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)

I wouldn't mind starting Pippo in this one, the guy's earned it. What worries me is our midfield, or rather, Allegri's incapability of fielding a decent 3-man back-line. We'll continue of seeing "good" ol' Gattuso playing every three games as an AM, Pirlo being relegated to a defender, Flamini being wasted on the bench and Seedorf doing his "thing". Without a proper midfield, we could sign Messi or Ronaldo, but it wouldn't change a single goddamn thing.

Exactly my point!!

But Pippo from the start to me a is a no no. The guy is brilliant coming off the bench and I really want to see Pato getting another chance playing as a striker. As I said yesterday, all our problems are tactical, not personnel related. Rino aside that is)

Given the right combination in midfield, and attack we're more then good to go. What worries me is Allegri. He's just so stubborn and seems resolute on playing the rigid 4-3-3 even though all the players are struggling in it
