if it was up to me, i'd play a 3 man mid. a 2 man mid with the available players is weak as fuck and will get overrun by the better teams.
if we play Motta and DDR/Parolo in a 2 man mid, i want them to play really deep (CDM like) so that they don't need to cover a lot a space. the rest of the team could be a little more attacking then.

i don't know, i still see a gaping hole in the middle. @Post Ironic
i think if you play a 2 man mid, those two should be WC. i mean a lot a teams play with 3 CM's and easily outnumber us, which isn't THAT bad/can be compensated if your mids are Marchisio and Verratti...
but with Motta (a holding mid, not a real CM) and Parolo - good night.
3 CM's is the way to go.

i fear it will be good enough to beat belgium.
We face a tough game. We're a team that's best on the counter, but we like possession football. Italians have always been very comfortable defending deep and since that's where the talent of this Italy team lies, they could keep it 0-0 till late in the game and score on that one chance they are bound to have.
What's more, we're going into this game overconfident after toying with Italy for the last 20 minutes of our friendly last November. Our players will have forgotten that there was a point in that game when Italy was the better side and we were really struggling.
And to top it all of it's a tournament opener, so it's always going to be a tough game for both sides.
