My day didn't start off as good as I would have wanted. Had signed up for this great new apartment, and was supposed to find out tomorrow if I got it. Got a letter today, saying I didn't get it. Fantastic start of the day.

The day continues with knowing that I will probably be at the sports pub alone tomorrow, and I'm not even sure I can convince the amateurs at the sports pub to show Arsenal-Milan. Apparently Celtic-Barca and Lyon-Man Utd are bigger games.

That's when I knew that this day would be bad. It's the story of my life. When something bad happens, it becomes like a bottle of ketchup.

However, it has been compensated with a semi-good thing lately, so now I am puzzled.

Oh yeah, do I need to mention I suffer from delusional paranoia and that the world surrounds around me?

 

[Cro Nerazzurro]

Pazza Inter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pazza Pazza Pazza Inter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[golazo]

Any lineups yet?

 

[Luka]

I'm going supernova here.

 

[darsez]

Man, I couldn't focus on work at all this morning. I hope we win so that I can work after the match.

 

[shahz_nerazzurri]

So Mancini goes with the predicted lineup. Viera and Figo on the bench.

--------------J.Cesar-----------
Maicon---Matrix---Cordoba---Maxwell
---J.Zanetti----Chivu-----CAmbiasso--
----------------Stankovic------------
---------Ibra-------------Cruz--------

Bench: Crespo, Figo, Viera, Suazo, Burdisso, Maniche, Toldo.

I predicted the same lineup and the same bench yesterday, I should get a reward.

 

[Adam]

Less then an hour away. I feel as calm as can be. Not nervous one bit, which is strange because I'm always nervous ahead of big matches.

I'll probbaly get nervous when I see Mancini's lineup.

 

[darsez]

What's your prediction for the score?

According to uefa.com, Fabio Aurelio is their LB. How's he playing? I've never watched him, but I remember he was quite good in FM 2005 or 06

 

[shahz_nerazzurri]

Actually Chivu is playing as a LB, and Maxwell is on the wings, and APPARENTLY WE ARE PLAYING 4-4-2, if Uefa.com is ot be believed.

 

[Adam]

Great linup. For once Mancini got it right.

Chivu and Maxwell can interchange positions depending on how the match is looking and no Vieira and no Figo.. This is just perfect.

 

[shahz_nerazzurri]

Just saw Liverpool's lineup. I havent followed English soccer at all this year, who is Lucas lieva and fabio Aurielo??

Kuyt and Torres are their attacking duo and Pennant is on the bench for them.
Babel and this Aurielo guy are on the left flank for them. Come on Maicon and Zanetti, show these amatures how its done.


Also, are we actually gonna play the 4-4-2, or is it Uefa.com talking stuff they have no idea about?

 

[Luka]

I just saw it on Uefa.com too.

4-4-2 with Maxwell and Javier on the wings?!!!

IS THIS SOME ****IN JOKE?!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, I'm hoping that they have a poor left flank too. I thought Torres is starting according to uefa.com? Where do you see him on the bench?

Re: 4-4-2, do you trust Mancini or uefa.com more?

 

[Jonnie_Venom89]

4-4-2?:|.......I assume Uefa got it wrong. 4-3-1-2 All the way

 

[Luka]

inter.it says:

INTER (4-4-2): 12 Julio Cesar; 13 Maicon, 2 Cordoba, 23 Materazzi, 6 Maxwell; 4 Zanetti, 19 Cambiasso, 26 Chivu, 5 Stankovic; 8 Ibrahimovic, 9 Cruz.

Well it's better, but push Stanek behind the strikers!!!!!! God we can't play 4-4-2, WE HAVE NO WINGERS GOOD ENOUGH!!!!

 

[Jimmy]

Our weapon is Maicon after seeing the lineups. Aurelio is shit at defending, and Babel is more of a striker. We gotta get Zanetti and Maicon to combine, and then Cruz will be a massive weapon, or Cambiasso's attacking runs with a backpass. That's how we should score now.

I bet that Liverpool will play a ridiculously high defensive line, with an off-side trap. Let's hope we are more attentive to it, than against Juventus, even if Cruz beat it once.

Players to take advantage of in our opponent side:

Aurelio and Hyypiä.

 

[Forza ragazzi]

LIVERPOOL (4-4-2): 25 Reina; 3 Finnan, 23 Carragher, 4 Hyypia, 12 Fabio Aurelio; 8 Gerrard, 21 Lucas Leiva, 20 Mascherano, 19 Babel; 9 Torres, 18 Kuyt.
In panchina: 30 Itandje, 6 Riise, 11 Benayoun, 14 Xabi Alonso, 15 Crough, 16 Pennant, 17 Alvaro Arbeloa.
Allenatore: Benitez.
INTER (4-4-2): 12 Julio Cesar; 13 Maicon, 2 Cordoba, 23 Materazzi, 6 Maxwell; 4 Zanetti, 19 Cambiasso, 26 Chivu, 5 Stankovic; 8 Ibrahimovic, 9 Cruz.
In panchina: 1 Toldo, 16 Burdisso, 7 Figo, 14 Vieira, 28 Maniche, 9 Cruz, 29 Suazo.

Official from inter.it.

Liverpool have respect for us, because Leiva and Mascherano have their greatest strengths in defence. Gerrard will move in centrally often and Babel is very quick.

I'm nervous as never before.

 

[Durai]

i feel sorry for those guys who cant see the match.

 

[rockball]

I am sure we will play 4312..uefa doesn't know much.

If Kuyt and Torres are on the bench...who is starting for them?
