Dynamo Kyiv - Inter (4 Nov 09)

[CafeCordoba]

it seems that everybody has already written off the next barca game as a loss to inter but inter are exceeding all expectation when the expectations are low like against genoa (in other words we are complacent against smaller teams)

We shouldn't compare Barca match to any Serie A match. Despite all the injuries or form or anything, Inter is still a favourite in any Serie A match. Against Barcelona that isn't the case in any way.

"Thiago Motta wasn't fit to play and he's very unlikely to recover for Wednesday." -Jose Mourinho

Oh fucking fuck! This is fucked up. Hopefully he's bluffing again.

Also..

"Sneijder? He worked with (fitness coach) Stefano Rapetti today, but he too is very unlikely to be on the pitch in Kiev."

But that was a known info already.

No Motta, no Sneijder.

Great.

 

[alvaro]

Massive, massive game. We should go all-in, not field a dull lineup and wait for the first setback goal. But this will be our lineup 100%.

Eto'o-Milito
Stankovic
Zanetti-Vieira
Cambiasso
Chivu-Samuel-Lucio-Maicon
J.Cesar

Yesterday Kiev drew 1-1 with Karpaty at home and they had their first line-up. I really believe Inter will win this one, most probably by 1 goal.

Mourinho might as well put Balotelli on along with either Etoo or Millito. Btw, hv not seen today's match, so no idea how both of them did today - but we do need a little sparks here-n-there for this match - and both etoo n milito, for my taste, is too direct.

Balotelli didn't play today, so he might start in Kiev.

Maybe it's an idea to use three strikers upfront, Milito Eto'o and Mario? Seeing that there are few midfielders left.

Good idea, since we desperately need a win from this one. Something like that might work.

I would like to see a 4-3-3 but the problem is that if this doesnt work out,we have no other player other than Balotelli who can enter the game and offer something in attack,so maybe we should keep Balo for the second half.Since mourinho said that Sneijder and Motta are unlikely to play, but I still think even if they are half ready 1 of them has to be on the bench in case we need em.We cant possibly expect anything from RQ and Mancini.

What do u think guys,Should we throw all our weapons from the start or should we wait till half time in case we havent scored to introduce them.

I am just worried that in the first 30 minutes we not gonna do anything anyway,so we might as well wait till 2nd half.

Yes we can keep Balotelli on the bench and instead use Mancini or Quaresma.

Nah I'd rather use Balo from the beginning. Because I don't see Mancini or Quaresma doing anything.

Very good point. 4-3-3 absolutely requires also Balotelli on the field. Mancini and Quaresma are totally useless in a such important match. They are not factors in anyway, and in attack you can't have other than players who can decide the match. But having all your eggs in one basket can be risky like you said. We would have no deciding factor coming in from the bench if our three best strikers would start.

Difficult choices for Mourinho.

 

[nzinter]

zanetti shouldnt be starting but he will start anyway

-------------balotelli--------------

stankovic---cambiasso------zanetti

 

[InterBoy10]

first if Sneijder ready and the team also we will Eat Kiev ,,,

------------

Eto'o-Milito
Stankovic or Sneijder
Cambiasso-Zanetti-Vieira
Chivu-Samuel-Lucio-Maicon
J.Cesar

 

[Alessandro]

We need to win... I'd risk Sneijder.

 

[CafeCordoba]

Btw, is the team going flying to Kiev already today?

 

[Campione]

Is there a possibility Sneijder to be ready for Wednesday?

 

[Xoonky]

They should be. When there are matches in those areas, teams go there a day or two early, to adapt to the weather.
