IMO they should play Cerci instead, more skill and cuts in. Abate is a traditional winger that hugs the line and challenges with pace, but not much skill.

Because the coach is Casiragh. 
Andrea Poli from what I've seen is really talented and is capable of giving the team some creativity, (with a good sense of goals, too), more than Abate. Abate is defensively stronger, reminds of me Pepe, actually. Casiraghi's idea, however, is to reply on the three attackers with the 3-men midfielders and even WBs focused on defending. In the match against Serbia, one of the reasons why Italian coudn't win, IMO, was they had limited attacking sources. I'd rather apply to only two attackers but with more attacking from the WBs and midfielders.

Yeah, I guess we'll see... and Balotelli's suspension will hurt, even if he is a douchebag. Still, Marchisio really just stayed at home in front of the defense today - he can get more involved offensively, if he needs to.
I'm also wondering if Paloschi is still with this team. I saw him listed amongst the substitutes on ESPN, but I haven't actually seen him, or heard anyone talk about him during the games. I'm sure Osman would know the answer to this...
Alberto is pretty talented, and if he's healthy and with the team, he could potentially be useful.

Just watched Balotelli's goal. Truly class finish, the guy's a cocky asshole, his celebration is almost identical to Zlatan's. It was inevitable that Zlatan's disgustingly arrogant attitude would have its influence on Balotelli but I never thought it would be to the point where Balotelli would even mimick Ibra's goal celebrations.
That aside, he's one of the most talenetd 18 year olds in world football.
If only he didn't play for Inter.

Dont see how Balotelli is more talented then Rossi at all. 3 years younger yes, but Rossi was an ace at 18 too, difference being had top class players like Rooney, Ruud, Ronaldo and et all ahead of him (While Inter only had Ibra being of any quality, plus he has the size and physicality to jump into senior footie quicker).
Rossi has trained and played in the EPL, A and La Liga which is something Balotelli hasn't experienced. Rossi has 92 club games at the top leagues in the some of best footballing countries in the world.
I think Rossi is the better player right now. Talent wise, who knows. One is 22 the other is 18. That stuff will play out over the years and we will be able to tell.
I don;t thnk there is any doubt that both are special talents.
