I thought Prandelli's biggest mistake of Euro 2012 (besides his horrid team selection and subbing against España) was he should've played Di Natale more. Balotelli had one great game (against an enigmatically poor German defence) and lots of question marks. Di Natale gives you consistent, reliable goal-scoring.
Oy! This is not highlights! This is only the goals, the vid doesn't tell us a s**t about the game. Can anyone please post a link with "extended highlights"?
Coates scored in best striker manner! I mean how, for gods sake, does he want to head that ball out with this move towards the net!?! And Jamie, my dear Jamie. He's a regisseur every team needs. I heard him scream all over the pitch in the Young Boys game. But his defending is far worse than it was once. They have to blame themselve, they totaly gave it away!
71% possession 21 shots, 16 on target to Udinese's 8 and 6 on target.
I remember a spell in the 1st half where we passed the ball around for 5 minutes straight without losing it. Our defence didn't show up 2nd half, and Udinese expoilted that.
@rosson3ri It is easy to talk like that because here you have got just the goal highlights, only a person who has watched the whole game can tell you how well liverpool played, and I can tell you that even though we lost the game, we played really well
Great match of football, both team played well and deserved to win the match but this is football !I am happy that an Italian won specially if is Udinese, they are doing well since four years, Di Natale is f*****g legend ! I hope he keep this trend for many years
Okay, so theres a lot to comment on. First off, Liverpool threw the game away in the second half, and that's that. However, Udinese played very well to capitalize, and this is football, afterall. Also, Liverpool's squad was fine. Honestly, in the first half, we had a younger less expensive team, and our first half was better. Di Natale is pure class. He held the ball well, and his put the ball in the back of the net when it counted. This being said, Liverpool played the second half with a "we're ahead in the Europ League" mentality. Coates and Carragher won't see much premeir league team because of mistakes like these
