You're at advantage as you're playing at home and 0-0 is a result that suits you.

That's more than the Zebrette can say. :( At least their fans show up, U.Fester. That’s more than the Zebrette can say. :(

Anyway, the most probable result of the second leg will be 0-0.

Two observations regarding Torino: -Marino went back to the 4-3-3. -Surprisingly enough, I was right about Pepe and Di Natale getting starts, so I'm 1 for 1, although with the three-man front, Floro Flores was in there as well.

However, of course the run of the match will influence on f.i. Toto, Quaglia or Alexis being thrown on, if we were to snatch up vital points late in the game. Mister Marino played a 4-4-2 in Poznan (Sanchez and Quagliarella on top), and hasn't he lately been going away from his beloved 4-3-3? I mean, I think it's still the defining trademark line-up of Udinese with 3 strikers no matter who you meet or where, but Marino being able to vary a bit also regarding formation, that isn't a bad thing after all. The own goal in Poland was fantastic. Clearly an autogol, but never possible without the vicious thunderstrike of Pasquale. He played well, and so did Coda and Zapata, but in the end we just saw one of those usual collapses. Our attack wasn't impressive, and although Alexis & Quaglia are my favourite starters (in a 3 man attack), I must admit that they didn't do very well. Sanchez had a lot of energy as always, but it seemed like the others haven't yet quite understood his ways of running, the irrational element to his movement etc. Quagliarella scored one his best ever headers, but apart from that he wasted some clear chances and ran in a couple of offsides (I wish he had the clinical coolness of Di Natale). 2-2 wasn't a disaster, esp. not if we drag home a 1-1 on Thursday ... :) Now it's time to find a place to watch the Torino game, come on now, Zebrette! And Vin, thank you very much for the impressive work on this site - it fills my heart with warmth and hope! For once you feel like our not alone in the world as a proud Udinese-fan ...

I'm not sure why they let it go on like that. Let's hope there's no freak snow storm in Italy next week. Wasn’t that field awful? I’m not sure why they let it go on like that.
