We lost the derby and that hurt .. now its time to redeem ourselves by taking out a team that to this day is still seen as scudetto contenders. I hate this team almost as much as i hate the merda. But aside how from how much i hate this team of gypsies, nobody can deny that they have quality players, play exciting football, have a great coach, ambition and a president with vision.

This is a team that has exactly what we are lacking... a killer attack. Cavani is 2nd in the top scorers table with 22 goals, hamsik with 9 and lavezzi with 6... more goals than Lazio has scored in total all season. I remember we argued earlier this year that we had a better defense, but with only conceding 2 goals less than them ... it's not much of a margin to say we have a better defense.

Last time we played napoli, zarate was able to find the back of the net .. hopefully he can do it again and redeem himself from another pitiful low scoring season.


  flag00FORZA LAZIO! 

I just noticed we actually have one extra week to plan our strategy for the conquest of Napoli.

i just noticed that yesterday .. forgot this was an internatioal weekend. If you live in Canada you'll have to get up at 6:30am to watch this game which blows. I swear i think ac milan and juve seem to always get broadcasted and afternoon games.

This weekend will be mighty interesting as the other two big games will be the battle of the milans and juve vs rioma. We need to beat napoli at all costs. I'm sorry but losing to napoli is like another derby loss and this game will surely shatter CL hopes even further if  we lost to this disgusting team of gypsy fucks.

Napoli send 9 player to international teams in this week, we - as I count - max 3 player: this will be an advantage for us

IMO we need to avoid losing. A win would be terrific, but even a point will do.

Lazio has been getting the better of Napoli over the past few seasons. I hope this continues though I feel we can field a capable 11 but the bench may lack if we Reja feels he needs to adjust. Hopefully Mauri comes up big as he was and Zarate continues to do well in the Lavezzi- Zarate battles. Would also like to see Capitano for a half hour if he's healthy enough.

 

There's a chance we may go with Zarate as the lone striker. If we do, he has no excuses not to do well since he'll have complete freedom to go and do whatever he wants.

p.s. I reall don't have a hatred for Napoli (anymore than the general hatred i have for anyone who faces us  ). Perhaps because they are my grandfather's team. boh?

Agreed, I don't either. There's always a fantastic atmosphere at San Paolo, an intimidating ground for sure. Latius won't like this Napoli appreciation society however, neither Baggio10 either.  

Regards the game I'm looking forward to this one, a meeting of two teams that have set a high bar this season. Cavani's the obvious threat but Lavezzi is a man possessed when he's on the pitch, always hustling and has a lot of quality. We will have to make sure he is kept quite, because that will frustrate the supply line to Cavani for sure. 

Yes Baggio10, I agree. Napoli are only 3 points off the pace but have been well beaten by the two sides above. Again as mentioned before, Udinese look a decent bet to move above them on current form and given that they stuffed Inter and almost toppled Milan it would be well deserved. However given at this stage the top three/ four are so close anythings possible.
