The big game between Napoli and Inter on Monday is getting closer and Roberto Mancini still seems to nurture a few doubts on who to play. The 4-3-3 seems to be the formation he will be going with, but the players have not been decided yet. According to Sky Mancini has two doubts, the first one being whether to play Brozovic or Melo. As of now Melo is the favorite, but should Jesus play in defense then Mancini could decide that he can play the more offensive Brozovic in midfield. In attack the doubt seems to center on Jovetic or Ljajic.
INTER (4-3-3): Handanovic; Nagatomo, Miranda, Murillo, Juan Jesus; Guarin, Medel, Melo; Perisic, Icardi, Jovetic.
i don’t believe “probable line up” by the media.. no body can read mancini mind.. we always got a different line up everytime we played.. but i think we learn to believe his decision, because he know better what happen in the training ground..^^
yup, probable formation is pointless. Nobody could read Mancini mind.
Ljajic over Jovetic if it comes down to 1 or the other for this game. And Melo over Brozo. And Telles over Juan.
I’ve literally only addressed the positions questioned by the article. For while I’d like to comment on Nagatomo’s suitability for the game I think we all trust Mancio by now
Guarin??? Hamsik and Allan will eat him alive
Guarin is tough—he could cope. And sometimes he quits birdshooting and makes the difference
I really don’t understand the logic of using Telles instead of Juan in this game with how deadly Callejon is on the right, even though they play a bit more on insigne at the moment.
Ljajic/whoever plays LW would support the LB. And Telles is quicker/more attacking than Juan. After all we do want to win. Fielding Medel, Melo, Miranda, Murillo and Handanoovic should be enough dedicated defence for any side was my reasoning
I agree that the LW should track back and that Telles is more attacking than Juan. However i do not agree on the overall gameplan looking at how we have played in previous matches. Napoli is a well oiled machine in the attack and i don’t think that little pace Telles have over Juan makes up for the physical aspect that Juan bring and better positioning/marking in defence.
Our gameplan, should in my opinion, be going in prioritising defence. If we try to be too offensive we might end up with another fiorentina embarrassment. We need to build on what works, especially when playing against the good team.
what no ljajic ?!!??!
fuuuuck
I guess that Mancini is looking for physcal presence in the filed, that’s why guaro in brozo out, and Adem out Stevan in, just my toughts
