MD25: AS Roma - Juventus (February 16th, 2013) [R]

This is the probable formation...
Stek
Piris----Marcos---Burdisso---Balza
Bradley---De Rossi
Lamela---Pjanic---Marquinho
Totti
Got a good feeling regarding this game,may be a win against all odds

 

According to RomaNews its:

Stek​

Piris - Burdisso - Marcos​

Torosidis - DDR - Bradley - Balzaretti​

Pjanic​

Lamela - Totti​

 

Piris as a central defender is just insane.

 

That defence is going to get destroyed tonight All we can hope is to get lucky with a free-kick or a penalty. It's the only chance we have of scoring.

 

I hope the players put a fight for the shirt, at least go down fighting...

I have this bad feeling of 4 - 1 loss or 4 - 0 ...

 

I'm not going to watch this game. I just can't. I refuse to torture myself.

 

Me, too. I've had a feeling for a week they're gonna stomp us easily. But, to be fair, whenever I've had a feeling like that in the past, we somehow managed to win.

 

I dreamt of a 3-2 win last night so I'm feeling optimistic! Piris is a solid 1v1 defender. And I'm looking forward to.see kill bill start.

 

piris is used to pushing wide and forward. it will be strange to watch him as CB. is it confirmed yet?

 

No not yet. *fingers crossed*

 

So De Rossi is the sweeper? Interesting...

 

I have that poster!

Lets hope this preformance just doesnt make us all cry.

 

Stek​

Piris-Burdisso-Marcos-Toro​

Pjanic-DDR-Marq​

Lamela-Totti-Osvaldo​

 

But so is Torosidis. I imagine Piris and Torosidis are wingback types if its a 3-4-2-1.

 

ROMA (3-4-2-1): Stekelenburg; Piris, Burdisso, Marquinhos; Torosidis, De Rossi, Pjanic, Marquinho; Lamela, Totti; Osvaldo

 

That midfield is going to get torn apart.

 

Is it me or are our formations getting farther and farther away from utilizing our squad? Before you know it, Totti will be the sweeper and Burdisso will be a winger.

 

I wacthed the Damn Yankees last night and therer a lyrics in one of the songs that made me think of this match:

All you really need is heart
When the odds are sayin' you'll never win
That's when the grin should start​

This same fixture last season we came into it with as hopeless an outlook as we do this time. And we showed a lot of fight and spirit in that game.​
