Dave Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Would imagine Italy will get slaughtered by their media for this but it's been massively entertaining for a match they're involved in. Really enjoyed it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Spain absolutely destroyed Italy in 2012 when Italy played a 4 man defence. Confed Cup in 2013 and Euros last year Italy beat them with a back 3. I know Chiellini is out but Rugani is no mug to step in. Otherwise you have to have 3 in midfield against Spain if you've not got the extra CB. Playing 2 in there on their own and little help from the wide players is really insane. One of the worst team selections I've ever seen from any manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Surprised at the gulf in class here. Spain are clearly miles ahead in terms of midfield talent but it's been a dreadful performance. The one thing Italy have always been good at is setting up to negate other teams strengths and exaggerate their own. Conte managed that with a weaker Italy side last year. Now they've got Verratti instead of Parolo, Belotti instead of Pelle, Insigne instead of Giaccherini - and look far worse. No idea what Ventura is doing. They just extended his contract last month as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing with Wales is their squad pool is always so thin they regularly seem to include any promising teenager. Bale scored at 17. They had a 16 year old on the bench today as well.

Yes scored on his debut and broke Owen's record for youngest Liverpool scorer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
black_n_white Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Was at the Wales game last night, woodburn looked v.impressive in his 20 minute cameo. I think if they are good enough it doesn't matter how old they are which is why maybe we should give woodman a go in goal for nufc? Maybe keepers need that experience though? Anyway hopefully Wales can get 3 points in Moldova now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Village Idiot Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 So weird that the Spanish second division doesn't stop for international weeks. Some of those teams have plenty of internationals at this point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 So weird that the Spanish second division doesn't stop for international weeks. Some of those teams have plenty of internationals at this point. Think in England if you have a certain amount of players on international duty and you play in League 1 (and below I think) then you can request to postpone the match. Wigan didn't play their opponent this weekend which I assume might have something to do with internationals . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
