What a waste of 45 mins that was. Eder and Pelle are absolutely unwatchable at the moment, zero link up play, zero hold up ability. Also, Sweden absolutely dominating the game physically, Italian players just bouncing off them.
just like at the world cup '14: play brilliant football against 1st opponent (england), play like shit in the 2nd round against a "smaller" team (costa rica)
Eder and Pellè are utter crap! dunno why he doesn't field Insigne and Zaza or Immobile!!
What a utter piss! plus a midfield Giaccherini-De Rossi- Parolo is making me puke! Dammit Marchisio and Verrati.
Also, Sweden are happy to sit deep so Bonucci's long balls aren't working at all. Zaza, Insigne or El Sha and players of that ilk should come on IMO. They have the necessary skill and technique to help open up the game, because the current front two are failing miserably.
yea long ball to Pelle and quick flick forward isn't working at all. Italy need some possession and attacking players with the technique to do something with it
that's so unambitious considering you've just beaten the heavily favoured team to top and Sweden and Ireland are actually teams you should be able to beat
