@Hustini, useful in a 4-3-3

I saw he was using it.

I can't believe Gilardino still gets to play for Italy. That's so retarded.

Why? He's scoring goals regularly this season.

With five forwards in a squad, I'd always have one genuine poacher in there to provide a different option.

Pazzini is injured, so it's really down to Matri v Gilardino for that spot.

Given that Gilardino has played more and been more consistent this season, it's not unreasonable for him to be in there.

I'd consider it more of a joke that a shithead like Osvaldo, who has lost his place in the Roma team, is getting a call up.

 

[JuveJay]

150 goals in his last 350 Serie A games since Parma, 17 goals in 48 at international level.

I don't mind if he's a fifth forward, but seeing him against Brazil made me /facepalm

I'm not a huge fan of Matri personally but IMO he's a better player than Gila for sure. Even when he found the net he was benched most of the time at Juve. Both are poachers but I think Matri offers more on the pitch, Gila is just a box player who's far from being good at that. Last season he scored only 5 goals as well.

I'd have Matri ahead of Gilardino, too, but I can understand Prandelli going with Gilardino just now.

I'd have Pazzini ahead of both of them, though.

ITALJUVE!

SEEEE SALTELLI MUORE BALOTELLLIIIIIIIIIIII!!

 

[The Curr]

If Chiellini was fit would he be LB or would Bonucci be dropped?

 

[Klin]

I think Bonucci would be dropped.

 

[The Curr]

Silly Prandelli.

 

[Klin]

Or maybe play a 3-5-2.

 

[The Curr]

They should definitely play 3 at the back.

Who are RBs for Italy? Don't tell me Abate is the best choice..

And Montolovo is such a crap, sad days were when Juve wanted him.

Maggio started against Brazil I think.

And I agree on Montolivo.

Montolivo is far from crap.

 

[Badass J Elkann]

he is not particularly great neither, still i struggle to see what his best role actually is, he's not a regista and he doesn't have the stamina to be a box to box player, and neither is he a particularly good tackler of the ball. Basically he is Italy's Michael Carrick

 

[The Curr]

Carrick is much better at both passing and winning the ball back.

 

[ALC]

Montolivo is far from crap.

I agree, not a world beater but he's a pretty good midfielder.

Carrick has been really good lately.

 

[TrezJuve]

Montolivo is a good player, he picked his game up.

He had a good Euro and he's having a fine season at Milan.

 

[Dostoevsky]

Maggio started against Brazil I think.

Oh, right, Maggio... forgot about him. But he's not so great for 4 man defense, though.

Montolivo is far from crap.

He sucks.

Horrible player.
