Dependant on personnel and circumstances. It was good against Dortmund. I blame this draw on a some shit defending by our boys, a midfield that consisted of no one performing bar verratti, who then tried to do too much. To add to that a forward line that consisted of no one who could create, it's not normally going to end well. Eder did score a good goal but he shouldn't really be in the team, not good enough. Immobile is awful.

Immobile-Zaza...surely the worst front-two Italy has ever started with? Truly bizarre, they are basically the same kind of player and yet Conte persists with them game after game.

Bertolacci shouldnt be anywhere near the team, let alone starting a crucial away qualifier, Candreva is played out of position AGAIN by Conte and Verratti was the best player, but can't do it all on his own. Sirigu should have done better on one of the goals. Also, I forgot how boring his version of the 3-5-2 is. Slow, ponderous and predictable beyond all belief. Also, he insists on all three of the slow CBs from Juve to push really high at all times, which leaves them susceptible for counters.

Italy play Croatia (away) next, and Norway play Azerbaijan I think. So very real possibility of Italy being in 3rd at the end of the match day :lol: Too bad under the new format, 3rd place teams enter the playoff. Ridiculous.


I don't see Conte taking Italy to Euro 2016. Can see him snapping and quitting during this qualifying. Would be hilarious

Thisis why i say he is a very tactically limited coach, and he wanted to mask his flaws by blaming Juventus for not giving him top tier players.

He has a looong way to go as a coach. Maybe even not..but his stubborness is his major weakness. He never wants to admit a mistake, instead want to proove the world wrong just to feed his ego.


He needs to change for his own sake.

Yesterday I watched a Korean movie called the chaser.

Movie was about an ex-cop turned into a pimp. His bitches start disappearing, he finds the dude responsible and the pimp thinks that dude sold the bitches off. Anyways turned out the dude that made the chicks disappear killed them all off.

Reason he killed them was because he was impotent and couldn't get physically aroused.

Basically the point I'm trying to put across is that Conte is the dude that can't get aroused and kills off teams because of his incompetence.

Everything about Italy is so mediocre right now, it's sad to see.

And in 2012, the squad looked so average, and look what happened.

Now we don't even have that, the squad is mediocre and the play is even worse. Two easy world cup group stages failed in a row.

There's no point watching these international qualifiers, I just want to see Juve in champions league already.

one of biggest problem of italy , it the culture of young talents. In italy people like the guy with experience also if he is not something more the the young brillant guy , because he is too young

International Football is fucking boring and pointless. Only time it's worthwhile and fun to watch is in tournaments like the WC or Euros or whatever, which aren't as good as they used to be anyway.

And to think in a couple of years time, UEFA are introducing this useless fucken Nations League garbage :sergio: More pointless NT games, and more chances for our players to get injured/fatigued.

the funny thing is under prandelli fans were calling for the 3-5-2 and now under Conte fans want a change in formation. I'd still rather have Conte for a manager than prandelli who has proven both at international and club level how limited he is far more limited than Conte to say the least
