Tough one for us. All I'm hoping for is that we see an improvement in performance at least

[William405]

Oh, already the next game.

Well, I hope we can improve on our performance. Lazio aren't anything special, so...I think we can win this game if we do well.

[Jack Sparrow]

Lazio have been playing very well actually. I'll be happy with a draw. I know there'll be a lot of eye gouging about our play, but till winter transfers I just want us to scrape enough points so we're still in the hunt for 6th place.

Probable line-up according to Sky.


https://scontent-vie1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0...amp;oe=5882A34B

Probable line-up according to GdS:
Donnarumma; Calabria, Paletta, Romagnoli, De Sciglio; Kucka, Locatelli, Bonaventura; Suso, Bacca, Niang;

[William405]

Would be nice to see Locatelli given a chance.

I like the consistency in the lineup. Maybe, this time we can do better with a midfield which has more grinta.

[X-Offender]

Seriously, Locatelli? He looks just like another Montolivo to me. But I guess he deserves a chance.

[han2503]

I think this isn't the right game to push him in. I'd rather play Sosa in the regista position and play Kucka and Poli on either side of him tbh

[Fillipo Simone]

Seriously, Locatelli? He looks just like another Montolivo to me. But I guess he deserves a chance.

Hmh? Like a finished player? How is that possible? Locatelli is many things but not old and slow.

Old obviously not, but slow and uninspired.

[Fillipo Simone]

Slow? How can a teenager be slow? We must have patient and assess him a little more detailed.

[maldini03]

I don't think Locatelli is slow, I just think he doesn't know how to impose himself on a game at this point in his young career. If we give him some game time and ease him in I think he will begin to grow in confidence. That being said, I don't think this is the right time to throw him into the fire. Our midfield is weak and we lack true leaders, throwing a kid into that type of deep end will just ruin him.

This Locatelli talk is reminding me of Cristante who I remember got a start under Seedorf I believe and had a nice goal against Atalanta, then he never saw the field again and was sold at the end of the year. Young players need space and a long leash, which is why its difficult to incorporate them into a top team. Seeing as we are not a top team and our midfield is terrible I can't see Locatelli doing much worse than our current lot.

[X-Offender]

Slow? How can a teenager be slow? We must have patient and assess him a little more detailed.

Of course a teenager can be slow. It has nothing to do with age. I've always been slow as f*ck in playing football.

But yeah, like I said, it's only fair to give him a chance. But probably not in a game like this.

[d'Arc.LP]

Official lineup vs Lazio:

Donnarumma; Calabria, Paletta, Romagnoli, De Sciglio; Kucka, Montolivo, Bonaventura; Suso, Bacca, Niang.

[d'Arc.LP]

Sosa or Locatelli instead of Montolivo and that formation would be quite good.

[X-Offender]

Does Montella have a crush on Mortovivo? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
