Parma - Inter (12 Nov 06)

[Hussein]

This fixure has been always a pain for us and we really have a dismal record at the Tardini.

I really hope we will finally be able to break our duck on that turf and win the 3 points that will confirm that we are the best team in Italy at the moment.

Parma has a young team and we have to play the kind of games we played in Moscow and Messina to oversee them. Their players to watch are Morfeo (ex-nerazzurro), Budan and Gasbarroni.

I think Mancini will play with the following formation:

------------------Cesar--------------------

Maicon----Cordoba----Materazzi----Burdisso(Grosso)

Figo-------Vieira-------Dacourt-------Zanetti

------------Ibrahimovic----Crespo-----------

 

[eversuker]

we should never be overconfident on the win because we had examples how that can turn out.

 

[Marcello]

just play with solari out on the wing no need to change the formation damit

I think Zanetti provides Mancio more security when he plays in midfield and helps the team more to keep the ball as much as possible.

Solari can be used in the 2nd half in this one.

------------Ibrahimovic----Crespo--------


Please don't put Nico as LB, that way Mancini is just ruining him! It is not his position!

d fact is despite signing Grosso and Maxwell, LB remains an Achilles heel for us

I don't think so, I just think that we all believe that our LB can do just what Zanetti does on the right, we overrate all our left backs...

 

[Digitalism]

Palermo won...the pressure is on us

Sorry, but I can't agree about this!
Grosso is out of form, yeah, but he is still doing OK with his crosses from the left. And Maxwell... Well, I have high hopes about this guy. He is fast, good tehnician, and has good cross. He is also out of form at the moment, coz of his long injury. But he will be back in form, don't worry...

Can't wait for this. A win here on ground that Inter has only won once in the last sixteen matches strenghtens my belief that this is the stongest Inter i have seen in many years. God knows I was right about Milan's class this year...

 

[Fabio]

The line up has been confirmed, by one of my sources and its pretty much the usual...Crespo and Ibra upfront..

 

[Barbas]

so what's the line up then? i mean the 11 players.

Gazzetta got it right

I don't agree. LB isn't a weak spot, they don't make mistakes or anything, but it's just that they should do more while attacking, but luckily that is not a problem. And our attacking play always seems to drift slightly to the right side of the field, even for left-footed players. Atm Grosso (& Maxwell) aren't improving Favalli and aren't at their potential, but they don't really do anything wrong.

 

[1919]

never ever said LBs are liabilities, but they are the area we need to improve on.
