Well, Fiorentina are on the back of a nice win. Gomez got his confidence boost with a goal this week as well. Dangerous fixture especially in light of that 4-2 reverse last season or whenever it was.

 

Lets not forget Licht is out.

 

Who plays right back?

Caceres still injured? Romulo still injured?

Padoin?

 

Best team to beat Fio would be:

Buffon
Padoin Bonucci Chiellini Evra
Vidal Marchisio Pogba
Pereyra Tevez
Morata​

Best team to field with the Atletico game in mind would be different. I wish Pogba and Tevez could be rested.

Revert to a 3-5-2 (let Ogbonna play) and rest a midfielder for Atletico Madrid :dielaugh: (no, serious) Guard the goal well and wait for a sucker punch to score the goal.

PS: Now we miss Isla & Peluso.

While Morata seems certain to start, the second striker can be a "surprise" according to Tuttojuve. My guess is that Giovinco might be given a chance, although personally I would prefer Coman.

 

Let all the players recover first and don't let that marginal victory get into their heads. Lots of work to do for team attacking movement. Lots and lots of work .....

 

Mati Fernandez is in great form for Fiorentina, while Mauro Gomez finally scored and Cuadrado is slowly getting back to form..

Matches at Firenze are always tricky and this one comes right before the Atletico match.

But before the 4-0 drubbing of Cagliari, Fiorentina were struggling to score goals.. they scored 12 goals in 12 matches which is way below their usual average..

So far, Fiorentina lost to Roma, Lazio and Napoli; drew with Milan, and beat Inter and Udinese

You dont get points for that anymore

 

yeah expecting a 1-1 draw

 

Bit of a danger game for Juve,Fio have hit some nice form especially that huge win in Sardegna.Very interesting should be a ripper of a match,I tip a 1-1 draw sorry guys.

Calma...calma!

Allegri alluded to resting key players...hopefully we see Coman play at least 20 mins...

 

Coman rumored to start instead of Tevez.

 

Given we have a crucial CL match on Tuesday, and we're playing Fiorentina in Florence, i think it makes a lot of sense to just put a second string side out.

 

Haha fantastic stuff

 

Gonna miss the game due to our yearly Christmas party at work :moan:

Lot of rumours about Coman starting in Tevez place, huge vote of confidence in the youngster from Allegri if that's true. Interesting!

 

And according to Football Italia, we're going to play 3-5-2, indications from the training sessions:

------------------Buffon----------------
-----Ogbonna---Bonucci---Chiellini-----
Pereyra-----------------------------Evra
----------Vidal-----Pirlo-----Pogba-----
-------------Llorente--Coman-----------

This is one game & situation I really agree with the use of the 3-5-2, given the players available, the quality & home ground of the opponents we're facing & an equally crucial CL showdown on Tues. Let's go !!!

PS: Starting to like Allegri even more now

 

Agree with that

 

I really dislike Pereyra at RWB, i know we don't have many options with Licht suspended and Romulo injured, but he's just terrible in that role.

Is Caceres injured?

 

I think Allegri said Caceres won't be available until Samp game next weekend

 

Squad for the match:
1 Buffon
3 Chiellini
5 Ogbonna
6 Pogba
7 Pepe
8 Marchisio
9 Morata
10 Tevez
11 Coman
12 Giovinco
14 Llorente
19 Bonucci
20 Padoin
21 Pirlo
23 Vidal
30 Storari
33 Evra
34 Rubinho
37 Pereyra
38 Mattiello

I feel like we are going to miss Tevez a lot if he doesnt start this match, I understand the reasons resting him etc for next week, im just telling how it is. This is still a big game, especially given its played in Firenze so a difficult place to travel. We already have issues with Licht out as well. Llorente needs to step up here if he starts.

I suspect that Allegri will still have to use Tevez at some point in this match.

 

Pereyra is fine as CM, he just sucks everywhere else.

I think Allegri is making a conscious decision to go for the draw against Fiorentina. I can't blame him when we have such an important game next week.

 

 

Giovinco couldn't get a bigger ****-you from the coach.

 

Hard to disagree, but at the same time, Allegri has to show Coman that he didn't leave PSG to sit on the bench with us. He has to get some opportunities to play, and that's more important at this juncture than pacifying Giovinco who's probably leaving.

 

Not a bad lineup. Steiner, Padoin, March, Carlitos and Morata will all be fresh for Atletico.

I wouldn't be surprised with a draw either.

 

Second ball Pirlo has lost which has led to a dangerous Fiorentina counter attack. He needs to be more careful or it's going to cost us.

 

I feel like Marchisio should come on 2nd half.

Certain players need to wake up like Vidal. Evra seems meh again out there. But dont bring Padoin in, i would honestly sub him for Marchisio.

Pirlo has made some mistake too though.

 

Evra is really struggling today
