Yes, it would appear Pippo is doing a Seedorf and wasting MDS again on the right. Now time to complain at yet another manager wrecking the potential of Mattia.
As for the rest of the team, De Jong and Balo are still not really available for this, but let's face it - potentially SES and Mastour aside that is close to our strongest current team.
This team is a wreck and the only consolation is that Dzeko, Kolarov, Silva, Fernandinho, Toure and a host of other City stars probably aren't available re: world cup duty recovery.
They'll still smash the living f*ck out of us though.
That midfield is far from our strongest, same goes with the attack and defence imo. Pazzini, Sapo and Niang will be very far from the starting 11 imo, same goes with Cristante and Muntari. Constant and DS on the right I'm hoping is just something Pippo is using for now
And yeah, this thing with DS on the right is so annoying, especially since it means Constant starting on the left as we have zero other options there.
I do notice that Pippo is sort of taking it slow with the players who just returned from their NTs so maybe that's why we're still seeing such a mish mash of players in the starting 11s
I'm hoping Pippo will know what his first choice starting 11 is before the season starts, and it's not like with both Allegri and Seedorf where each week it's a completely new rotation of players starting so we never have any cohesiveness in the side
