The little man did pretty good bar the 2 or three Sergio Ramos passes

I know it's a friendly & I know it's Italy but that defence was just too lax plus Prandelli's experiment went to hell.

 

[JuveJay]

I don't think that could have gone any worse, it was a pretty bad opening goal to concede but after that it looked like a loss of interest back there.

Now an ultimately meaningless match becomes an uncomfortable loss. But really, what a fucking ridiculous game.

The Bad -
Bonucci
Maggio
Balza
De Sanctis
De Rossi
Cassano
Montolivio

The good
Balo
Pirlo
Marchi
Buffon

Maggio and Ogbonna cost Italy the game,although Bonucci was also bad.
They need Chiellini and he needs to perform.
I think maybe 3-5-2 should be used..That would at least be better for Bonucci..

 

[Klovn]

Nobody mention Marchisio, how did he play?

1 of the good..

 

[JuveJay]

Remember the good old days when we were able to beat teams like russia and the u.s?

You're right, Italy might as well pack their bags and go home now, if they can't win this match.

 

[Juventino[RUS]]

Balotelli, montolivo, ogbonna, de sanctis, motta gtfo please Giovinco as rw 1 week to fix it prandelli

 

[Ironz]

So what we saying!? Italy to win the euros?

 

[deggen10]

You overlooked Buffon and Chiellini.

Midfield lacks so much bite. Someone like Gat(prime) or Vidal would make team favorites.

 

[Bianconero_Aus]

Maggio horrorshow. He and his Napoli counterpart at fault for two goals.

Just a lame, disjointed and uninterested performance. A fitting end to a terrible week to Italy. Need to lift their spirits big time before their next match against the best team in the world.

Not gonna be easy.

 

[Juventino[RUS]]

Marchisio was invisible like ninjas at the nighttime

Ya was hoping De Rossi do be more terrier like but he didn't show much in today's game.

Prandelli is really destroying our records, loss against the Ireland, USA and now Russia. Cassano and Monto was horrible out there.
Spain, Ireland and Croat will have their morale boosted with our defeat.

Balotelli was by far the best attacker today. BY FAR.
Ogbonna needs to be played IN POSITION not as LB! We only have 1 true LB left in the squad Chiellini should perhaps be played there in the real games..?

Preferable starting XI:

Balotelli Giovinco
Marchisio Noccerino De Rossi
Pirlo
Chiellini Bonucci Barzagli Abate
Buffon​

Barzagli Man of the Match for Italy!

Ah okay, just thought you were talking in general for the team.

I think De Rossi is as good as it will be, not a bad option really even though he's not the type you're on about. I think Prandelli has done well to make this team retain possession as a way of keeping goals out, tonight was a horror flick.

As I said earlier, this team knows it can defend better than that. 2 goals conceded in 10 games of qualification, and then 3 conceded in a single match.

Preferable starting XI:

Balotelli Giovinco
Marchisio Noccerino De Rossi
Pirlo
Chiellini Bonucci Barzagli Abate
Buffon​

Exactly this line-up

Nothing else to add.

 

[JuveJay]

I think the police should have a close look at De Sanctis' phone calls just before this game.

I think the police should have a close look at De Sanctis' phone calls just before this game.

They'll find irregular and unusual calls and then the media will blame it all on his Juventus past.
