SCG-Italija

[Drulic]

The squad:

Golmani: Dragoslav Jevrić, Dragan Žilić

Odbrana i spoljni igrači: Milivoje Ćirković, Slobodan Marković, Goran Gavrančić, Nenad Đorđević, Mladen Krstajić, Dejan Stefanović, Ivica Dragutinović

Vezni igrači: Dragan Mladenović, Goran Bunjevčević, Predrag Đorđević, Igor Duljaj, Saša Ilić, Branko Bošković, Nenad Brnović

Napadači: Savo Milošević, Darko Kovačević, Mateja Kežman, Danijel Ljuboja

No Vidic! What an idiot this Petkovic, I'm sure this is his way of trying to show the world he knows better. I can already guess the defensive line-up, same as against Wales, pathetic when N. Djordjevic and Vidic would form a far better central defensive duo with Krstajic on the left.

Midfield is everything but creative, P Djordjevic and Boskovic excluded of course, a lot of workhorses there, players like Duljaj and Brnovic who've IMO shown way too little to get called up.

Our attack with Ljuboja this time, I doubt he'll get any playing time. Darko, Keza and Savo all 3 scored for their clubs this weekend so the form seems there.

In short, IMO after this match it's going to be bye bye Euro 2004!

your thoughts?

The first thing that comes to mind is that they have better players on probably every position... but it is not an individual sport so...
We can't afford to relax at all, because then it's really bye bye Portugal 2004. The good thing is that we beat Wales, and there is something positive in the air (I hope) and we really don't have anything to loose since we already thought we were out after 1 point against Azer in two games and the 0-3 against the superb Finland.
Ilijev replaces Kovacevic, well I don't think Ivica will play a single minute. We needed the strong Kovacevic. Jestrovic is injured, but he would be a good replacement.
I think Milosevic - Kezman is a bad combination, as I don't see then creating anything together. Maybe a 4-5-1 would be good. I don't know, we'll see how Italy does aginst Wales.
