Serie A: Fiorentina v Frosonine

Fiorentina v Frosonine

Sunday Morning

Finally! We are the early morning kick off! How long I have waited to wake up on Sunday morning and look forward without looking too far forward to the next Serie A Viola match. It also means that despite not being the big league match, we will still almost certainly be televised in the UK.

You join me after a really difficult two weeks which is starting to wind down and I'll be able to get some rest soon. However, the work is not completely done yet and I'll have to be ready for action again until I can truly rest - much like our team!

The win last week brought stability to a slippage that looked like we were about to come into a nightmare of losses. We, instead, took a win to stay afloat with all the other teams surrounding teams who also won. We are two points from the top. Roma currently occupy the summit two points clear of us, three of which we gave to them. We really need to stop doing that.

We also need to steer clear of tricky newly promoted teams like Frosonine that could provide a banana skin to our relatively decent start to the season.

I heard somewhere that Gilberto is back? I'll breathe easy if that's the case, especially given that Marcos Alonso is still unavailable. According to the team officials Astori is completely fine. This is another relief given how much his presence has improved the team.

I wonder sometimes, should we have an alternative home formation?
