Also, Immobile is a real weak link in this team. He's not technically good enough to link with others, and now he's not scoring goals he's a big problem.
Definitely. He seems horribly exposed in this Mancini side as a throwback to past Italy setups where the plan was simply to hoof a ball forward or into the box at him or Belotti

Italy looked better with a false than with him but i suppose they do want a goalscorer. But if that is the idea then it should be Kean filling in at CF as Italy have wing alternatives.

Kean has messed up a couple times with the final ball now. Does the hard part to beat his man and get in the box but can't make the simple ball for a teammate. But I don't really see him as a winger anyways. He's probably a little uncomfortable in these situations.

Seems to be an issue with Italy in general tonight in the final 3rd. They don't seem to be on same wavelength or just a lack of quality.
