Gattuso taught Italy to attack, but have they forgotten how to defend?

First, some context to Italy 's first two games under new boss Gennaro Gattuso.

On Friday, after failing to break the deadlock for nearly an hour, they beat Estonia 5-0 , recording an xG of 4.74 and attempting 40 shots on goal. You can never say for certain, because stats only go back a couple of decades, but if anyone can prove to me that isn't a record, I'll buy them a steak dinner.

On Monday, away to Israel, Italy conceded twice in the final three minutes of regulation before scoring in injury time to win 5-4 . They also put the ball in their own net twice along the way. It was the first time ever they conceded four goals in men's World Cup qualifying, and the first time they had conceded two own goals in half a century .

"We're a bunch of crazies; we concede absurd goals!"
