Let's keep the good times rolling (IMG:style_emoticons/default/devil.gif)

I'm glad Pirlo's not playing. A lot of fans tend to see certain players for who they were instead of who they are now (I fall into this category as I'd insert Ronaldo into ANY starting lineup (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dramaqueensmil.gif) )

BUT the thing is Pirlo isn't THE Pirlo we once knew. His passing would be more fitting if our wingbacks and strikers made the type of runs that would have made his long passes relevant (See our first game this season). But as we are now iHomo likes to take the ball and work his way in, with a few short exchanges with Seedorf of Robinho.....and as much as I don't like Zlatan.....IT HAS WORKED! Zlatan struggled at Bartha mainly because he isn't the typical CF with the typical cf instincts and needs time with the ball at his feet.

The only player that's going to run into the spaces that would make Pirlo's passing useful is Robinho. Otherwise it's going to be a bunch of sideways and silly dangerous backpasses.

When Pato comes back, I'd have liked to see a 4-3-3 with Pato-iHomo-Robinho, supported by -Flams/Ambro-Pirlo-Boat-. I think that lineup could play some very exciting and beautiful football rather than grinding out the wins with blue collar performances as we've done. Pirlo will be able to use all of his skills and sexy passing galore.
