DelNero starting is a joke, in the 3 years he's been with the team he hasn't proven to be in the starting 11. He's one of the big question marks as to how he hasn't been sold to Serie C as of yet and the same goes for Biava who is was purchased in what I think in desperation and should be on the bench permanently. Not sure where you got that formation from, but if that is the lineup Reja is going with, then I have lost faith in him.. cuz that is one sad lineup.

Lazio have a reputation to redeem and I really hope hernanes is the missing link because the rest of that lineup isn't different than the Lazio we saw lose most of the season and beating micky mouse teams doesn't exactly make me feel confident in this team or the coach.

Samp are clearly favorites and have had a great season last year despite us beating them in the coppa italia (thanks to muslera).

In the league we drew them 1-1 the first game and then they beat us 2-1 the second.

That whole 3 line defense is stupid as our defenders aren't exactly world class. We need to play conservative and stick to the basic 4-4-2 or the 4-3-1-2 alla Delio.

I personally would even go with this formation:

             muslera

lich - stendardo - radu - garrido

           ledesma

foggia - matuzalem - brocchi

              hernanes
zarate                      floccari


Regardless this will be a tough game but we have to start on the right foot this time and be able to contend with the big boys instead of being a scavenger of points.

as much as I would like use to be able to play 12 on 11 against samp  I'll assume matuzalem was a typo. I like the formation but Reja has other plans, namely 3-4-2-1 and 3-4-1-2. with that formation Foggia will have to sub, at best. the line up that Massi posted is probably more truth than lies. with the injury(lack of mach fitness) to garrido, Del Nero might really get the nod  If this is the case, I have to ask. why did we off load Zauri?

LOL .. i like roslagens formation. Although with mines, i would simply remove ledesma and have him sub in for matuzalem or vice versa.

Only one day to match!!! Bookies do not give us even a little chance to pass in any European competition, but I believe we can do that and we will prove that there is one more serious team in calcio. I believe in our guys.
 

Looks like it'll be 3-4-2-1

                                     Muslera
                               Biava, Dias, Radu
              Lichtsteiner, Ledesma, Matuzalem, Del Nero
                             Hernanes, Zarate
                                     Floccari
Considering injuries, not bad. But I'd feel better if Biava was on the bench.   

Agreed. Biava is our worst player on the field ATM. I really hope we can get someone in the last few days of mercato.
 
Since Garrido has small injury, Del Nero looks like smart choice. Yeah, I know he sucks but hey the moron sold the only decent replacement on that side. Cavanda is maybe talented and all but to put him in the first game of the season is not quite smart. Although in the later stages I would surely want to see some youngsters on the field.

Fucking hate Biava. Seeing him on the field makes me so angry .. as much as the fact that lotito is a fucking merdista. We should be going full tilt on getting lugano and forget about RSC, he's just another signing like bresciano, not even worth celebrating and we need some better talent on the back line.

FORZA LAZIO AND VATTENE PRESIDENTE DI MERDA!
