Lazio will win this match, 1-0. Nothing pretty, but, HEY it's still 3pts. The Eagles win continue to "soar" as they look to extend their unbeaten steak to 2 games.
after nailing the siena match, I hope you are right again... the trip to livorno will be tough, not a match to bring the kids to with those 2 supporters groups... Peruzzi should be back in goal, but no Giannichedda and Liverani in the center of midfield...but Cesar is closer to 100% on the left wing now....
Peruzzi is not available after all for this match, but after two months of training in limbo waiting for FIFA's okay, Argentinian Matias Lequi should play. The probable lineup: Sereni, Oddo, Talamonti, Lequi, Lopez, Dabo, Gonzalez, Manfredini, Pandev, Cesar, Rocchi Now maybe the defense is shored up with the two Argentines, but the midfield is a big question mark. Dabo and Manfredini have been pretty disappointing when I've seen them in action this year compared to what they've done on their previous teams.
Dabo has played fairly well of late after a disastrous start....when he has rugged ballwinner Giannichedda beside him he's looked good, when he's had to do all the work in midfield (this south american gonzalez is weak) its been too much...Manfredini is wildly inconsistent.. Couto finally rests, who will score now?
this is real trouble now, Lotito has got to bring in some new blood in january or we're in for a long relegation battle...
