The Azzurri Thread

[Xifio]

excellent work from Prandelli ... I liked the combinations with which he mixed the lineup ... Destro was unlucky not to be on the scoresheet; I thought he was excellent ... captain De Rossi was as commanding as ever, and the midfield with him, Verratti, and Poli actually looked quite good ...

oh, and I think Diego Fabbrini was brought simply because his hairstyle is so retro, Puma needed no better advert for the commemorative 1982 shirt ...

Also, agree about Destro, good player he was impressive - only saw exte ded highlights however

 

[Xifio]

I like El Shaarawy, he's fresh air for Milan and Azzurra in a nearly future.

El Shaarawy-Balotelli-Cassano up front ... Verratti in midfield ... do it Prandelli!

 

[Arnau]

I think Balotelli is only useful for NT, short tournaments with a lot emotional element

 

[Mus]

Verratti alongside Pirlo, do it Cesare!

 

[Arnau]

Montolivo is ****, i'd liked to see Verratti trequartista

Agreed. Monty is just a personal favorite of Prandelli after Fiorentina..Highly overrated

Mkhytarian: 14 goals in 11 league games, 2 in Champions league and goal against Italy today. Shakthar playera are gold

20 wins in a row in Ukranian league already...

 

[Mus]

Mkhitaryan has also equalled last season top scorer in the league

 

[Arnau]

El Shaarawy > Balotelli

 

[Mus]

Osvaldo > El Shaarawy

 

[Arnau]

I love Osvaldo, but el sharaawy's top is higher than Osvaldo's.

 

[Mus]

I think Osvaldo should be way further down, below SES, Balotelli, Cassano and if he survives Rossi

 

[Mandieta6]

it is time for Cesare to show his ingeniuty ... Super Mario as a regista will change 'why always me?' ... to 'why! always me!' ...

 

[Deisler]

Leave it to schiffio to make things more complicated.

 

[Xifio]

so, that's Bianconeri at the back, Rossoneri up top, and a legend for both controlling the middle ... chemistry!

 

[Mus]

I like it, but I hope the inclusion of Monty was just framing rather than purposeful

 

[Xifio]

hah, yes, just didn't bother cropping him out ...
