Lazio will probably play with 3-5-2. Its certain that Rocchi and Floccari will be in the attack. As a surprise some reports say that Barreto will be on the bench. 50 000 are expected in Olimpico and that promise hell to Bari. So its all up to the players now and of course the coach, some say that he will be on the bench in Sunday. Any info on this?

 This is what we can expect:
               Muslera
     Lich    Stendardo    radu
Brocchi Matu Ledesma Mauri Kolarov
              rocchi floccari

I think 4-4-2 or 3-5-2 or 3-4-1-2 is not the magic remedy.  There are more fundamental problem in the squad that need resolved.

Forza Lazio. But Reja is a moron. He knows 3 at the back doesn't work, that's why we dropped it. But we're trying it again?


The man hasen't got a p*****g clue!

I think we are all speachless that 4-4-2 has not been adopted, and ultimately consistency in set up achieved. Ledesma and Matuzalem are back in the middle and could probably do a half decent job there. Even with this formation Matuzalem could be given licence to link up with Floccari/Rocchi at times to bridge the gap and if Brocchi is on one of the wings then he can cover at these moments. I don't know, I don't think we will see it happen at all this season.

As for Bari, they have done as well as they could have this season so far and I think its been a fantastic campaign for them. Still, they blow on the road and will must take full advantage of this. Which means, hit them hard right from the first whistle and don't stop until the final whistle. We can't shut up shop after we score our usual token one goal. Every time it ends with us not winning, surely Reja must recognise this. Surely.

 


Positive positive positive. It helps if you write shit a lot of the time like me, Lyon will do this, Bordeaux will do that. It's the only way to keep yourself sane   



First thing's first, let's get Chelsea out the way. Mourinho knows how Chelsea are going to come out and blitz, so Inter should be ok with it. I trust him. Then we can have a little party 

Well it will happen somewhen, and at that time.....

I have faith in Sevilla, Bayern, Lyon, Inter, Barca, Bordeaux. Anybody. I shall not give up, it's the worst thing to do. I shall not back down in my conquest to see the cancerous EPL fall from grace. 

Lyon are a decent side no doubt, but I just can't believe Real have not got past the second round this time. Five minutes to go and it seems like mission impossible. Sadly I can't see Lyon getting past any of the English. I wish I could believe it but I just can't because as you say they won't show up. With Madrid gone it really leaves little else to rid us of the EPL sides. Barca, yes. Inter, well they've still got a lot to do but they must do just that.

This has been embarrassing for Milan tonight, they've been totally exposed and have shamed our league. Once again I will go to bed pissed off.

To be honest it wouldn't bother me but you can guarantee that if United or Arsenal (Chelsea are out, gotta think positive here) drew Lyon. Lyon wouldn't show up and either English side would go through easily. It's always the same - a team that has the potential to beat an English doesn't because they don't show up.
Now, if Lyon DO show up, I think they could give both of them a good game, and knock one of them out, but it's too much of a risk, so I'm hoping Real get another two goals... but it ain't going to happen!

And the second round curse lives on it would seem for Real Madrid.
