Europa League, Elfsborg-Lazio, Thursday, 27-8-09

Not a classic Lazio performance but a result I will gladly take. We lost but the game was really only to ensure qualification. Ballardini rested several players for the weekend trip away to Chievo so I'm not really worried, although I was hoping for a better result, like a draw. Doesn't matter. We are in Europe again and I'm really excited. Can't wait for the draw.

FORZA LAZIO!!!!!

when in this 4 games our goalkeeper is with best performance we should have a seriously inspect to our creative game with special focus in the midfield!

Only saw bits n pieces of first half, ELF hit one post and Rocchi had to score that chance, it was then over at HT ... but this defeat is ok for me, tuff team, very tuff pitch, and now we know that we are not unbeatable... next Chievo !

Dont take me wrong , but iam glad we lost:

1st we have lost against a smaller team in a non-crucial match, it was official tho, so our first official loss for the season.

2nd and most importunately is that the players and "US the FANS" know and have seen that lazio can loose, ive been hearing a lot about that we havnt lost under belardini yet, like he is some super coach from outer space, give him a slack guys, we will loose definitely many times this season, i just hope that we will be able to put a good performance under the bigger teams(the only thing we have been missing with Rossi).

Only 3 things to learn from this match:

1. We have great team spirit, as illustrated brutally by Kolarov and Matuzalem.

2. There are no "small" matches

3. NO WAY IN HELL CAN RADU PLAY CB. WE'RE IN DESPERATE NEED OF A CB.


Big props for all the swedish/danish/italian/whichever laziali attending the game, all I could hear all through the game was LAZIO LAZIO LAZIO!!!

Yeah we really need a CB. Radu isnt suit for that position (although that was his original position), Cribari is...Cribari and Siviglia may be out for some time. Diakite remains our only hope.

We lost, wasnt a good performance,i agree..but the motivation that Elfsborg had today isnt something that you see very often. And above that we played whitout some important players .. Kolarov was on the bench, Siviglia got injured (and those morons barking at him all the time), Foggia, Zarate, Mauri were on the bench as well. On top of all..let`s be honest..you can`t play with the same determination when you have 3-0. I`m sure if this one had started from 0-0 we would have seen another Lazio.

Not the best of matches as you said earlier from our side but maybe good takes us back to the ground. And in one way I feelt rather proud over Kolarov when he did what he did, we had a player down and they refused to send the ball out so he could get treatment, so lets se if they think the play should go on if it's one of their players down! Kinda brings the team together in one way I think and so does the "brawl" afterwards. But ofcourse not good in any perspective that he got sent off, what I cant understand is how Svensson could get away with only a yellow card when he's the one starting the whole thing after the tackle beeing agresive after the reefs whistle.

Well atlest I got a new favorite in the team except Zárate and that's Muslera! I myself have played GK so admire him a little extra and some of the saves he made last night was just totaly unbeliveable and crazy, told him so outside of the arena to, but hahaha don't even know if he got what I said he seems to go around laughing all the time anyway
