Even though Genoa plays good this season, we're clear favorites on paper. That said, with the right lineup and mindset, we could win this one.

What I want to see most next Sunday is a proper midfield selection, meaning; no Muntari, let Van Ginkel and Bona start again

Essien will be unavailable. If de Jong isn't fit enough, there's no chance of not seeing Muntari.

In that case at least he'll be in the DM position, meaning he won't have freedom to roam about as he usually does and make a general nuisance of himself

Only issue there is his God awful passing. He'll be the last man in front of the defence so if he makes one of his usual passes straight to an opposition player we'll be in deep sh!t

Diego Lopez; Bonera, Rami, Mexes, Armero; Van Ginkel; De Jong, Bonaventura; Honda, Menez, El Shaarawy

Finally, Danny might be able to witness his favorite midfield.

It's the same formation as last game, genius. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Only De Jong instead of Essien, which is very welcome.

Nah, I meant to say players. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sleep.gif) Personnel. Could care less about the formation, you either develop your own unique philosophy and stick to it through thick or thin. Or you keep making changes, depending on the opponents and maybe even your own form. Besides, Inzaghi is still learning.

I'm more concerned that we just always get new faces every week. Sure is the perfect recipe to wreck momentum and maybe even team spirit. Though in this case, there is some stability, Mexès, for example. Lopez. Menez, Shaarawy. But it's going to change again once Montolivo is back, Abate returns, or injury strikes.

And that will always affect our playing form and momentum. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Just hope we settle on a first XI and stick to it.

And I meant personnel, too. It's the line-up that played against Udinese, only with De Jong instead of Essien, who's suspended nonetheless.

Finally, the midfield is perfect. Only took 4 months. Pity about the defence and attack mind you, but it's a start. And no Torres is a bonus.

Is Pippo FINALLY starting to lose his stubborness regarding team selection? All of Mexes, Armero, Van Ginkel and Bona starting suggests he may at long last be willing to look at new ideas rather than playing everyone out of formation and picking out of form favourites. Still unhappy at Zapata's absence and Bonera at RB but it's progress. Wouldn't Rami, Mexes, Zapata and Armero have been better?

Is Muntari available btw?

The only match this season I've not fully watched, but the midfield seemed a lot better than it has for months.

I agree on that, we all do. But it would be best to find our best XI first. Unfortunately that's where we all appear to disagree.

Nope, Muntari isn't available. That's why van Ginkel is getting a start, I think. Some suggest Montolivo might even start. Also, Armero's playing because both Abate and MDS are injured. So, it's not Pippo getting his act together, rather the injuries are forcing him to play these men.
