We played a match against the Allievi today to prep for this. We have no wins and two draws in six away matches. We've scored only once away from home... On a positive note... We've almost equalled our away wins total for all of last season and it's just early December!
Montolivo out 7-10 days. (So you're telling me we have a chance!) Sneijder was not convocato for Inter. Our guys... BEHRAMI, BORUC, DE SILVESTRI, GAMBERINI, GILARDINO, JOVETIC, KHARJA, LAZZARI, LJAJIC, MUNARI, NASTASIC, NATALI, NETO, PASQUAL, PAZZAGLI, ROMIZI, ROMULO, SALIFU, SILVA and VARGAS. Injured: Cassani, Kroldrup and Montolivo We've been using a 4-4-2 in training for most of the week.
Some doubts as to 4-3-1-2 or 4-4-2 but it's expected that our starters will be... Boruc De Silvestri, Gamberini, Natali, Pasqual Munari, Behrami, Lazzari, Vargas Gilardino, Jovetic Lazzari and Munari are one yellow from a suspension.
********, Jovetic out, Ljajic from the first minute. Looks really like Ljajic is our Jojo sub and not more. Natali is has his place back. Fiorentina: Boruc, Pasqual, Gamberini (C), Natali, De Silvestri, Vargas, Munari, Lazzari, Behrami, Gilardino, Ljajic, disp. Neto, Silva, Kharja, Nastasic, Salifu, Romizi, Romulo. All. Rossi Inter: Julio Cesar, Nagatomo, Lucio, Samuel, Maicon; Motta, Cambiasso, Faraoni; Coutinho, Pazzini, Milito. A disp. Castellazzi, Cordoba, Alvarez, Poli, Zarate, Castaignos, Muntari. All. Ranieri
Minuto 42. il ex-viola Pazzini opens the score. i think we are incapable to score away....+ Lucio, Samuel, Maicon are a wall Without Jojo we have 50% less firepower. everybody is fighting well, but that's not enough.
In the first half i thought when Inter scores the 1:0, we can't react. 2:0. almost a waste of time to watch this game to the end.
Nope. I'm actually stoked about our future. Mutu is uber-talented but, frankly, a complete and utter dipshizz. As Rossi said after the match, he has a lot of work to do, but I think he'll get it done. We never beat Inter, home or away.
This. We are in a bad place, but Mutu is definitely not the solution. I appreciate what he gave to us when he wasn't making stupid life choices, but he's just too much of a distraction. I'd rather give Ljajic chances even if he fails than deal with Mutu anymore. Hopefully Rossi can ease some of the primavera players into the first team. I have faith in this coach, he's already given younger players a chance more than Miha did (even if he too keeps playing Natali for some reason).
No no, letting him leave was the right step. it was more a ironic thing yesterday evening, when he scored the matchwinner for Cessena. I hope he can save Cessena this season. The only bright spot yesterday was Salifu. He has the right physique, technique and and and.... But what's up with Gilardino? Ok we have much rotation etc. but we need sometimes the unexpected goals from him, atm he's sharp like a one year old razorblade....
Salifu impressed me, too. I think Gilardino can still be good in a traditional, target-man kind of role but we have him playing WAY too far from the goal, for me. He always gets run down from behind on long through balls.
