Great to see plenty of Italia players starting but kind of resembles the look of a mid-table serie team.
That said very small sample size, but liked what #46 did last match. Seemed to have some moves controlling the ball when closely guarded. #38 was okay but seemed like a grinta type player with not a lot of upside talent wise. And all for seeing a Frabotta out there.
Hope to see Chiellini and Demiral making a cameo each in this one, or even better, would like to see them for a few minutes playing together, that'd literally be the highlight of the day for me.
I like him, he's tall and rangy but gets forward well. Doesn't have quite the left foot of someone similar like a Grosso but it is decent, and he makes space well for himself to cross. His technique is sound.
He's quite experienced for a young player as he already had a successful season on loan with Pordenone before he joined us but he was on the fringes of the Bologna team before we signed him so he is fairly promising.
Defensively he tends to recover well but this would be a different level for him so it might be a tough game in that respect.
Its the kind of game Fagioli, our biggiest talent, should play, but isnt even called up. Kinda of a bummer. He is younger then the rest, but plays with U23 too.
I'd like to see Matuidi instead of Benta. Not Matuidi's position but closed. And just for one meaningless game. Benta really needs a rest because the Lyon game will be brutal.
