QUOTE (Portikins @ Nov 2 2008, 05:22 PM)  If we win, we go top. I think that's enough to motivate our players. Forza ragazzi!!! Keeping our CL spot wasn't enough to motivate them last season so I wouldn't be surprised to see us throwing this one away like we usually do. I don't know why but I'm feeling pessimistic about this one, probably because this Carlo's Milan has a history of throwing things away. Personally I think that all comes from the coaches' mentality, something that Carlo has been questioned about since his early days at Juve This post has been edited by han2503: Nov 2 2008, 05:41 PM |

han only does this as a defense mechanism. Take it easy on him. When he is pessimistic, Milan losing won't affect him as much and if they win, well, then he will be pleasantly surprised!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I know han. That' his strategy.
Now someone might call that cowardly, but who am I to judge... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

In my opinion Napoli's weak link is their defense! I know guys like Santacroce and Cannavaro are there, but they play with 3 defenders and judging on what I've seen from them so far, they are rather shaky when you attack and put them under pressure. (Lazio nearly scored on a few occasions when they went all attack and Napoli were lucky to finish the game with a clean sheet).
I still think the Christmas tree will be a mistake but let's wait and see... |

I think you're right about the defense being the weakest part of Napoli's game. It's a bit of a risk playing 3 at the back -- that may go some way to explaining the number of cards both Paolo Cannavaro and Santacroce pick up (last year, they both had LOTS). I do rate Santacroce and Paolo Cannavaro...well, in my opinion he is to big brother Fabio what Simone Inzaghi is to big brother Pippo.

The christmas tree is ALWAYS a mistake, it's pointless talking about it since we all know that it's whatr Carlo will choose no matter what. Hopefully R10 and Kaka go out wider and it becomes sort of a 4-3-3 type of set up so we can hit Napoli were it hurts, they play with 3 at the back so their flanks will become exposed if they try to attack. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Why cut it out when it worked like a charm that season in CL? It could work on the league this year. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) That's why we play the pessimist card. "Oh Inter have such a strong team, Inter have Mourinho, Inter invest in the team, bla bla bla" It's all a ploy |
