They played well, even against Switzerland, but they failed to capitalize their chances.Football is weird. Italy looked so good at the Euros.

That is great banter
Lukaku isn't playing as well at Abraham did last year if you look at a mins to goal ratio, which is pretty much all you can do with Lukaku.
I didn't realise that. I was skeptical that Lukaku would live up to the hype because of watching him for United but this has been a disaster for him and Chelsea.
Lukaku is just an incredibly limited player who is statistically proficient. He is probably the best example in football of how stats should never be used in isolation to determine a players quality.
In the 2018 WCQ playoff against Sweden Italy failed to score in two matches. I think they may have also drawn Madedonia at home in the group stage.They played well, even against Switzerland, but they failed to capitalize their chances.
In that Qualification they actually were having difficulties to create overall chances. Now they actually create a lot but fail to score. Gone are the days that even the Italian NT reserve strikers were clinical.In the 2018 WCQ playoff against Sweden Italy failed to score in two matches.
