Re: Italian National Team Thread

[Eivindo]

He gets the easiest yellow and red cards, only Ibra and Mario would get those, *bleep* Norwegian *bleep*

[Tomwin Lannister]

We're playing 4-3-1-1 and our solution is to swap Pirlo for Aquilani...

wtf Prandelli, I've never understood that man.

[Tomwin Lannister]

Not to mention our lone striker is 5 ft 6.

[zarola]

not to mention our lone striker can hardly score lmfaoo^^

[Tomwin Lannister]

And that lmfao.


Quagliarella for the NT Prandelli.

[Eivindo]

Prandelli - u failed big time tonight. Did he not see how predictable our formation made us? Slow movement in midfield, turning up towards Balo and Sharawy when they had 3 guys marking each lol

[Tomwin Lannister]

4-3-1-2 is narrow enough as it is without playing a CB at LB and a RB who can't provide a good cross.

How Prandelli can't see this is beyond me.

Not to mention we need our 'TQ' to be providing the service for the front two. But he's not actually a TQ.

Tactical nightmare using this team with a 4-3-1-2.

Subs sucked too.

[Tomwin Lannister]

0 shots on target

[zarola]

what a depressing game.... you wait sooo long to see your country play and then they play like this -.-
not awful defending though.

[Luca]

Qualifying in style.
Prandelli lost the plot tonight, what on earth was he thinking? There isn't a positive thing I can say about the performance. I guess the pairing of Bonucci and Barzagli was decent but going forward this was one of the ugliest teams.

Mario's sending off was harsh, very harsh in my opinion.

Oh well, onto the confederations cup

[Tomwin Lannister]

0 shots on target

Can quote this now because the game is long over, and still...

0 shots on target.

Brb play 3-5-2 players in a 4-3-1-2

Brb Has no TQ but builds system around one

Brb forcing Chiello into his dreaded place

Brb 4-3-1-2 is narrow, best RB can't cross anyway. Width = None

Brb lone striker is now Giovinco, brings on Aquilani for Pirlo.

Prandelli

Doesn't take a vast array of coaching badges and a wealth of experience to know that

A) 4-3-1-2 with this squad is just stupid

B) 3-5-2 is obviously suited to most of the team

C) Quags > Gila, Sau, Giovinco etc etc.

D) Aquilani for Pirlo is not an actual valid substitution, ever.

[nasir6371]

Misses next game for this challenge

[Tomwin Lannister]

Lmfao can't even be mad at Balo.

The guy done *bleep* all wrong that game.
