We can muster a decent starting XI but the squad depth is dreadful.
0-0

It's a tough game in a gloriously hostile environment. Three lions on a shirt etc.

Good odds on England if you are a betting man They’ve come in a bit now but I got almost 2/1 on them last week

I can only remember us beating Italy once in a meaningful game. And that wasn't meaningful really because it was clear we weren't going to qualify and they were.
A draw would be very healthy. Not that I can see us getting it though unfortunately 🙄

The only fun we had that season.

The bogiest of all bogey teams. Anyone believing Mancini's kidology - well, I'm the pope, Michael Jackson and Boris Johnson! 1-0 Italy, nothing new to see.

They're awful in qualifying, we're brilliant.

Actually quite looking forward to the game. A bone fide qualifier away against the toughest of opposition. I think we’ll be up for it and as RedandWhite alluded to, they’re a pretty poor qualifying side historically, 3 points incoming

We always seem to struggle against Italy. Have we ever beaten them in competitive football in recent times? I can’t think of a time when we have.
