Yeah, him, Pjanic and Nainggolan where major disappointments and Ashley will be probably offloaded in January as he is having difficulties adapting with team.
Talent is there (maybe not so much in defence department), but it is surely down to manager to make Italy look sooo avarage. I really can't remember any cup where Italy looked this horrible in three games in a row.
I mean why not every team use this magic strategy? Get above avarage striker, build team around him and you at least win a league! Maybe not CL, but teams like 'pool etc. would be happy with league title you know :lol:
