why doesn't huntelaar start and play van persie off him/on the wing? would that solve any of their problems?
From what I've heard via interwebz and pundits, that hasn't really been an effective combination when tried. It also wouldn't solve what has probably been their biggest problem in attack, which is a lack of width. Van Persie likes to drift into the middle to link up with people and Robben almost always cuts in as well (usually to shoot over the bar) so I don't know where the balls into the box for Huntelaar would come from. Van der Wiel likely won't be helping out too much in attack either because of his defensive matchup against Ronaldo.
Also, I don't think Willems was as bad as people have been saying; he was just afraid to go forward, as he probably should have been against Germany.
not really and italy fan myself (lets go poland!!) but how does balotelli get the start over di natalie? and how come alessandro matri didnt get the call? too many juventus players? he was hurt a bit last season... but im just saying, he would have been a clear choice over mario for me any day...
Matri had a pretty weak season for Juventus - only ten goals and barely got any starts in the last 15-20 games. Di Natale would be my choice but he has severe knee problems to the point where he doesn't even train with the rest of the Udinese squad most of the time. If Guiseppe Rossi hadn't gotten injured this wouldn't be a problem, but as it is, Ballotelli is the only big, strong front man they've got. I'd like to see them mix it up a bit by playing Giovinco more but I doubt it'll happen.
