What tactic should Mancini use?

[Frisko]

Obvioulsy the game against Basel heavily influenced these formations. You can see that we all have Ze Maria as a starter now, and Favalli as well. That could change after the 2nd leg.

Of course Veron needs time, and I think he will be a key player for us.

Hey frisko.

I agree with you. At certain stages of the coming season we will be almost playing 3 games a week (serie a, europe(hopefully) and the coppa.) Mancini will cut the squad to 26-27 before the season starts and with so many games and injuries, fatigue he will practicly say
"Every player here will get their chance, when it comes you must prove to me"
and prove to us too

 

[Frisko]

Definetely helal25, and I think thatt will actually happen, everyone will get a chance.

This is what I assume Mancini wud use:

Yes, it does seem that we might start with 4-4-2, but one can't exclude 4-3-3 or the diamond one as well. Mancini has used 4-3-3 in Lazio as well, especially when his 3 players - Muzzi, Corradi, Lopez were fit.

Anyway, for 4-4-2:

GK - Toldo
CB - Cordoba
CB - a very stiff competition : Burdisso/Materazzi/Cannavaro (Canna's fitness might not help him)
RB - J.Zanetti
LB - Another competition here: Favalli/Coco
DM - A very tough question at the moment, coz we don't know if Mancini wud use Davids as DM. Otherwise, C.Zanetti/Cambiasso are there. For me, Davids for the DM position is a must.
CM - Veron will get the nod in the beginning, otherwise Emre wud be more than willing to step up in his position, Stankovic as well (if we get Cesar)
RM - Ze Maria/V.Meyde. But I believe Ze Maria will get the nod in the beginning coz of his serie experience, not to forget he's a set piece specialist as well.
LM - Stankovic. But things cud change if Cesar arrives, unless Mancini is eager to play him in the LB position. Emre is also there, if we need.
CF - Adriano
CF - Yet another stiff competition position: Vieri/Recoba/Martins.
I guess Vieri will get the nod in the beginning, especially after Martins' injury as well. But Vieri is also recovering from injury as well, so Recoba might the chance in the beginning ??

Well, that's a flat 4-4-2:

----------------------- toldo ----------------------

j.zanetti ---- cordoba ---- materazzi --- favalli

ze maria ----- veron ------ davids --- stankovic

--------------- vieri ------------ adriano ---------


And there's always the chance of formation change or other players getting chance to play more if:

# Mancini intends to play Cesar in LB/LM. Stankovic might have to be moved to LCM if Cesar is played in LM and Favalli/Coco to be out, if Cesar played in LB position.

# Veron's poor form means Emre's chance.

# What if Davids can't play as DM ? That wud indeed be a disaster for Inter, with the quality of squad we have.

 

[Pod]

I see Vieri-Adriano attack only against some weak sides at home.Against strong teams and especially away from home we must play Adriano with some support striker.

hey pravesh, i know we dont always agree, but i do agree with everything u just said except for this. i believe that this is davids best position. yes he didnt really play it at juve, i know. But at holland and especially barca (his best performance yet) he played Behind a offensive midfeidler (e.g. ronaldinho). so he will be first choice in front of cambiasso and c zanetti. davids is not the player to be bench warmer, and a few years down the track when he is retired cambiasso should be taking his first team role.

on other notes, i say forget cesar.
everyone, especially mancini knows how well stankovic can play there. so no need for cesar here.

Then i thought maybe at LB... but i think Favalli and hopefully Coco at the moment is a better option. inters problem as always, buying a player when he is not needed. Against basel we had 7 new signings playin :scared: lets hope we dont get anymore and let this squad unite together. Sorry cesar but we have a LB and LMF. But knowing mancini he wants to bring lazio to inter oh btw nice post pravesh

Hmmm... When Lopez played he was always used in a very wide position, never as a striker.

I really don't see Inter playing with a 4-3-3.

And as usual, you disagreed with me on the same point (kinda), isn't it ?
I didn't mean that Davids can't play as DM or so. What I meant was, what IF Davids fail as DM.
It's possible, which I don't think so if he plays like for Holland in some games for EURO 2004. I just meant - IF.

And yes, Cesar's arrival is not a must for us.

 

[snake]

Frisko, correct. C.lopez played almost as wing foward/striker, on the left. He had good characteristics for it (e.g. speed etc..)

for us we only really have VDM on the right and nobody else, recoba is too central and martins is needed up front. So i dont believe 4-3-3 is for us, but then again does not mean it wont happen.


Pravesh, sorry i think i finally understand what you have been trying to say :depress: but i dont see why he should fail? we can put the same question on any player. But the person who i think most deserves it, certainly isnt davids but i think veron.

Either he will regain some form, or be a HUGE disappointment like he was with man u and chelsea. Also more questions on him is the injuries. Last year chelsea wasted millions on him to recover from almost a season long injury. If that happens here it will be pointless because by then his loans over oh pravesh check my post about a playmaker in transfer and rumours i want your opinion, thanks.

I also said stg like that.

4-3-3 doesn't mean with 3 strikers. Lopez was used as LCF. 4-3-3.
But Lopez also played as striker, when Cesar was used in LCF position, if I am not wrong ??

No problem, helal25.

we can put the same question on any player. But the person who i think most deserves it, certainly isnt davids but i think veron.

coz Davids has most of the time played with a pure DM.
It's said that his Ajax days were different though. But I also see how he did well when played in that position in EURO 2004, when Cocu was not playing as DM. In Barcelona as well, he got support from Cocu.

Nonetheless, here as well we have Veron, Emre who can help him. :stuckup:

 

[Dalmat]

Hi Interfans,I'm Dalmat from Hungary

So my favourite formation is :

-------------------------------------Toldo
----------J.Zanetti-----Cannavaro------Materazzi-------Coco
------------------------------------Davids
------------------------Stankovic---------Verón
------------------------------------Recoba
-------------------------Adriano------------Martins

 

[Giorgio]

Which is weird when Stankovic is playing even better than Nedved at that spot. We can´t spoil that by playing him as RM!

Janku can be backup if he comes IMO. And offload Andy VDM. :stuckup:

True, Stankovic can be better than Nedved in that role and is proving that at the moment. But I personally feel that he willl do just as well on the RM so we wouldn't really be spoling anything.

Does everybody agree with that Ze Maria is a better attacker than il capitano

and is il capitano better defensively.

In other words is it the right thing to do by putting Ze maria in front of J Zanetti or should it be swapped.

I think they should alternate roles during the games but majority of the time should be Ze Maria up front.

I do agree that Ze Maria is better than J.Zanetti offensively.
They cud ofcourse swap their positions during the course of the game, helping each other. Ze Maria's long passes are better than J.Zanetti, whereas J.Zanetti's long runs seem to be better than Ze Maria. I guess, if they are played together, it cud well be a good combination. And may be that was the reason why V.Meyde gor scared of, if the rumours are true.

J.Zanetti shud be played in RM position, and Ze Maria shud be played in RM, or RB if J.Zanettis is unavailable or is played in other positions. I love J.Zanetti starting those long runs fro the defence, let it continue.

 

[snake]

Yes, I agree with you. How great would it be if he won the scuddeto as il capitano before he retires

 

[Frisko]

J Zanetti's dribbling is the best in Serie A, and his long runs are simply legendary. Awww this brings back such nice memories, such as his long run in Turin and his great pass to El Jardinero... the rest is history

I think Ze Maria would be better than V D Meyde during difficult games, since he could cover for Capitano and let him get forward, when Andy's defensive skills are basically none.

J Zanetti should be our RB, but with license to kill :dielaugh: Ze Maria would give him that!

For people who are interested about Burdisso.

I have been watching him in the olympics. He is a good defender but u can see he lacks a touch of experience. It will be a mistake to give him first team football instantly. He needs to work it in.

Also i watched kily play
He is a very good left winger, so i dont see the reason why this 30y.o. cant be our back up left winger??

Dont Froget fellas head on over to the Off topics and Sports section/ Wining eleven topic and enter in the Tournament i only have 5 spots left so make sure u get in!

 

[Ziyad]

I have to say i watched Burdisso today only...Not much i know and that is why i would hope that we give him time to develop and not throw him as a starter...Keep the rest of the defenders cause we will need them.
