villianusa Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 So Heskey (Red Card) and Lichaj and Albrighton (2nd yellow) are suspended for game? Not sure if the yellows carry over to final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted August 1, 2009 Author Moderator Share Posted August 1, 2009 Albrighton only has 1 yellow by my books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaretMahoney Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Anyone care to dig up who is available on both sides for this match? I can't seem to find any kinda match report about the Juventus-Real nor the Villa, concerning the cards picked up and injuries. Anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted August 1, 2009 VT Supporter Share Posted August 1, 2009 Juve fans seem to think Camoranesi might be out suspended. Thats a bonus if it's the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villianusa Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Albrighton only has 1 yellow by my books. My bad read on another site reporting the game he had two. I checked back and it seems you are correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salsa Party Animal Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 I hope MON will get in touch with Olof to get low down of Juventus. I wonder what Olof will be doing tomorrow Shame there is no role for Agent Mellberg to play in the match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maresca Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 I'd love to hear what fans from Real Madrid and Juve think about this tie How do chaps, very much looking forward to the tie as we have been gash against English opposition for the last few seasons. Granted, it's only a friendly, but our boys didn't see it like that last night. I think Diego may be out for the game as he has a muscular problem so it will probably be Seba Giovinco behind Delboy and Amauri. Midfield will be 3-man with Zanetti or Melo in front of the back 4 with Tiago and possibly Marchisio on either side. Defence will be the same - Canna, Chiellini with Brazzo and Grygera/zebina on the right. there were no injuries for us last night but i think Ciro may rest a few players. He's still experimenting with the line up and finding out who works best. At a push, i think we'll play: ------------------------------ Buffon ------------------------------- --- Zebina --------- Canna ------------ Chiellini -------- Molinaro/Brazzo -------- Marchisio/Camo ------ Melo --------- Tiago -------------- ------------------------------ Giovinco -------------------------------- ------------ Amauri --------------------------- ADP ---------------------- Madrid were no real contest, we beat them every year - looking forward to playing against Birminghams best.

maresca Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Could you explain why Juventus let Mellberg leave for Greece ? In a word, he was pants ! The first game of last season, we played Fiorentina - we dominated the whole game and in the 90th minute, Mellberg loses Gilardino and they equalize. That was the story for much of his season - he was caught out of position too often. Granted, the blame doesn't rest on his shoulders alone, but he was always average at best. We had tonnes of defensive injuries last season, and when we really needed to rely on him, he went AWOL. Juventus missed a leader at the back - this season we have Cannavaro.

Salsa Party Animal Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 I see Thanks for that. I would thought Juventus plan to use Mellberg and Cannavaro partnership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maresca Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 I see Thanks for that. I would thought Juventus plan to use Mellberg and Cannavaro partnership. Don't think we could get away with that ! A combined age of 66 for our two central defenders would have *risky* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maresca Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 I meant to ask, how are Villa going to line up against us ? Will it be anything like the team at the foot of this page: http://www.goal.com/en/teams/england/95/aston-villa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
