    Amauri is just being used completely wrong… He is quite a complete striker, but still he should only play as a deep man with someone creative (and fast) around him, someone that can provide him with useful balls, and go deep himself, like Miccoli was at Palermo.
    Del Piero and especially Giovinco could be that guy in my eyes, they can give him the ball in and around the area where he is deadly.

    But pairing him to either Trezeguet or Iaquinta who both can only ‘run and score’ with all respect, is madness, because then Amauri should play more backwards and that’s not his natural position.

    So all I’m asking Ferrara is to play Giovinco AND Diego. Camo and Marchisio can also give the guy some crosses and then he truly can be a one-man attack.

    The same goes for Trezeguet and Iaquinta actually, they need a creative and mobile player around them to provide them in front of goal.

    It always disturbs me when I see Iaquinta or Trezeguet in midfield asking for the ball. With all due respect, but they suck at that.

    Definitely Al. I’ve absolutely lost every little bit of respect I had left for Mou as a coach this season. I used to love watching IOSS. It was hilarious, but Jose is not the special one by any means anymore. He is a clown, plain and simple. He used to bitch and moan about Wenger when he was at Chelsea and called him “the voyeur” for doing even less than Mourinho has done this season already. Now he has assumed this role, and if he keeps going like this, both inter fans and players will get sick of it real quick.

    As happy as I am to see Marchisio finally getting a rest, I feel that it should have come last weekend rather than this weekend.

    Either way, still a strong and deep squad. The 3 points is a must.

    Forza Juve!

    “It always disturbs me when I see Iaquinta or Trezeguet in midfield asking for the ball. With all due respect, but they suck at that.” Yea my thoughts as well Robee.

    Amauri is going to blow his dry spell right out of the water. If that makes any sense…

    damn inter steals it at the death… Natale will be ruing his misses… Now we got to win tomorrow to stay ahead of them.

    on the flipside, check out Mou’s celebrations… hes making faces at the fans after Sneijder scored.

    That’s just cause he’s a general ass, papai.

    This shows if Inter wins the Scudetto, why they did. They get outplayed at home, and still win at the death. We, on the other hand, play decently enough, and then concede to a team like Bologna at the end.

    we win you dont thats why we win the scudetto, theres no secret about it. If you cant beat a team like bologna at home no matter how well you played then you dont deserve to win the scudetto, end of story.

    besides udinese have one of the best forwards in Europe with Di Natale, hes fucking amazing, he really deserves a team of higher quality than that of udinese. Him and Cassano along with Pazzini, G Rossi, and Del Piero are italy’s best forwards. I wish that that we could have players like Cassano and Di Natale in the champions league. That would be fantastic.

    Bologna last season: played in Serie A.
    Bari last season: played in Serie B.
    Monster stupidity.

    Hahah! “The Troll” just got FUCKED up!

    Does anyone remeber a couple season ago we gave Palermo a 5-0 drubbing? From my memory, Del Piero and Marchionni were on fire that night. One of the cleanest performances i’ve ever seen from the Bianconeri. Hope it will be something of a repat seeing their recent form :P

    That was Del Piero’s return to the first team, I remember it well Sam. That was when I knew Barzagli was utter rubbish, and I believe that was the game that not only got Guidolin sacked but Fontana won the gloves from Agliardi, who was awful.

    But this is in Palermo. The last two times we were there was 2-0 win over Palermo with Trezegol’s first goal last season, and then the 3-2 defeat with Del Piero scoring twice, Amauri bagging a tremendous brace, and Mattia Cassani breaking our hearts.

    yeah Im not seeing how I was “fucked up” but whatever. True jorid you are right (for once) that Bologna did play in Serie A, but honestly they somehow miraculously stayed out of the relegation zone thanks to Papadopulo and a certain Marco Di Vaio. They never have really done anything in Serie A to raise eyebrows since their return from Serie B two years ago. Besides Bari are playing ten thousand times better than bologna are, the fact that they could have beaten us and our evil cousins both at the san siro is an impressive feat just on its own. Plus this year I tipped Bologna along with Siena for the drop. Lets not take each others’ words out of context, no one is saying that you guys didnt deserve to take 3 points against them as you simply outplayed them but all of you know as football fans that a 1-0 lead is still just a 1-0 lead no matter how well you play there is no guaranteeing you will win because the other team might score a goal in the last minute, just ask chelsea.

    if its any consolation I think you guys will be the only team to challenge us for the title as I dont think Milan will be bothering us (I hope you all laughed as hard as I did when you saw what happened to them against zurich) nor do I think Roma will because lets face it they are leaking goals when they play well and they are leaking goals when they play badly. Teams that have surprised me a bit this year are teams like Bari, Parma, Samp, Udinese, and Fiorentina. Bari and Parma have given a shining example to future promotion teams on how to play well as underdogs as I think they have all surpassed our expectations for them already. Samp and Udinese have the three best forwards in all of italy between them with Pazzini, Di Natale, and Cassano. Fiorentina’s success can be nailed down to that out of this world montenegrin wizard called Jovetic. The guy has singlehandedly lead the team to practically all their wins in Serie A.
