Serie A, PALERMO-LAZIO, Sunday, 21-02-10

thanks fabio,you can help us if you want,do not give youre great assist this weekend
also dont give the ball to much for pastore,cavani and micolli,play with kjaer and balzareti

Our defence seemed to fragile last weekend, and I do not belive that we could play with 3 central defenders. Lichty and Kolarov are more offansive orientated and don't mark on the flanks, like this we get too much balls in the box. Second, why we don't put Diakite in the first eleven (like right centre back)? In the last game against Parma we could've easily go 2 down by mistakes of Biava, while Dia put some nice games and deserved the place in first team...
And I schould put Firmani against Liverani.. These two are completly different kind of players and I personally think that Fabio could win this duel! I'm bit scared of Cavani..

Forza Lazio!

Liverani is a cunt.

I really hope we can ride on the Edy wave one more game. We did beat them recently, and despite that being in the coppa and at home, we do stand a chance to get something out of this. They are strong at home, but have all the pressure on them, and maybe we stand a chance to snatch a point or so.

Daje ragazzi!

they have very strong middle with three good skills players(liverani,simplicio,pastore),and i hope that reja will not let them to keep the ball to much.
i hope to see meghni or foggia with ledesma in middle,we need players who can keep the ball

I wonder what Reja will do about Mauri...and about our midfield in general. This match will give me the answer...

i hope diakite will play in this game along with stendardo and radu . they are good trio , biava/dias still adapting. hope foggia/meghni available (both can play in both side wing). any news from matuzalem ? ledesma should play and matu/firmani would be nice alongside ledesma.i hope we can take 3 points

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



--------diakite---------stendardo---------radu



-------------------------ledesma-------------------------------

lich/foggia-------------------------------------kolarov/meghni
----------------matuzalem------hitz--------------------



---------------------------------------zarate
---------------flocharri










I think these are the best squads lazio can play with now , meghni and foggia being subs or even starting for a more attacking option , but i think 3-5-2 is the way things EDY will stick to.

if we play with ledesma-kolarov-hitzlsperger at the same time , we have 3 players who can shoot the 'powerful cannon ball' hahaha zarate doesn't have the cannon shoot ability but he has the long shoot accuracy

Foggia is injured and will be out for at least a month.Menghi is injured as well.

Matuzalem played today in a friendly.He should be ready to play against Palermo.

we played today a friendly and won 9:0. Matu and hitz got some time :) hopefully they can play against palermo

Radu is now a doubt unfortunately with a training ground fall, major problem.
Bigger problem is that apparently Siviglia is likely to play if he fails to recover.
What is wrong with Diakite, or does Reja see him as a Lichti reserve only? Whatever happened to Dias?

Brocchi should be fit and Matuzalem has been training well but is unlikely to start ahead of Mauri (well he has got a 4 year contract so he should play!)...

Apart from that we should see Zarate from the start of course, seems that has been tried in training all week.

This is what I got off Goal.....

Bizzarri, Radu, Dabo, Meghni, Foggia, Brocchi, Baronio and Rocchi are unavailable for the trip to Sicily while Firmani and Muslera are doubtful.

Probable Lineup (3-5-2): Muslera, Biava, Stendardo, Siviglia; Lichtsteiner, Mauri, Ledesma, Hitzlsperger, Kolarov; Floccari, Zarate

*****************************************************************************

That's a whole lot of injuries - especially the absences of Radu, Rocchi and Brocchi.

Why doesn't Diakite get a start? Shift him to the right side and put Biava on the left (although I'm not sure if he is comfortable there). The midfield looks good though - and great to see Ledesma in the middle once again. Hopefully Matuzalem will get an appearance later on. Hope to see Floccari and Zarate combine well up front.

FORZA LAZIO!!!!!

i m very interseting to see with wich formation will start reja,we won at parma,but palermo plays diferent style of footbal.
parma use wings more than palermo,but palermo have very good middle(technicly perfect,much more better than parma).
hope that reja will use some of our technic players(if they are fit),ledesma alone cant do anything,and to many destructive middle players can coast us with
1.easy losing ball
2.selfish try s of kolarov and zarate
3.fast red card
4.if they score,than i cant see any answer
so if i would choise,i will start with matuzalem from beging(even if he isnt ready for 90 min,i will use him in first half),to try to score first becouse
1.palermo will have preasure(and they will make more mistakes)
2.than we can use contra attacks(zarate and sergio will have more space)
3.and if is needs mark pastore with two players

why reja use siviglia instead of diakite ?? what a nightmare

What about DIAS !?......

Isnt he injured since earlier?

dias is likely to start from the 1st minute over siviglia.

time to see what hes all about

Squad called up:

Berni, Muslera; Biava, Diakitè, Andrè Dias, Kolarov, Lichtsteiner, Siviglia, Stendardo; Brocchi, Firmani, Hitzlsperger, Ledesma, Matuzalem, Mauri; Cruz, Floccari, Rocchi, Zarate.

Brocchi may make it then, no Radu though... lets just hope Dias does indeed start ahead of Siviglia. Good to have Matuzalem back in with a shout, hopefully (but doubtfully!) Hitz will start ahead of Mauri and then Matu can come on later on.

i hope that Diakite starts..

Seems makinwa is helping baronio on moving out of Rome.

Cautiously optimistic about tomorrow. Don't think Palermo are all that really, although they have more than enough firepower to teach us a lesson.

I like the 3-5-2, we should be able to overrun their midfield, which is where I feel they need to control the game.

I can't see them scoring many so I hope Floccari and Zarate are on song tomorrow. If we supply them with the right balls, three points is not imposible.

3-5-2 is almost the same tactic as Balla bittch played...you can't control the game if you have just more players in the midfield - it all depends what kind of players u have there....we don't have any similar player like Pastore so you'll see that this our tactic wont make control of the midfield....and Palermo with Liverani and Pastore(as AMC) in their 4-3-1-2 tactic will have much more creativity and control of the midfield.

I feel bad for our new coach, 2nd game and away against Palermo which is always a very hard place to be playing as the away team.

For some reason Palermo are letting us have the ball and yet we are doing nothing with it, our passes are miserable and our midfield are not connection with our strikers.

And for crying out loud, get rid of Kolarov please. That guy is pretty much useless and the only thing he has is his long shots. I counted him throwing the ball away like 5 times in less than 10 minutes when we were attacking. Maybe he needs to realise that he is not Roberto Carlos and that he is not playing for Real Madrid. That guy is just making it worse. I'd wish the coach would make him stop choosing the hardest option always when it comes to passing, right now he's the worst choice to give the ball to when building up an attack.

good luck guys in the second half.......

we are fighting and trying,bad result but good spirit of the team.
please guys try in the middle,or shots from distance,they play well in defence
