THE WOLF'S DEN - Tana dei Lupi II

[Frenchesco]

Yes I believe we all feel the same. It is not something we are used to enjoy often. We can talk and dream...the players it s different.
I dont know about their midfield... I read that from the guy writing for Bari on the Offside.
It should be beautiful watching this game from the stands today again...hopefully we'll have a good streaming.

Ah, so Almiron is a doubt, at least according to tuttobari.com, via the Bari Offside (not a bad read). Gazzi may play, who is a bit of headless chicken, with red hair.

As for streams, www.bet365.com are covering it (region restricted), and ATDHE and Ustream have one listed:

BARI-ROMA: CONFERMATO IL TRIDENTE (GUARDA LE FOTO DAL SAN NICOLA)
pubblicata sabato 3 aprile 2010 – www.romanews.eu

E' terminata verso le 13.30 la riunione tecnica della Roma. Ranieri ha sciolto l'ultimo dubbio: al posto dello squalificato Perrotta giocherà Taddei e non Brighi. Quindi più spinta offensiva a centrocampo, con il brasiliano a supporto del tridente Totti-Toni-Vucinic. Nel Bari sorpresa Kamata, che ha vinto il ballottaggio con Koman.

FORMAZIONI ROMA-BARI (ore 15, stadio San Nicola)

BARI (4-4-2): 1 Gillet; 15 Belmonte, 5 Masiello A., 18 Bonucci, 17 Masiello S.; 90 Alvarez, 9 De Vezze, 14 Gazzi, 88 Kamata; 10 Barreto, 6 Castillo. A disp.: 25 Padelli, 27 Stellini, 21 Parisi, 30 Allegretti, 11 Koman, 77 Sestu, 99 Sforzini. All. Ventura.

ROMA (4-4-2): 27 Julio Sergio; 77 Cassetti, 4 Juan, 29 Burdisso, 17 Riise; 11 Taddei, 16 De Rossi, 7 Pizarro, 9 Vucinic; 10 Totti, 30 Toni. A disp.: 32 Doni, 22 Tonetto, 3 Andreolli, 5 Mexes, 33 Brighi, 24 Cerci, 19 Baptista. All.: Ranieri.

As expected, but in a 4-4-2, which could and probably will easily be a 4-3-3, we shall see..

Gazzi, De Vezze, Kamata in the midfield for them, so they're missing Almiron and Donati.

I enjoyed the Barreto pic on the Bari offside article. ;-)

Forza Lupi!

I say a true 4-3-1-2 this weekend: with Simone-Pizza-DDR across the midfield and Menez behind Francesco and Luca. And perhaps Motta for Cassetti, though Mexes for one of the other boys at the back may be more likely.

You see, Tomzo, that little attempt at a joke there didn't quite work as expectd, did it? No one took the bait. In fact, its likely you scared off other members from posting here, who, perhaps not knowing you as well as I do, thought you were in fact serious, and so presumed you are just a bit of an ejit and so thought there's not much point in posting here. Who could blame them?

You may, however, completely unbeknownst to you, actually have been on to something, as I believe The LitM is one yellow-card away from a suspension, and coming up after this weekends relatively straight-forward and winnable home game with Atalanta is the Derby. Those Lazie farm-girls may be even shitier than usual as of late, but no doubt they still love to stop us from going top of the table, and in Derby games we all know anything can happen. So leaving Vucinic out of the starting line-up against Atalanta may not be a bad idea, and he has also been struggling with match-fitness lately. Plus, you need to keep your really big players fresh for the big games, so let Menez and Toni and Perrotta see off Atalanta.

Did we already have our Eboue convo? I can't recall whether maro said he was shite. It appears we've offered him 2 million per year. shield, maro, anyone?

I think if we win the scudetto this season, Rosella is going to make up for the years of disappointment and selling of players under her management by buying Messi this summer. If would be fair way to answer her critics, I think. A sort of peace offering, if you will. Plus, that Messi fella ain't bad, and we will need eventual replacements for Perrotta and Taddei anyway, positions which Messi can cover for until he's ready to step up to the giallorossi plate.
