Preview from Football Italia Probable starting lineups: Sampdoria (probable): Storari; Zauri, Gastaldello, Lucchini, Ziegler; Semioli, Palombo, Tissone, Mannini; Pazzini, Pozzi Fiorentina (probable): Frey; Comotto, Gamberini, Felipe, Pasqual; Donadel, Montolivo; Marchionni, Jovetic, Vargas; Gilardino Good to see Gambo back in the squad - should be interesting facing Pazzini, I'm sure he'll be motivated to stuff it up our arses. I hope we see the same Monto we saw against Roma as well. Alè Viola!
Really need to win this one to push help push ourselves back up the table and into european contention especially as its against one of our rivals for them places!! I also hope we see the montolivo we saw against roma as i think when he is at his best there aren't too many better at picking out a pass, keeping possession and setting up chances! If i was Lippi he would definitley be in my side in South Africa!! Monto and Donadel need to boss the middle of the park and we really need to take our chances when they come unlike last week!! I'm gonna say we will win this 1-0 and gilardino with the goal Also we really can't afford any injuries to our big guns with a big match against bayern munich on wednesday Really looking forward to that game!!
Semioli, Zauri, and Pazzini are all in the squad for Samp today. It's like a bizarro intra-squad match.
Well hell. Gamberini off with some sort of serious shoulder injury - and Felipe (gulp) on in his place.
1-0 Samp on a goal by Semioli. Ball watching all around by us. I'm starting to wonder if we'll ever win another match.
Haha...no kidding. I'm completely unimpressed by Felipe so far. Vargas has been neutralized, Montolivo seems frustrated, is Gila playing? Frey is moving like he's 500 pounds, etc. etc. etc. Right now no one is playing well.
it looks like this is the first time everyone has played together. there is no communication and someone will put the ball to where someone isn't making a run.
