Pellegrini with the tap in.

Italy look much better with these more “unheralded” players.

Yeah they are defenitely playing better then the bunch vs Argentina. Regardless of what the score is.

Don't know but i recognize the name from FM.

I think his first name is Wilfred lol

A football manager legend. We now know what Mancinis favourite game is.

been a while since I played that game. Are the latest editions much better?

Yep even if they go on to lose.

There’s quite a few from that Argentina match who should never play for Italy again. Might as well rip the band-aid off now and get these younger and less-established players used to big international games.

Was that Acerbi who couldn't clear the ball?

I like 22. Theyve fixed some of the glaring issues with the recent ones.

Teams can actually play through the middle, players will square the ball etc.

Tonali and Scammacca should be starters

Scamacca holds the ball up much better than any other Italian striker. Should always start imo. Dangerous in the air, good on the ball. He’s had a good game tonight.

Looked like it.

Italy badly need to find another CB for when Bonucci and Bastoni aren’t available. Hopefully this Gatti fella we signed steps up.

he is a much better fit for this Italy team than Immobile or Belotti imo

Scalvini and Ghilardi look like exceptional prospects, but for the next couple of years someone else need to be a solid 3rd option.

Romagnoli?

 

[Gigiventus]

Sign Gnonto!

We should, the kid looks like a beast of a talent.

 

[JuveJay]

Romagnoli?

Not sure what happened to him, but at 27 I wouldn't be surprised to see a renaissance. Barzagli was seen as finished at the top level at 29.

 

[maxi]

Probably already said but that Gnonto kid looks interesting.

 

[Gigiventus]

Romagnoli?

Needs to rediscover his football. Leaving Milan should do him well. Gianluca Mancini is looking better and better, might be too much of a butcher and an ass, but maybe that is the right profile to pair with a technical defender like Bastoni.

 

[JuveJay]

Mancini is a real poor man's Chiellini, without the brain. More like a Materazzi wannabe.

 

[Gigiventus]

Yeah Materazzi is a good comparison. A real unlikeable character, he was very useful though. Mancini's attitude in the conference league final was useful too, at least he seems fearless.

Reported formation by the media for Hungary tonight

ITALIA (4-3-3) La probabile formazione: Donnarumma; Calabria, Mancini, Bastoni, Spinazzola; Pellegrini, Cristante, Barella; Politano, Raspadori, Gnonto
