for all the good …that prandelli is achieving, in terms of engineering an admirable tenacity and belief in the squad and also attempting to unearth and bring through the next generation of azzurri players, tactically and selection wise he is failing miserably. And through this tactical failure of catastrophic proportions, the bad seeds he is sewing are stifling the good.

The juve rearguard triumvirate were phenomenal last season. Not only do they work incredibly well together but they also have a bond with buffon.

After the horrid performance against
the japs, why did he not employ the juve blockade against a team with world class firepower but a relatively poor midfield, suspect defence and rarely safe goalkeeper? Maggio is a specialist wingback. Defensively he is very average, but in a 352 he can be great as a wingback, with 3 CBS in attendance to plug any gaps he leaves at the back.

Players like montolivio, candreva and worst of all aquiliani, obviously have no place on the international stage. They are sub standard. 8 goals conceded in 3 games.

It’s time to revert to the golden rule of playing to your strengths. Our strengths are the juve rearguard blockade, pirlo and de rossi, balotelli and cassano and di natale. Even totti could be given a role in the squad…for he remains a force in serie a. Criscito at lwb. Maggio on the right.

Buffon
Maggio barzagli bonucci chiello criscito
De rossi pirlo giacherini
Balotelli di natale/ cassano/ totti

To blood…el sharaaway, di sciglio,
veratti, ogbonna.

Swap marchisio for the little goblin in the above formation if he recovers/discovers his self belief at international level. Or chuck claudio in his juve role and push the little goblin up to support balo…our two best offensive talents on current form.

Yeah he needs to learn to utilise the right formation for the players available. 3-5-2 is the way to go, all of our 3 CBs now look badly out of place in a 4 man backline now.

Clowns like Aquilani and Montolivo shouldn't be anywhere near the squad in 2014 - hopefully Verratti and Florenzi and co can't be introduced soon enough to this team. Midfield needs freshing up.

De Rossi always $#@!s me off watching him play for the Azzurri. Count how many times/game he hopelessly misplaces passes in dangerous areas.
Yeah, but he offers more protection to the defence than any other Italian midfielder does imo.

Italy always had core of Juve players so it comes natural to support them.
In my case I started supporting Italy first than came Juve.
Of course I support my country as well but as I spent plenty of summers as a teenager in small Italian southern city Ugento I have feelings for them.
croatia vs italy who would you support.
if you have a history with italy it is logic to support italy but if you are having nothing of italian in your blood and you support italy cos they have a lot of juve players in the football team is kinda weird.

the whole reason behind international games is to support your country and the fact you can't pick your teams. Clubs are for everyone to pick.
Nationality is not for picking. My family would go nuts if I would support italy over Holland. I am not only supporting holland with football, but also with Hockey, Basketball and all other sports and contents or what ever.

Spain are going to absolutely destroy us. And it's a damn shame, because fuck Spain.

I like this. But no formation is going to fix the personal mistakes or unforced errors, and there is where I think there problem really lies, in the mentality.

I hope Neymar gets hit by a bus. Fucking piece of shit of a player.
:agree:

You don't like Italy anyway.
