Serie A: PALERMO - LAZIO, Sunday, 17-05-09

tough match this

I mean now we have nothing to play for, seeing as we are in Europe.

I say we play Tuia, Kozak, Mendicino, Cinelli and Diakite'. If Palermo beat us and happen to take the last Europa place away from Riomma, well then so be it.

----------------Muslera

---Lorenzo -------Modibo----Tuia ----- Kolarov


--------Brochi----Matuzalem-----Cinelli



--------------Zarate (AM)



----------Kozak--------Mendicino





Perfect Team for the future, all are under 22 !!!! Brochi and Matuzalem in the middle to provide experience( A big mistake done by winger is to cut out any experienced players in the middle)


zarate will be one hell of an assister in the AM position , all what kozak and mandicino is to tap the ball in with their heads.

Carrizo
Lotito - Cribari - Diakite - Radu
Manfredini - Delio Rossi - Matuzalem
Tare - Kozak - Rocchi

I read Carrizo will be given a start in the remaining games and fair enough. Give him a chance to prove himself. As will Diakite, and also Radu but I think in central defense. Brocchi is out for this one and the Reggina match. I would love to see Kozak start and maybe even some of Mendicino, Tuia, Mancini or Cinelli, or at least come off the bench and show Delio what they've got.

Ideally I want a win to finish the season off on a high and in the top half of the standings but I am not expecting a brilliant result or the most inspirational performance at Palermo. And I agree with Testa, if Palermo beat us and eventually pip Ass Riomma to the final 6th Europa League spot in a few weeks time - well let it be....

hahahahahha why not hehe

I'm also for youngsters and giving them a chance now.

Lotito and Palermo presidents are very good friends and can make a influence in the game. I said this out of previous games in Palermo away. I just saying....watch the game closely. But I don't mind, we could give Palermo a chance to take merda position.

You guys just have to remember that the Primavera players are playing their own finals, so we probably won't see that many youngsters,maybe Tuia, Mendicino and Kozak.

Will be fun to watch Lazio again after this wonderful win .... i don`t care too much about the result. I am just happy that i get the chance to watch my beloved club again...

I don't think we will be doing Palermo too many favors. Sure maybe some players will get some rest and we'll see probably Carizzo back in goal etc. but in the spirit of fair play I hope we take this game seriously. Palermo, if they want Europe, must rely on their own strenghts, and although I'd prefer to see them or team other than merda in Europe for that matter, they should have won last week to help themselves, not wait for handouts.

I'm afraid there will be no motivation for this game... so probably we will lose. but who cares we are champions Let's go with the Primavera . Definitely go with Carrizo on goal.. maybe give Radu another shot, Mauri also... FORZA LAZIO!

Should be an enjoyable game to watch! With no pressure on the team, we will be relaxed and allow us to perform better!

Cant wait to see what team Rossi puts out! Will be good to get another look at Carizzo in goal, and i want to see Radu play the remaining 3 games at Centre Back! Give Rocchi some more playing time! Maybe kozak could get a half?

I'll enjoy this game. A solid number of Palermo fans congratulated us on The Offside, more than any other club and for this reason alone, I'd be happy to see them in the Europa League with us next year.

Preferrably, I'd like to beat them, see Rioma lose their last 3 games, have Lazio finish sixth, Palermo seventh and then we're all happy. Not going to happen though...

Game news.

Carrizo will play tomorrow it seems. Rossi has said in a press conference that he hasn't slept in the last three days and considering his players are going through the same emotions, he will wait until tomorrow to decide who is mentally and physically fit to play.

He said he can't call up some of the Primavera players as they're still playing in their championship.

REFEREES: Russo di Nola (Ciancaleoni-Perri, Pinzani IV)

Probable squad that I find on piazzadellaliberta.

thanks to panucci's annoying last minute goal, we have no chance of finishing top 6

Looks a decent line up. We haven't got anything but honour to fight for. I hope JPC has a decent game and Diakite is a rock as he was against Juve earlier this season. Palermo still have everything to play for given Europa places so it's hard to expect a result here but hopefully the Coppa euphoria will keep the players going for the last 3 rounds.

i think its going to be rozehnal instead of modibo.

i like the lineup, i just hope mendicino wont get just 5 mins like kozak.

hope rocchi scores.

glad to see jpc in goal again, he looked very happy after coppa and we cant give up on him yet, id love if we could loan him to some serie a side next year.

I expect Mendicino to start alongside Rocchi...

so many different reports that i dont know anymore.

Tuia and Mendicino..please..

sorry but u wont be seeing tuia tomorrow

Nothing special..boring match with a ghosty Lazio ...i didnt expect much though.

CONCLUSIONS AFTER THIS MATCH:

1. Lazio played good football, not thinking about the result, and enjoying themselves. I like the way the guys played and I have no complaint.

2. Very sorry for Zarate, who once again proved that he's the only world class player Lazio has at the moment, and the referee is sh!t.

3. I was finally happy to see our amateur technician using Perpetuini and Mendicino. Although he did half the job as he also should've put in Tuia and Kozak. Hope to see them in the next match.

4. I am happy that having played a good match with a sh!tty referry Lazio lost to PALERMO, as the Sicilians are now only 2 points behind rioma, and rioma's next match is away to Milan.

5. Nevertheless, 4 defeats in a row is unacceptable, even if you have won the Coppa Italia. Credits to Delio Rossi.

6. Get rid of Carrizo, Siviglia, Cribari, Del Nero, Mauri and Inzaghi, bring in 1 good midfielder and 1 good defender and Lazio will be an ideal team. The question is, will Lotito do that?

P.S. I am really up for winning the Europa League next season, and with Carrizo and Del Nero and such garbage it's impossible. Delio is a problem as well, but maybe, just MAYBE he might do well if he has a really good squad.

4 defeats in a row...17 in a season.
1 goal in last 4 matches.
Lets keep Rossi.

never mind. let Rossi check benchers now, results arent important.
The only one negative point i wanna say - JPC isnt good at all, he is not Lazio level now, second goal - just his mistake.
