Big Edit: Please please please Moderators, delete this post, I was just wrong sorry

Wrong how?

Anyway, I hope we play with 4-4-2 and I'd love to see:

Julio Cesar
Zanetti Cordoba Chivu Maxwell (if they're fit)
Maicon Muntari Cambiasso Quaresma
Adriano Ibrahimovic

Anything less than 3pts is a disaster of epic proportions. Mou's Chelsea destroyed smaller teams like Bologna at home. I'd like to see the same, even if we're clearly not at that level just yet.

 

[tott]

we will win this game 4-0

On Sept 27, Jose said Samuel will be back in a week or two. I see him training with the squad today (pic). I won't expect to see him starting this game though. A few minutes, if he does play at all. Don't think Max will be back either.

Best to hope for current available squad:
JC - Maicon Ivan Chivu Javier - Patrick Chuchu Muntari - Adri Zlatan Mancini

The boys need a show of strength, i can see the media falling down hard on inter if the boys don't display complete superiority come Saturday. God forbid we don't come thru i can see crisis headlines Sunday morning and pressure pilling up on Mourinho and the squad.

Playing Bologna couldn't have come in a better time imo, this game can be a confidence booster if the boys deliver or it can be a reality check for Mourinho cuz there's something not quite right be it tactics or lack of confidence etc. it needs to be addressed asap...

Not trying to say Bologna are gonna be a walk in the park but realisticly speaking so far the've been the whipping boys in Serie A. I expect an attack minded starting 11 with 2 strikers from the start, Muntari is back which is a plus.

All in all the 3 points should be a formality and even if we're playing a team only intrested in defending i'm demanding a proper performance to put this crisis talk behind us...

 

[lonewolf19]

We better own them hard and show what we are really worth of.
It is a straight 3 home game and it will be a disaster if we cannot even pick up a win.

 

[shahz_nerazzurri]

Considering that Roma are gonna rip us apart in the next game week, it is absolutely vital that we get 3 points from this game.
Bologna have lost all 4 of their previous games. Their only points until now, have come from beating Milan @ sansiro.

 

[rockball]

I want Jimenez back.

 

[Suneet]

Yes, like Shahz said its very important to win this game. I dont rate this seasons Roma that highly.

Lets hope Vieira has a good game and lets also hope Ibra doesnt play 90 minutes, he needs some rest, its showing on him.

 

[Ziyad]

Adriano if we struggle in this game i will personally ban you from opening these threads

I hope its nice and easy and maybe changing it up to see the potential of this team is a good thing.2 wingers and 2 in the box,plus Viera and Muntari in the middle.Let Cambi rest and JZ for LB.

 

[Bes]

Wrong how?

Anyway, I hope we play with 4-4-2 and I'd love to see:

Julio Cesar
Zanetti Cordoba Chivu Maxwell (if they're fit)
Maicon Muntari Cambiasso Quaresma
Adriano Ibrahimovic

I posted a video in here, so i edited it again and said delete it.

I would rest Ibra, and if we have difficulties we can bring him on. we need him against roma.

Adriano if we struggle in this game i will personally ban you from opening these threads

WTF?
And if he won't? What should I do to you?
Ok. It's a deal?

Why isn't Chivu called up? and where is Balotelli as well?
It looks like Crespo won't feature at all this season, even Obinna is called up before him!

 

[darsez]

obinna? Crespo must be pissed

 

[Alessandro]

Obinna might get some minutes... Chivu aint 100%

Crespo will play coppa italia...

Since neither of Chivu and Maxwell has been called up,Mou will probably put Zanetti left back...
Now regarding the two positions in our defence if we consider Cordoba a certain starter it's gonna be either Rivas or Cambiasso...
If Cambiasso plays there then our midfield line will be consisting of Stankovic-Vieira-Muntari...If Rivas starts the match then Cambiasso will play in his natural position..But I also think that Cambiasso has performed fairly well as a CB and Mourinho never hesitated to use him in this position..

So I'd go with: Julio Cesar,Maicon,Cordoba,Cambiasso,Zanetti,Stankovic,Vieira,Muntari,Quaresma,Zlatan,Adriano..

But as I have said millions of time,I prefer Cruz to Adriano and I continue to consider the Argentinian striker more reliable and consistent than Adri..
