Re: MD:34 Juventus - Roma (April 22, 2012)(20:45 Local, 14:45 EDT) [R] Game sold out in 40 minutes. It will be a charged atmosphere. Please let Roma spoil Juve's Scudetto run on their home soil. Please, please, please.
They're called juBentus or Rube or juBe not Juventus. It will be interesting to see if Vucinic celebrates should he score against us,Borriello to.
oops, I didn't look over that too closely. JUVENTUS Buffon Lichtsteiner, Barzagli, Chiellini, De Ceglie Vidal, Pirlo, Marchisio Pepe, Matri, Vucinic ROMA Stekelenburg Taddei, Kjaer, Heinze, Angel Gago, DeRossi, Pjanic Totti Lamela, Osvaldo

if you guys put pressure on PDC the left side will become a high way for Roma players. But once that happens juve will switch to a 3-5-2....
At this moment I feel this is our best formation to face the cheaters. ---------Stekelenburg--------- ------------------------------ Taddei--Kjaer--De Rossi--Angel ------------------------------ ------------Gago------------- ------Pjanic-----Marquinho---- ------------------------------ ------------Totti------------- ------Borini------Osvaldo-----
I wouldn't put Borini out there right after the injury. Also, him and Osvaldo haven't proved much of a tandem so far. Better go with Lamela or Bojan instead. AAccording to form, Bojan.
I would say De Rossi but he's most likely playing CB.. Not sure if Gago has the ability to mark him all game.
I don't think Lamela should start this game. I could see the Juve players trying to get him to lose his head like last time. Throw Bojan or Borini in there And too bad our tactics would never allow it, but we need someone marking Pirlo at all times. If DDR wasn't playing CB, I'd say Gago should be on Pirlo at all times like his shadow.
I don't think Borini should be thrown out their to start after missing so much time. I would rather have him come on in the 60th minute. I like it when DDR is a central back because the ball moves better and he can play the ball in tight spaces. I'm not a fan of gago by any means because his passes aren't very accurate and that can hurt us against juve. I wish we could replace Gago in the starting lineup due to his lack of passing accuracy but we can't afford to. Possession football only works when all 11 men can pass.
Agreed!!!!!!I like pjanic too but he is young and his injuries are from us playing him so much in the first half of the season.
Bergonzi is refereeing. Get ready for some dubious decisions. It all depends on who the powers that be want to win the Scudetto. If it's Milan, I can easily see some weird decisions in our favour.
I believe Roma can get a good result if they can dominate Pirlo and Vidal. Huge game for our midfield
