When we have a full squad, I'd like to look like this:

----------------------------Abbiati
Abate-----------Zapata---------Acerbi----------Antonini

----------------------------Montolivo
--------------------Nocerino---------Prince

----------Robinho---------------------------------Urby
-----------------------------Pazzini

Didac over Antonini, not that I trust Didac a lot but it can't get any worse than Antonini and Binho plays his best at LW. Pato on the right and we're set to go. It is just a case of the defense holding up and the injuries of the first team players.

Even against Sampdoria that defense still worries me. At least De Sciglio's playing.
