Althou I think this is not correct, we can use Grygera on the other side.
Giorgio is back BTW not a winger:D, those aren't his duties

but he likes to get forward, so i think he needs some accuracy of crossing.
for a stable defensive LB, criscito will make great work despite his poor attacking ability, but i think we should hold the tradition of attacking LB

An attacking LB is impotant because Neddy likes to move into the centre so without a full back getting forward we wouldn't have enough width on the left.

Remember Chiellini is only 22, there's still a lot of good to come from him. He's already cemented his place as a regular, and he'll only get better.

What the heck was this about?:D

England could have been four clear by the half-hour, rather than two. Lita missed horribly after rounding Viviano, and then crashed a loose ball against the bar. England had no time for self-pity. They were too focused on stretching Italy - and their kit. Both of Chiellini's socks were soon ripped through his high-speed duel with James Milner. "Take him on, he can't f****** play,'' screamed Pearce as Milner ran at the Juventus left-back again and again.

Why does he rip his socks? Tacchinardi use to the same thing but Chiellini takes to the next level
And why did both of them do that? :confused2

Chiellini left to rue Italy lapses



Italy captain Giorgio Chiellini blamed "15 minutes of complete madness" for his side's 2-2 draw against England in a match he feels they "dominated".

The Juventus left-back scored Italy's opener on 35 minutes, deflecting home a corner from close range - "like pinball" - after Pierluigi Casiraghi's team had conceded two strikes in three minutes to England's David Nugent and Leroy Lita. "If you see the chances and look at the statistics, aside from those 15 minutes of complete madness, we clearly dominated," he said. "We had over 30 shots on goal. We created so much in attack."

Of the Azzurrini's awful beginning at the Gelredome, the 22-year-old added: "We had hoped to start the game better. We had ten or 15 minutes of total amnesia in which none of us were on the field. After that initial blackout, in which we jeapordised the result of the game, we hit back. After England's second goal we were a completely different side - the exact opposite of the one on the pitch until then." And once they had the bit between their teeth, Chiellini believes his team-mates were unstoppable. "Yesterday was the best we have played since Pierluigi Casiraghi took charge nine months ago." They could easily have won, although the defender insists "we can't blame our forwards, they created so many chances".

Italy must now beat the Czech Republic in their third fixture on Sunday and hope Group B winners Serbia deny England victory in order to reach the semi-finals. "Unfortunately we didn't manage to find a winning goal and now we're hoping that Serbia draw against England in the last game," said Chiellini. "We have to win our last one and then see what happens in the other match. It is not over yet, and you can be sure that we'll give everything we have until the very end."
