I'd go with that.. though I wouldn't mind if Sheva starts in place of one of them.
I think it will be a toss up between Sheva and R10, depends on what Carlo wants to do, but regardless if Ronnie is the one to start he must play as a striker and stay in support of Pato. We can't have both him and Kaka playing deep in midfield while having Pato isolated upfront.
Against Inter it was understandable since we needed to win the midfield battle and it worked very well but against a Cagliari side that look ametourish at best and will try to put eery man they have behind the ball we can't afford to hold men back in midfield. R10 should start a bit wider on the left, Kaka should go through the middle and Pato roaming in and around the box.
But I think Carlo might opt to start with Sheva since Ronaldinho has had 2 consecutive 90 minute outings in the span of a couple of days. And he might want to stick with Sheva to see if he can get some sort of momentum back.
Who knows, as long as we win I don't really care. And thankfully it will be Bonera and Maldini in the center much better pairing then Kala and Maldini. Remember 06/07 season? When Nesta was also injured at the beginning of the season? The Bonera - Maldini pairing worked like a charm
