Hope we can pick off were we left last night.It's the evening fixture next Sunday and I just checked ESPN and those f##k# have decided to show a ligue 1 game instead of this Anyways we have a great record at home to Udinese so I expect a home win here.
Like i said last night, im not going to predict this result in anyway or form. We play class one week, dire the next. Im sick of saying this but lets hope last night was finally the turning point.
Pjanic is a dilemma, he's young and an exciting prospect for the club if he progresses as panned however he doesn't really fit in Zeman's system apart from as Totti's understudy. An ideal situation right now would be to trade for Veratti but that's not going to happen as Roma's future is longer than Zeman's at the club.
The only player in our midfield that deserves to be subbed to some extent(!) is Tachtsidis, but Zeman won't play Pjanic in his position. Even though he did play pretty well when he was subbed on vs Genoa.
It would suck to lose Pjanic, as I rate him the highest out of all our youth. But if he doesn't fit and his transfer money could finance another great CB, I wouldn't completely be against selling him.
I think Spurs are going to bid for him again. One thing that's true about Spurs is we never bid once for players and THFC has tracked him since he was at Lyon. I personally don't understand the whole Pjanic thing. Pjanic can play deep if necessary, he's done it many times for Bosnia. I'll keep saying this but Tacht to me hasn't locked down a starting spot. I think we should continue to rotate midfielders until one claims the spot. Not that I expect that to happen.
udinese are a shit away team, not just this year but last 3+ years as well. we're talking about the team that only managed 1 away win in 2009/10. i honestly think this will end in 3 points for us
Loy's of injury doubts. Balzaretti abandoned training today. He was carried off the cart. Totti is not training. Florenzi is not training. Destro is out. Dodo is still not training regularly.
Maybe we might finally get to see Pjanic in Totti's position on the left.If Balzaretti is out when can always rely on Taddei to come in and do the job though he won't offer to much in attacking sense.Bradley can slot in for Florenzi so I'm not too worried.
Marquinho it is then. .................................Stek................................... Piris........Marcos............Castan.........Marquinho De Rossi..............Tachtsidis.................Bradley Lamela................Osvaldo.....................Pjanic
I don't see Zeman doing that. If I'm not mistaken he hasn't really used him there and Zeman isn't one to put people out of what he feels is their ideal position.
Pjanic or Marquinho ? I'm guessing you mean MARQ well he should have no problem playing him there when you consider he played in that position a few times last season for us and done alright.He's great attacking wise anways. Also what the heck has happened to Nico Lopez ? Scored a brilliant goal against Catania hasn't been seen since.
Destro seems to have magically recovered. Strange since they said he's be out for 18 days. Totti, Florenzi, Lobont, Taddei, and Balzaretti all still out. Dodo was tested in the afternoon match.
