, the false 9 formation with Totti or ljajic is not built for crossing unless they're on a counter. If you're playing with a true cf, then you're game incorporates more crossing. But in Roma possession and a false 9 the offense relies on dribbling past the final player and short tricky passes in on goal

I bet Totti will not play a single minute. It's going to take something special to get anything out of this match.
About 5 and a half hours to go. Should probably go and get some sleep. See you bright and early brothers!
