thats why i would play Candreva and Marchisio infront of a midfield3 in a 4-3-2-1. they will help out the fullbacks and besides, Abate isnt so terrible, he usually performs well in the more important games. the question is, who wll be the opposite fullback. Chiellini? Darmian? will we see a back3 /with DDR in the central role, not Bonucci). it will most likely be Darmian, as that will change the rest of the team least...

May I know how much we are earning from his sale to dortmund?
half of 18 mill?

Yes, just 9 mil. Maybe 9.5.

England is going down! :vinny:

 

[AFL_ITALIA]

With De Sciglio and Barzagli injured? Bonucci better turn into Cannavaro.

 

[Nomuken]

Tell me about it the guy needs to use the height he has. Cannavaro was 5"8 and still dominated in the air, Bonuccci can't be missing around this tournament with his panic pass backs only to give it to the opposing side to poach a goal.

 

[JuveJay]

Heading isn't just about height, it's timing and leap.

England to beat Italy
Costa Rica and Uruguay to smash England.
Costa Rica upsets Italy

STFU @Fr3sh

Barzagli is starting. Paletta will be the other CB apparently.

#ITA's probable line-up against #ENG according to Sky Sport

I expect that to look like a 4-3-3. I'm happy Prandelli noticed Bonucci would be a liability in a 4-man back line.

Buffon
Darmian Barzagli Paletta Chiellini
De Rossi Pirlo Verratti
Candreva Balotelli Marchisio
​

 

[Red]

Wonder why Prandelli took Bonucci then?

I imagine if Italy go to a back three it'd probably be with De Rossi playing sweeper, so Bonucci would appear to be a long way down the pecking order either way.

pretty much as expected, this was pretty much the lineup he used vs Ireland.

4-3-2-1 with Candreva and Marchisio behind Balotelli.

i expected Darmian at the LB position, as that would keep the central defense of Barza-Chiellini unchanged, but i guess this will work too. Chiellini and Marchisio will shut down that side, im sure

 

[Ocelot]

Just fucking play a back 3 instead of fucking Chiellini at LB

Yeah 4-3-2-1 with the ability for Marchisio and Candreva to drift to the wings at times.

What the fuck...

 

[j0ker]

No grass? No problem, paint the field green.

 

[AFL_ITALIA]

I mean, I guess I could see what he's trying to do. But if Balotelli is having an off day we'll provide nothing offensively.
