I think that Mancio won't use a 4 man defence tonight. Why? I'll tell you my logic and opinion.
In last night's interview, Mancio said that he doesn't called Coco up due to TECHNICAL reason. So what is this technical reason?
Remember the Called up players for the match against Lazio. We had the same problem as we have for tonight's match at LB because Favali was absent. Mancio decided to play that match with a 4man defence formation as the necessary players and especially Cordoba was ready and he could fulfill Favali's abcence with J.Z at LB BUT still he called up Coco as a backup, even he played and his performance was acceptable in that match.
As (1)both Favali, Burdisso and Cordoba aren't there and (2)the match against Chievo showed that Matrix-Miha duo isn't a reliable combination (although that Mancio said that they had trained with each other since that match) and (3)Ze-M and J.Z aren't that good at respectively RB and LB and also (4) Coco isn't called up, I think that Mancio wants to use a 3man defence formation.
At the winter break of this season, when pasquale loaned out, Mancio used to call up Coco as a starter or a back up like in the matches against Parma, Sampdoria and Livorno, until he got injured again. Of course we should accept Coco's performances wasn't any good enough for a club like Inter but we have a crucial game that is combined with an emergency in our defence tonight and even some average players would be useful for us. As Mancio hasn't named Coco even as a backup, that's why I think that Mancio wants to start with another type of defending formation.
I'm not saying that I'm sure about this, but what Mancio said yesterday makes me predict a 3man defence tonight.
FORZA INTER
