Overall good campaign, but the game against France was pitiful. I agree and commented the same thing on the Italian Football Podcast, Vicario can’t play again. I feel bad bc I used to really like him and Meret, but they both gotta go. We are in trouble when Donnarumma doesn’t play and it doesn’t have to be that way. Too many good goalkeepers in Italy including DiGregorio, Perin, and Carnesecchi. All those guys should get calls over the other two. While Vicario has many strengths and is still a good goalkeeper overall, he’s not the second best in Italy and he has too many liabilities. I’ll admit there was a short period early last season where I questioned, albeit briefly, if Vicario merited a spot over Donnarumma bc at the time he was in better form at Tottenham than Donnarumma was at PSG. That said, since then, and esp at the Euros, I immediately retracted that thought. Edit: while I love Anto, his comment about you choosing Meret if you were a Napoli fan is him projecting his own biases as he would absolutely do that if Meret or Vicario played for Milan. Forget it, if either played for Milan they’d be the best goalkeeper in the world in his eyes 😂😂😂 Also, shout out to Cambiaso. What a professional!
@@vincedidiana5781 na he’s funny and brings so much to this podcast. Their podcast works largely bc they work well off each other and all being their unique POVs, even though Anto’s is almost always ridiculously biased 😂
@ He’s a clown because he can never give credit to the opposition. Never admitting he’s wrong. That’s the sign of massive immaturity and un intelligence. Just my opinion.
It's a combination of errors, Locatelli lost Rabiott twice for the same set-piece goal, it was poor marking - which is annoying that is an issue. We were sloppy and lacked creativity too. However, Vicario does not give me any confidence in the air or from set-peices, this is his weakness & the type of goal Spurs repeatedly concede. We've better options, Meret should have played v France.
Chiesa must play when healthy for sure. As for a 10, Maldini has to be played. Also rovella must start next game as well. Down the middle Italy, if we play a 11 system, Maldini has to be the 10. Just go to a normal 2 striker format in a 352/3412/3142 format
Tonali---Ricci---Barella is our midfield. Frattesi super sub. Do not use Barella or Pellegrini anymore at #10. Try Chiesa there when he is ready and watch us cook.
Rovella sub changed the game. I think he and Ricci will be fighting for that space. Rovella is a much better tackler (most in serie a), is always available in posession and doesn't do stupid things with the ball. Ricci is better in posession and tight spaces and moves the ball well. Depends on the matchup, but those two are NT locks imo. Correct on the tactics. IMO, Barella and Tonali are out and out starters in the MF. Frattesi is a good sub.
typical Italy... top of group the entire time til final game and lose by 2 goals to finish 2nd. going foward the defense needs to be seriously upgraded. back up keepers should be Provadel, Di Gregorio, Meret.
Biggest issue was the lack of rotation from Belgium game to the France game, which were just 3 days apart, and only the goalkeeper and Locatelli were the changes. France team was rotated a lot more therefore their starting 11 were much fresher. The lineup in general is fine (although would swap Barella to midfield and Frattesi to AM) just that the same players all played just 3 days before, simple as that. Also I think Orsolini should be considered as an impact sub at least, to be a second striker. He could provide some speed and finishing ability. Chiesa yes but he needs to get fit and prove it for his club first
I want to see Totti back as a number 10 , with Bruno Conti on the wing running like he did in ‘82. Back line of Baresi, Maldini, Scirea, Gentile. Throw in a few other legends and we will be invincible.
Also shout-out for the free shipping. Coz yeah even Canada shipping used to be wild 😭😭😭 used to basically double the price on some products. But yeah it was very much worth it coz to this day the hoodie i wear the most in my collection is that cream calcio hoodie. Looking forward to getting my hands on the white jacket.

The problem is Spalletti. His love affair with DiLorenzo, ongoing. Starting another useless player like Locatelli all game is typical Spalletti incompetence. Only makes changes with the third goal was scored. 3-5-1-1 is a disastrous formation. Chage it up in the second half Coach Stubborn!!
I agree, the 352 worked just fine, I don’t understand why he decided on a 11 system. I get he wants to control the midfield but he’s sacrificing goal scoring ability. And why start locatelli and vicario against France…. This isn’t a middle level country. Play the best players
@@astanco1574 Di Lorenzo has to play bc scalvini, calafiori and gabbia are injured. Locatelli was a problem. He was late to everything and simply just a body in the middle. He provided nothing.
Hi guys, do you by chance know anywhere in Chicago where Milan fans gather? I live near the city and want to go somewhere and spectate the game this weekend with other fans ❤🖤
Italy blew it against France. 🇫🇷 came out strong and fast and Italy stood there like idiots. Was so disappointed with that game how did they manage to lose the number one spot is beyond me. However this is typical Italy closing opportunities and making life super difficult for themselves

Nice to see Mike sitting next to his idolo again. You can tell he really admires his hero Antonio aka the King of Bari🤴
I’m open minded…but Locatelli and Cristante in this squad moving forward just doesn’t make sense to me.
I feel like Spaletti is trying new things with Barella but barella is better in the mid and not in the front, barella is better as a regista
I think it was definitely a one-off game and we will be just fine
Anto looks like he's wearing Inter away jersey from 2 years ago.
Looking good Anto next time try black and blue one. You'll love it

Meret isnt good either. Hes given up weak long distance goals in last 2 games.
Udogie is really good going forward, bit harsh guys, Kean is also good!

wtf
Maldini is only on roster cuz of his name. we need a 100% fit Chiesa.
@ clearly you haven’t been watching him at Monza. He clearly has the skills and power to play
Tonali---Ricci---Barella is our midfield. Frattesi super sub. Do not use Barella or Pellegrini anymore at #10. Try Chiesa there when he is ready and watch us cook.
i want 4 men back line

its a Vicario problem Tottenham get scored on from set pieces because he doesn't claim ariel balls. Keep Donna in and we will be fine
well we also had that issue against Belgium in our first draw... I would probably demote Vicario to third position, we have better second goalies.

Cambiaso is better than dimarco, more versatile and can play on both sides and play in a back 4. Dimarco is lost out of that wingback role
B. S every word of that comment
Delusional statement
@@shaunc4786howd he do in a back 4 at the euro
Not only am I gonna say Cassano, but I’m gonna wear a Cassano jersey. Ask Anto what I get for that 😂😂😂

Mike and his idolo are FINALLY reunited

Vicario is an amazing goalkeeper. Marco you should watch a bit more PL.
Roma could get top 5, 12 points difference in November !
You can do it
We need Paolo Maldini.
I swear these guys ask for Mike's opinion just to come at him for his opinions 😂
The fact that Belgium lost to Israel now i give less credit to italy

Forza IFTV ❤
Leave tonali in the middle. Take out barella.. and I like barella. Do not play gnonto or kean
are those jackets for sell you two are wearing?
Will be December 6th or 13th. Still deciding
Roma has no chance to get 6th. 6th is reserved for Milan.
