What do you expect from the new balotelli I hope Allegri next gives him kick in the butt really disappointing attitude and no improvement in his hold up play or link up play

I hardly think losing a Nations League game to Spain with 10 men needs a pep talk for the future. This would be a one goal game either way, just as the Euros game could have gone.
Obviously they were going to lose at some point so it might as well be in a glorified friendly, but a normal boring friendly would have been better, at least there is a trophy of sorts on the line for this. I'd imagine any of the teams would be pleased to win it, especially Belgium.

replace insigne and immobile with better players and they would be favorites
I did chuckle at that comment. Just won the Euros, and Euro teams have won the last 4 World Cups.
Obviously the general point that it would be better to have a world class striker is valid, but you can find ways around it, as they've already shown.
France won the World Cup in 1998 with Stephane fricking Guivarc'h up front.

Immobile gets lots of crap but at least his play is useful for the team. Better option than Kean. Raspadori could be the answer but he is a bit too early, his time to shine will be after imo. Scammaca, or any of the Serie B strikers aren't up to it yet.
Unless its Chiesa as CF, Immobile remains the best choice for the WC.
The player that needs to start imo is Calabria at RB. Pellegrini, Locatelli, Zaniolo must also be all in close contention as form demands.

Yes but we saw this script playout in the euros as well. Italy played well and created enough the whole game, 11v11 and 10v11. Even if Bastoni didn't clear that (mistakes happen), had Bonucci not been so unnecessarily sent off, I'm pretty confident the game would have gone our way. Chiesa, Insigne, and Bernardeschi had all gone very close at that point.
Spain didn't create much from the middle, most chances came from Oyarzabal dominating Di Lorenzo, who played his worst game for the azzurri last night.
