I'm sure we all breathed a huge sigh of relief when Yepes' 83rd header went in after what had been one heck of a game,3-0 down at halftime and we won.Whilst its okay to feel euphoric ,that shouldn't gloss over the fact that we were shit for 45 minutes.That 1st half was a classic demonstration of how Champions shouldn't play football and Allegri must take steps to ensure it doesn't happen again:we might not be so lucky next time round!!
Obviously mention must be made of Boateng's amazing 2nd half hattrick.The quality of those goals defy imagination and the Prince seemed a man possesed once he came on.That shut a ton of critics up but we all know they'll soon be back so let him enjoy his moment in the spotlight because he deserves it.
Back to the game at hand though;Parma visit the San Siro tomorrow night in the season's 2nd midweek fixture.Since that loss to Juventus the team has built up some sort of momentum and I believe we can keep that going with a win particularly as we go to Rome this weekend.
PERSONNEL:Gennaro Gattuso's eye condition means we would not be seeing him anytime soon,so we can file him under long term alongside Flamini.Seedorf,Amelia,and Pato are out whilst Nesta is given the night off.Here are the 19 men called up by Allegri
Abbiati,Roma,Abate,Antonini,Bonera,Mexes,Taiwo,Thiago Silva,Zambrotta,Yepes,Ambrosini,Aquilani,Boateng,Emanuelson,Nocerino,Van Bommel,Cassano,El Shaarawy,Ibrahimovic,Robinho.
MY PROJECTED LINE-UP;(4-3-1-2)Abbiat,Abate,Silva,Mexes,Taiwo,Aquilani,Ambrosini,Nocerino,Boateng,Cassano,Ibrahimovic.
It's by no means going to be an easy game but we badly need a win to keep up with the early pacesetters.As I mentioned in an earlier article I ain't too worried about Juventus as most people seem to be and thankfully they are proving me right.They take on Fiorentina tonight and here's to hoping they rack up another draw,that's all I ask.
