Not good enough Lippi and Italy

Confederations cup: Italy 0-1 Egypt

I would much rather see a ultra-defensive Italy with two killer-strikes, than a whole match with "almost" good enough shots on target. The Egypt keeper was good, but the shots could have been more clinical.
I still don't see what Lippi is trying to prove with players like Pepe (seen in match), Palombo and Pazzini in the squad, they are sadly not good enough, and as Gattuso, Pirlo and Toni proved today and the last two years included, they are severely fading stars, done.

Putting 3 strikers on the pitch, with two of them playing more as wings didn't work either, why not use two centre forwards, and a 4-3-1-2 formation (in lack of real Italian wings).
