Iaquinta wasnt useless at all,he played a Good match,he was runninng everywhere & he fought on every ball.
At least he has some pace in comparison with Alex & Inzagui.
As for Di Natale,U cant call a player who scored twice in a close game ending 2_1 horrible,it is just not right,he wasnt that Impressive but again he has pace & thats exactly what Italy are lacking upfront.
I think when he starts playing for Udinise regularly,him & Toni will give a Good line up upfront.
It will really Suck if either Italy or France didnt qualify,I know that Scotland are playing it like worriors & they have the Best Crowd in the world, But not seeing Class players like the ones of Italy & France in the Euro will not be pretty.
Anyway Italy can still make it happen & beat Scotland in Hampden Park which will really be The Hardest Test for The Azzuri.
He had pace because there were spaces to run into. He cannot control the ball cos his first touch is shite.
He overhit his crosses and the chances he got and they were a couple he did not make good use of them.
Comparing his contribution to what Inzaghi and Dp had to cope with is unfair as France have a far better defence and unlike Ukraine, France did not come out to play so it was extremely difficult for Inzaghi to do anything with Thuram, Escude and Abidal watching his every move.
In the 2 games, Italy played better against France and because they did not win people are acting like they were utter shite cos they were not, they were far worse against an inferior opposition in Ukraine.
I know its impossible to tell but I cannot see Di natale and Iaquinta causing any problems whatsoever to the |France team, the way they played and Inzaghi would surely have carved out chances against Ukraine.
My analysis is not based on results as I am not a result obsessed person. I am not 1 of those people especially reporters that go overboard depending on whether a team won or lost
I dont know why people went overboard as regards Inzaghi, France have 1 of the if not the meanest defendign unit in world football and its very difficult to score against them and for a striker, its a thankless task, not alone playing there by yourself.
The only Italian striker, I would play before Inzaghi is Toni becos as far as I am concerned he is superior to Lucarelli, Gilardino, Iaquinta and the other number 9s in Italy unless Vieri starts to take football seriously again
