Performances wise,he's been one of our best players all season...
So I care....

Pirlo is suspended for Lazio though, or am I mistaken?
In any case, the thought of Pirlo and Marchisio playing 90 minutes worry me

If Prandelli is playing a four man defense than at least one of Bonucci, Barzagli, Chiellini will be spared

I would want to see a back line of:

Criscito-Astori-Barzagli-Santon

Just to try something different, given that it is a friendly

My own 11:


I'm not trying to spare Juventus players, I just think this would be interesting to see

Yes, I think Pirlo is missing the game and I also think Mauri is missing the game since he got a red card (two yellow cards) against Roma

People shouldn't complain about Juve players getting called up to and playing for their national teams. Every good European club has to deal with this issue. Juventus isn't alone.

Why did Pirlo play 90 minutes against Pescara, when the match was done and dusted after the first half itself? He isn't the type of player who is going to play 90 minutes at the highest level every 3 days. And are you people seriously worried that he'll be missing against Lazio? I feel that regardless of the suspension,he should be rested, at least not play more than 60 minutes before every midweek champions league fixture.

The thing is he is forcing it, he wants to play that much

This pisses me off! Why do they have to call up everyone for a friendly! Why not experiment or give other players a chance to represent!

Because the team needs to get used to playing together as a group so that the Azzurri can guarantee qualification. Plus, there are a few players that were called for this game that haven't appeared much for the national team with players like Destro and Verratti.

Like I said, people need to calm down. This is what happens when you are a top European club.
