Time To Axe Veterans? 🛑 | Drop Di Lorenzo & Dimarco? 🤬

🛑 TIME TO AXE THE VETERANS?
Nima Tavallaey and Carlo Garganese lock horns in a massive tactical debate following the international fixtures against Turkey and Belgium, questioning which established Italy stars must be ruthlessly dropped from the squad to protect the future of the Azzurri layout!

The guys dive straight into why Giovanni Di Lorenzo MUST be permanently dropped from the starting XI.
They break down why Bryan Cristante and Gianluca Mancini only seem to look functional within Gian Piero Gasperini's tactical system at AS Roma, and ask a massive question: should Federico Dimarco be axed from the squad completely if he simply does not suit a back-four layout?

Plus, they tackle the midfield engine room to debate if Nicolò Barella should be benched, analyze the ongoing Gianluca Scamacca conundrum, and figure out Moise Kean's absolute best position on the pitch.

Finally, they look at how a dynamic pairing of Giacomo Raspadori and Kean could completely solve the manager's winger crisis moving forward!

Let us know in the comments below: Who is the first player you would axe from this squad? Drop your takes!
