Yes he was true, but then again I suppose he is definitely not going to be a CM in this match :D

Ahhh if there was ever a time for Totti to score 2 goals along with an assist in a big win for Roma....its now. C'e solo un capitano!!!!

FORZA ROMA E TOTTI SEMPRE!
 
Yes Perrotta could play DM with Wilhelmsson, Taddei and Mancini behind Totti. I wouldnt mind it so much really... we will see what mister does.
 
What's the most probable side that you will now play? If we go 451, hopefully at least it's a Giggsy-Carrick-Scholesy centre, and not John O'Shea. It'd be like 10 man, having him there against your centre.

Ideal United team possible in a 442:

-------Rooney--Solskjaer
Giggsy--Carrick--Scholesy--Ronaldo
Evra--Heinze---Ferdinand--Brown
------------VDS

In a 451:

----------Solskjaer
Rooney---------------Ronaldo
------Giggsy----Scholesy
----------Carrick
Evra--Heinze--Ferdinand--Brown
-----------VDS


Though Evra might not be fit for it, while Ole ain't fully match ready, so there's a question mark over both. Incase Evra misses the match, and Fergie plays his usual favourite O'Shit as a DMC, Cathcart as a starter???:eek: (considering Vidic and Neville are out, while Silvestre is out too - but that's a benefit:D)
 
Roma is either

-------------Doni
Cassetti Ferrari Mexes Panucci
------De Rossi-Chivu
Taddei-----Perrotta---Mancini
-------------Totti

or

-------------Doni
Cassetti Mexes Chivu Panucci
-------De Rossi-Perrotta
Wilhelmsson-Taddei--Mancini
-------------Totti
 
Hmm O`Shea is better than Carrick atleast.

What's the most probable side that you will now play?>>>

I´d say it´s this (if no more injuries happen)

-------------Doni
Cassetti-Chivu-Mexes-Panucci
--------Perrotta-Derossi
Wilhelmsson-Taddei-Mancini
-------------Totti

We might change the back 4 and play

Panucci-Ferrari-Mexes-Chivu, but I don´t think this is to likely since Spalletti will wont to play Chivu in the middle. But if we play this backline we could also play Cassetti in the tridente instead of Wil.

What the feck??:eek:
 
It seems only Man U fans actually rate Carrick :D
 
I just think he´s quite bad. He´s defenitly not worth 25 million euros. If you look at the "low play makers" out there, he might be one of the worst. Pizarro, Derossi, Pirlo, Xavi, Makelele, Cambiasso, Fabregas, Xavi Alonso, he´s not better than anyone of these players. In my opinion.
 
Believe me when you have no midfield (as was the case last year when we had no Keano and no Scholesy), you really appreciate what Carrick does:D. He ain't no Pirlo, but he is very good at what he does - certainly underrated, considering he has brought out the best in Scholesy.

Of course the ÂŁ14M fee was high, but that's what you get for being United and getting a player from another English club (while the other ÂŁ4M is based on titles, and to be fair, if we win them with him, they'll be worth it).


Just one thing, tell me you accidently put Makeleles name under low playmakers:D
 
Anyway, I want us to go through more than anything of course, but I am just happy for us to be in such a great occasion on such a big European stage. Lets have fun guys, it doesnt have to often for Roma!
 
I'd love it to be two pure attacking games, like the gems that United had in 99 for example, but with the 451, hopefully it doesn't turn out a borefest. Two of the best attacking teams left in the competition, going at each other nonstop would be brilliant:)
