Costa is a cunt but that's not news.
No mid at all and a guy who could do something with a ball is not playing. Is Marco still injured? If not then Ventura should be sacked immediately for not starting him.
No forwards. most in-from are Immobile and Belotti. Not even close to their quality but reminds me of Sacchi's boys always playing and having Zola/Signori on the bench. Both who could take penalty Mr. Sacchi. :mad:

This is the worst game i've seen italy play in a long time. ,

No trust in youger players are killing Italy.
The likes of Verratti, Insigne, Berardi, Jorginho, Belotti should get their chances.

Never will happen tough.

Worst 45 mins of a big game I've seen for such a long time. I've no idea what they are even trying to do. Bit of pressing might be nice. Passing to a teammate, could be an idea. Just throwing a few things out there. Italy look like the Dog & Duck. There's a technical gap between the teams but it gets bridged by things they aren't even attempting to do.

Spain don't create ferocious spells of play where you feel they could score at any moment, but on this approach the very best Italy can hope for is a 0-0, barring some horrific error or assface getting a red for Spain.

One of the saddest displays I've ever seen from Italy so far.

Ventura is a joke... 2 shitty washed up mids slower than life and an average one.

That midfield didn't let the defenders even breathe. It was a horror show, as predicted.

Italy NT is hopeless, as it should be when you look at people who run Italian football.

Ventura said he'll only be able to play one of the two qualifiers. Everyone was expecting he'd start against Spain, seeing as Italy could do with his insane ability to hold on to possession and control tempo of the midfield...but Ventura is starting him against Macedonia instead.
Good for me. I'm attending that game, so seeing Verati live is positive for me.

Verratti isn't injured. Started both of PSG's last 2 matches. Midweek in the CL and then on the weekend.
