This weekend Lazio have to travel away again this weekend to Bergamo as we start the whole gauntlet over again and face one of the few teams we've managed to beat all season ... ATALANTA, another team at the bottom in relegation. Lazio still get a single credible victory against a decent side. Hopefully this will be another positive result in the new year.

And while it may seem that this will be an easy match, Atalanta is one of the teams that has a game in hand and although they are below us in the table they actually managed to beat teams higher in the table such as parma and udinese and managed to tie both ac milan and inter.

After Atalanta lost to palermo and are offically in relegation they will be desperate to get points as badly as we are and should not be taken lightly. Lazio need to play every game as if it were a final as rocchi said in an interview.

Hopefully we can enter this game with new signings that can make a difference as floccari has and maybe our other regulars who've seemed to have lost their edge will find it soon as we try and earn back lost credibility since the start of the season.

I hope we can see plenty of goals and taste more victory as we officially enter the 2nd round.

FORZA LAZIO!

We should be looking to win this. We cannot keep just getting 1 point off the teams around us if we want to finish in the top 10. We need to get all 3.


And what a chance to do it. Sure Atalanta have a new manager but he joins a team with bugger all form and IMO a team that aint like the Atalanta of Del Neri's days. Doni has carried the team for many years but I think time as finally caught up with him.

They do have some dangerous players such as Tiribocchi, Aquafresca and most notably, Javier Chevanton on loan from Sevilla. All are strikers as you can gather... their midfield like us is pretty piss poor except we have someone like Kolarov who is our only midfielder creator really.
So in practicality, it'll be Doni vs Kolarov to see who can serve something up for the strikers.


But really I just said that to try and keep a realistic grip on things because I'll be disappointed if we don't come away with 3 points from Bergamo for a change.

We should win this game. Atalanta are still in their desperate state wherare as Lazio are moving out of theirs. we should take away the posatives from the last 3 games (although there weren't many from the Udinese game) and build on them.

i am confident and i predict a 0-1 victory, if Floccari is on form then perhaps 0-2

I've seen so many variants! 'I have an ace up my sleave'
                                      ' I only do my best'
                                      ' I was fouled and could not pass'   

I love to see what you are going to call him each time 

Last season they beat us 2-0 and Bergamo is one of the places where Lazio struggle to win. Atalanta recent results are on our side (L – L – D – L – L) but somehow every club with bad run manages to make its upheaval on us. Lazio is not a fucking spring-board.


PROBABILE FORMAZIONE (3-4-3): Muslera, Siviglia, Stendardo, Radu; Lichtsteiner, Firmani, Baronio, Del Nero; Rocchi, Floccari, Zàrate


Pretty standard formation since our first victory this year. Just look at the mid, someone please call 911 .

I love to see what you are going to call him each time 
whahhahaha...how about mauro "i am the one " zarate

Agreed. The fact Kolarov is missing really throws a spanner in the works for me. He is 50% of our creative threat, gone from this match! We could still win but I'm less confident about it when I would be if Alex was playing. If Zarate plays as treq then it will be up to him to create more things... but I'm not holding my breath on that, his first contributions on the assist count practically all season in the cup game hasn't altered my opinion on his lacklustre behaviour.
