i agree, with hes playing with someone playing the same position as him, its quite hard to play a game with someone in the same spot u wanna be in. they should let him play his own game. im not saying he will become god, but still, give him a go on his own.
HAHA De Rossi in the game against Ghana and then the final against France made more of an impact than Gerrard has in his entire England career!
De Rossi IS NOT a Pirlo type player. I don't think De Rossi is even a pure regista nor is he used as one but don't quote me. De Rossi is an all around CM type of player, he's well balanced. Pirlo is the conductor, he's a rarity. One bad game in a friendly shouldn't be used to judge his worth. I think, and I've been saying this for some time, Pirlo needs a rest! He's been playing almost non-stop since 2004. He needs to be rested this summer.
LOL at Montolivo being called over Pirlo. The kid is too green, it have been evident in every game he's played with the NT. Pirlo is our regista, and I don't buy the "he's useless when he's pressed" because he's good enough to get around CDMs when he's in form. We got taken to school in the technical aspect against Spain because Pirlo was missing, did you guys forget? Our midfield was so dire that game, no creativity whatsoever. A perfect midfield would consist of Pirlo, Gattuso, DeRossi, Aquilani with 4 in the back. ...................Buffon ............Canna.......Chiellini Zambro.................................Grosso .................Gattuso...... ...........................Pirlo...... .......Aquilani....................DeRossi ..........................Rossi(Cassano) .................Toni
I really like the formation you posted above. The only alteration I would make is: ...................Buffon ............Canna.......Chiellini Zambro.................................Grosso .................Gattuso...... ...........................Pirlo...... ..Aquilani/Cassano................DeRossi ..........................Rossi .................Toni Rossi is the best forward we have; there is no way he should not be a starter. IMO, he is better than Gila, Toni, Di Natale, etc.
Realistically, you guys can take Cassano out of the team. I doubt he will ever get called up by Lippi again.
..................buffon santon..chiellini..santacroce..motta giovinco......derossi.....aquilani .................cassano ..............rossi......balotelli best starting line-up, italy would rape any team
Not even on the Playstation would that team be strong. Poor De Rossi would be run ragged on that midfield.
I'm hoping Palombo continues his best form and gets another crack at the NT, I rather like him and would love to do a swap of Perrotta for Palombo.
you think boring.. we'd have the same italy team that plays boring soccer too. we have the players to attack, so lets attack. edit: roma has a loser mentally along with there fans... i bet you 'd play perotta or something
De Rossi is the best player on the National team right now and Palombo would make him even better. Pirlo just drags him down.
clearly, but hes a roma fan that probably wants loser roma players on the team. we all saw what happened in euro 08.. lets move on
Yes, yes he is. Well-spotted. I'd like you to identify these players for everyone, please. This seems randomly tacked on.
Really like who? De Rossi - He did fine @ Euro 08 - W/O him Holland won 0-3 + Scored a Goal vs. France and did well vs. Romania and Spain. Old Man Panucci = He did alright as CD and scored a goal (the only goal vs. Romania) Perrotta - Did his Part vs, Romania, France and Spain Aquilani - Only played vs Spain So w/o Roma Players, Italy would have been out @ Group Stage.

your good at posting stats... but how well did they work then donald duck played with a all roma midfield.. dont u remeber, we did amazing!!!!
not randomly tacked on at all, did u watch euro 08, do you remember our all roma midfield? maybe that escaped your mind due to the excitment of roma getting past the group stage of the champions league...LOL
