@patty_b519 He doesn't pick young players. He prioritises workhorses over actual talent. 3-5-2 merchant, which we've seen isn't a successful way of playing at the top level. The Euro 2016 performances were largely very shit. The Spain second round game was excellent, the rest were rubbish

@DavidLSwan Why? What’s the objection with Conte? He had them respectable in the 2016 Euros

@buromomento Ruggeri isn't eligible for the U-21s. Cambiaso is rubbish, not good enough and one of the many examples why Italy aren't very good. He's not better than Ruggeri. Calafiori isn't really a left back. Not in the way Italy want to play, anyway. So it's just Dimarco and Udogie

@DavidLSwan In a generation lacking talent, LB and LWB are the only two positions where Italy has an abundance of good players. Di Marco, Calafiori, Cambiaso, Udogie just to name a few. Even Bartesaghi is ahead of Ruggeri in the U21 selection currently

@DavidLSwan No, there are serious talents. Highly illogical that Italy can’t produce them, this is a structural problem

Deluded. We haven't won the U-21 Euros since 2004. Haven't made the final since 2013. Three U-19 finals since 2008. Sounds great, right? England also have three, France have four, Portugal five, Spain seven (!!). Italy are not producing enough top players
Daniel Lucci@Lucci_AJC

Italy doesn’t have a talent problem, they have a development problem and I’ll tell you why. They always do decently well in the Youth tournaments. Where we see players like Kayode, Bartesaghi, Liberali, Fagioli, Hasa, Ricci, Casadei, and many others play well. 1/2

He's right but also.....Gattuso is a bad coach. He needs to go. Changing coach won't solve everything - as we've seen with Spalletti. Ultimately you need good players and Italy don't have them. But there's absolutely no chance of getting back to the top tier with a poor coach
Sky Sports News@SkySportsNews

"The problem with Italy is above Gattuso" 😬 Fabio Borini reflects on the position of Gennaro Gattuso following Italy's World Cup play off defeat and insists that there are 'major issues' within the Italian FA 🇮🇹

Gattuso è un allenatore mediocre, oggi ha sbagliato alcun cose, ma a mio avviso è l’ultimo dei colpevoli. Oggi non va sottovalutata la prova in 10 vs 11 per 90’ interi. Oggi in molti vogliono la sua testa, forse legittimamente, ma non ci sono troppe alternative valide in giro. La situazione è nera ahimè

Italy going through a terrible period. Just have to wait it out until some good players come through. There is not enough talent in the XI, let alone the squad, to avoid situations like a World Cup playoff against Bosnia

@sunday_coach No sensible Italian coach will take the job right now - there's only about 5 good players in the entire squad. Impossible to do anything with this set of players

Gattuso's Italy are much better in 4-4-2. Need to get rid of this back three and put another wide player on

Ruggeri should be getting called up. One of the few Italian players who is actually playing regular Champions League football. Otherwise it's about what you'd expect. I think Ricci is better than quite a lot of those midfielders and should also be in
Italian Football TV@IFTVofficial

Italy’s expected call-ups 🇮🇹 GK: Donnarumma, Vicario, Carnesecchi, Meret DEF: Bastoni, Calafiori, Mancini, Gatti, Buongiorno, Scalvini, Coppola WB: Dimarco, Spinazzola, Palestra, Politano, Cambiaso CM: Tonali, Locatelli, Pisilli, Barella, Frattesi, Cristante ST: Kean, Retegui, Scamacca, Esposito Possible additions: Raspadori, Orsolini/Maldini/Bernardeschi Thoughts? 👀 (via Sky)

The same Boniface who has now had to undergo yet another surgery on his right knee (I've lost count how many he's up to) after struggling with it up until December. Think I'll trust the Milan medical staff on this one, thank you
Theophilus@Nitwhite1

Not the first time Milan does this. They did the same with Boniface last summer, and this is just an excuse. They couldn't sell Gimenez, Boniface failed his medical. Now they couldn't offload Nkunku, Mateta fails his medical. The dirty way of doing business.
