That's very possible but the only way to see someone's true form is during the game. He should have at least got 30 minutes vs Ukraine
Probably wouldn't have hurt, but I think if Mancini is set on the three that we saw against Ukraine and seem to be starting again today, he's trying to get at least one formation under wraps that works. Remains to be seen how he modifies that when a true #9 emerges.
Insane amount of pressure on this game going in, who said the nations league doesn’t matter? Hopefully we can score in the first half and bring on Immobile to attack open space in the second.
So much quality on the ball with this system... but no target in the middle Can we play with 12 players? I don’t want to give up anyone in this formation for a number 9
Can the ESPN guys be any more boring? Going to try and find a Rai stream. Good pressure, still not finishing well. Need a quick goal in the 2nd to get that monkey off their back.
WOW really good performance so far, just very unlucky. I'm not even sure if I can say we are finishing poor because Szczesny has just been really good. Just need to get more power on our shots I guess. I see a goal coming pretty soon into the second half.
Barella Jorginho Verratti is our best midfield since Pirlo De Rossi Marchisio Montolivo diamond in 2012
Balotelli? Is it still possible for him to be that guy? He has everything needed to fit perfectly into this system. He can come deep pass the ball. His career has really hurt the national team after 2012 it’s really disappointing to see where he is.
Cutrone could do well. You would have to start Insigne and play him wide with the license to cut inside near the goal.
Incredible save by Donnarumma. If Mancio can get a striker on the field NOW we can possibly win this game
