According to the 3 previous matches I have some points to say:
1- Grosso:
It's too soon to judge him like this. He played his first match against viola but only a few minutes. Then in Lisbon he has a medium display AS THE WHOLE TEAM, so there isn't enough minutes to judge him yet. Although that I believe that we have to replace him with Maicon at R and Zanetti at left.
2- Adriano:
I'm a die hard fan of him, but we are destroying him by the way we are using him. In Lisbon, it wasn't a good idea to start him. these days he has to be a sub and come on in some stages of the 2nd half. For example when we were 0-3 against viola we had to give him some time, but we didn't. Against Sampdoria we MUUUUUUUUSSSSSSTTTTTT win to keep the team united. I personaly rate this matche's result more than the Sporting's result. The team is under a great pressure and we have to get rid of the media's critics. As I said before everybody is witting for our first slip to increase their pressure on the team. If we draw this match we shouldn't expect the media to be kind with us as all of them are like hungry wolves to eat us all, this is what I have found out as a fan who has the honour to experience our 1989 scudetto.So it's better to use Crespo instead of the Emperor.
3- Figo
I don't think that it's a good idea to bench him for this match. Maybe he should be subbed after the first half but with Cambiasso's absence and Stankovic's form it makes a big question mark over my head. ONLY if Mancio wants to use Solari instead of him then it's OK, but not Mariano. I don't know what's wrong with Mancio. I still remember when he didn't sub the then ON FIRE Solari in the match against Villareal with terrible Figo.
4- Mariano G.
Is he that big for a club like Inter and for an Important match like this?
I don't think so. He has to improve game by game and these aren't the matches to experience these targets.
5- Toldo
No doubt who is our first choice GK.
6- Samuel or Matrix
Samuel's condition is improving and he had a better performance in Lisbon than in Florance. But If you ask me, for this match we have to use Matrix. In the WC 06 he showed that he can help the attack by his long balls and for this match we need them.
7- Dacourt
I watched both the viola and Sporting matches ( ofcourse not Live) and I think that he did his duty perfectly. But don't expect him to attack, creat chances and pass the ball with inteligence. He's a PURE DM. If we are going to use him against Sampdoria then the creativity of the mids should rise from other players and not him.
8-Maxwell
He was injured for a year and then he didn't play that much in the pre season training matches. I don't see and expect him to be in form right now. It's so soon for him.
9- Formation
At present without considering our next match and Cambiasso's absence, it seems to me that the best formation will be 4312 as we had played 3 official matches with this formation but 442 won't be bad either. I think the most important element will be the players morals and how they would approch the matches.
10- Mancio
I hope to see him more flexible. What's he doing with Solari? Like last year he still has the tendency to use his subs when the match is already over without considering the players performance. Sometimes I ask myself whether he can read the opponents plays or not???? Of course he can, but why he change the tactics so late???? No body knows. Maybe Miha knows!
After all PLEASE be UNITED till the very end. This will be a great season if we win something important but if we couldn't then the whole team will be destroyed. PLEASE those who go to churches and mosques, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE pray a lot for INTER.
