Really don't understand the negative posts on here. Typical Italian set up for me tonight. Defend,defend, defend,then hit you on the break. The whole structure of their game is based on this,even at international level.
If you are gonna commit players forward as we did tonight you are gonna get sucked in.The first goal was our fault pure and simple, who was on the near post?
After the second goal they opened us up a couple of times and when we attacked they had eleven behind the ball.
Can't really see leaving the blame at the full backs,wouldn't have a made a difference. Pace is very hard to defend. One goal conceded by Napoli in over 12 hours of Euro football, surely that says something.
