Reasonable choice, I wouldn't mind if someone give nesta and one of wbs a rest in this match.

nesta had a 10 day break already, why's everyone calling for a rest for him? He's fresh enough for the next few games.

Gila will probably start ahead of INzaghi, who will then play against Shakstar. If we see Inzaghi to start, then Gila will probably feature in CL, and that will be a big game for him.

Regardless, either Gila or Inzaghi HAS to score in this and next game. No more excuse. If there is a time to score 'important' goals, it's now.

i wouldn't risk Nesta...he had an injury from dat friendly so better be safe than be sorry later...

-------------Dida--------------
Oddo----Nesta--Bonera/Maldini--Janku
--Gattuso---Pirlo--Ambro-----
----------Seedorf--------
--------Gourcuff------Gila------

We all know that Ancelotti dropped the 4-5-1 Formation in the league atleast....

Kaka might miss this match but i really hope he plays along-side Gila instead of gourcuff

The expected line-up according to La Gazzetta dello Sport (4-3-1-2):

Dida

Oddo - Nesta - Kaladze - Jankulovski

Gattuso - Pirlo - Ambrosini

Seedorf

Inzaghi - Gilardino

Pippo and Gila together up front, no that's no good. if you remember everytime when this guys play together they don't create a chances and doesn't have any shoot on the goal, it's better to play or Gila or Pippo.

If anyone has the link to the story from Channel 4 about Kaka not playing versus Empoli I would be delighted if you posted the link to the story here in this thread.

I tried to find it myself but with no luck.

I found one in goal.com Rico

That's very kind of you.

I believe the article is correct.

let's give it a shot and see what happens..

crazy crazy crazy game I just saw for Roma - Napoli.. i believe Napoli is a team, just like Fiorentina, that will return to the glory days in 4 or 5 years. Their current team is such a good team, but I doubted their coach's credentials. Looks like I was wrong about him, he seems to be doing real well with them. What they need is someone like Riquelme to play along with Gargano and Blasi in the mid and they would be al set.

Roma had alot of possession and controlled the game, but Napoli played so well with the little possesion they had. They played sooo well on the counter, and all their goals were really good goals. Roma were lucky with De Rossi's, Pizzaro's and Perotta's goals. Pizarro's freekick was going to be saved but it got deflected off a Napolean defender, and the other two goals were Iezzo's (Napoli GK) fault, one he didnt save properly and Perotta rebounded, and the other weak De Rossi shot came between his hands.

Good games by: Zalayeta (1 goal, 2 assist), Lavezzi, Gargano, Cannavaro, Totti, Cassetti (really impressed me today), Pizarro.

Definitely no Kaka tomorrow:
