Hopefully we get our Scudetto challenge back on track and the Real and Juve games won't be a huge mental block for us. Although this team under Allegri doesn't seem to have a spine (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

All I want is a Flamini--Pirlo--Boateng mid and I'm happy.

As for the Antonini Abate debate, I don't really believe Abate has earned anything. Cristiano and Di Maria practically ran through him and Rino on more then one occasion. Antonini had a bad game yes, but it didn't deserve the exhile.

I see Allegri is thinking of starting Pippo, and imo it would be a big mistake. Pippo is not a player you want in there from minute 1, I say put him in to do some damage in the first half but not from the start. Allegri seems to have the habit of ignoring what a player does for a complete month and just benching him for making a misstep. Yet some players who are mediocre week in week out still play regularly.

You really fail to see anything improvement in Abate? Di Maria ran through Zambro, and it was Zambro's positional flub that saw pedro leon sneak in behind him. Im not demanding that Abate be our starter, but failing to see that he's getting better is a bit unfair.

C-Ron was on Abate's side, and C-Ron was a frustrated figure all game.

Meanwhile, whatever di Maria and C-Ron did to Abate, Momo Sissoko did to Antonini. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/puke.gif)

Di Maria and C.Ron switched sides during the game on more then one occasion. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

C.Ron acted like a major @ss hole from minute one, it had nothing to do with Abate frustrating him. Yes Zambro made mistakes, not saying he's faultless but he's still the best option at this point in time and imo far better at RB

Abate struggled whenever C.Ron ran at him. It doesn't really matter to me who plays against Bari, it doesn't really matter, bot are adequate enough for such a game, but Abate in the big games imo is asking for trouble. Antonini was terrible against Juve no denying that, but aside from that he's been mostly good this season
