Yes, Toni and Gila worked really great together during the WC qualifiers !! I don't understand neither why Donadoni doesn't use the same formula, it was really effective !!!
I hope they'll play together again soon !!!!!
The azzuri played well yesterday, I hope they'll do the same Wednesday ! And I hope Pippo will be able to play a bit longer next time !! Great goal by Toni !!
Too bad Gila wasn't playing with him... next time I hope !!
Yep again, the Italy attack last night was not working well imo, Del Piero was non existent, he had a few good touches in the beginning of the match, but got really tired as it went on, Iaquinta should not even be their let alone get the start.
If Donadoni wanted to play a trident attack, then he should have either called up Gila and Cassano and played
---Gila--Toni
----------------Cassano
upfront woth cassano a bit withdrawn or if he still insisted on calling up the same players then I would go for
----------Toni----------
Del Piero-----Di Michele
With Del Piero and Di Michele a bit withdrawn to help link the attack up with the midfield but not in a xmas tree formation
And yes Italy didn't conceed last night but where lucky that Buffon was having a good night, Nesta should have definately gotten the nod before Matrix, he is in great form at the moment, and Canna isn't so we need that someone that can leed the defensive line, and Nesta is the one that can do it well.
Just want to add, if we are going to try and go after any Ukrainian in the January transfer window, then Kalinichenko (is that how you spell it??) would be the one I would go after, he didn't play much last night cause he came on as a sub in the 2nd half, but man he is really talented, both his free-kicks made Buffon make a great save and he got into the game really quickly and made a graet impact, you could see what effect he had on Ukraine's midfield once he came on
