Serie A: SIENA-LAZIO, Sunday 05-04-09

who is unavailable for this match ? kolarov ? matuzalem ?

Please..talk about players, tactics, wheater, wine, Siena city, food...
Don't talk about the match as a RESULT!

Thanks...

How is the wine and food in Siena city anyways ?

The wine should be good, Tuscany is well known for the wine. As for the food, well all italian food is great, why should Siena be an exception. Maybe they have sth special, like a good prosciutto

And i guess it`s too early to find out how the wheater is going to be.

FORZA LAZIO!!!

Daje Ragazzi!

Siena is more famous for their basket team and that horse race, no?

Interesting !! Any Siena basket team big results (sorry .. not into this) ?

All I ask is for the players to represent the team and fans with dignity.

FORZA LAZIO!

Is it a big city? Population number? What's the social welfare level in Siena? Any famous people born in Siena?

Just supporting the topic, you know. :)

P.S. Off-topic....really afraid of Siena away, they've always been a problem at home, but I do count on positive atmosphere after international matches and also Lotito speech effect. Would love to see Zarate-Rocchi as starters, and of course Matuzalem.

We used to beat black and white stripe jersey back in Copa so as Siena has the same jersey like Juve, the result is obvious. I'm not talking the result.

Siena is very strong at home, so I don`t expect much.

We always play difficult there , but let's see after Lotito threats

Yeh the Palio, that's not until July and August so they might focus on the football unless it's already on their minds!

Hard to say where Siena stands this season, but as always a tough opponent away. Also, it is the game before this seasons most important game and it is hard to say if the players will be focused enough (they should be, I know).

Any suspensions? Any players that is one card away from suspension? What players are on international duty??

No suspensions, but Rozehnal, Pandev, Ledesma and Brocchi are one yellow away from suspension. The players called up by respective national team are Rozehnal, Carrizo, Lichtsteiner, Pandev, Muslera, Foggia, Mendicino (U21) and Kozak (U21).

Thanks!

The Q is: how do we deal with the fact that such influential players are one game away from suspension...?

Yeah, it's hard to see Ledesma and Brocchi playing without getting a booking in this match.

I could hardly call Brocchi influential. As for Ledesma he should be able to control himself. Pandev on the other hand has a nasty tendency to argue with the referees.

My question is, since Kolarov got a straight red against Chievo, does it mean he's unavailable for this match also?

-----------------

Excuse me, Brocchi is influential, influential in letting Catania player run by him and freely assist Paolucci.

I think that de players has the Derby in their head.. that's all.
Siena is strong home but only if we alow them hehe, we are much better..

FORZA LAZIO!!!

A straight red is normally a one match suspension except if it's dissent or a really dangerous tackle it can be extended. I'll try and find out.

You forget Kolarov :)

Yet another tough away game. Siena are no pushovers and are having a fairly good season. They have had some good wins this season and some players like Maccarone and Kharja can cause any team problems. They are pretty solid and it will probably be a very tight game. I hope the derby is not in our players heads, nor the fatigue following international duty. Players like Ledesma and Pandev - if they play, need to be very cautious throughout to make sure they don't pick up a silly yellow card which will rule them out of the derby.


Nothing more to say than.... FORZA LAZIO!!!!

We have entered this 3-match-period before derby and almost all of us expected 3 in 3, but we lost two of such. If we could win, we would be better position than merda. Unfortunately, I dont expect us to get 6th spot. Looking the rest of fixture, really hard matches are waiting us. Hard to say we can get what we want from most of them. I hope I am wrong but inconsistency of this team pushes me thinking like that.

Come on boys, it is time to win anymore

Always and Forever FORZA LAZIO
