I said it: we need to play with wingers (or wide midfielders, or whatever, simply have someone helping to cover the wings). Three DMs alone cannot protect a weak defense, three players simply cannot cover the whole width of the pitch. And we don't have a fullback like Maicon, who can dominate a...

Will it?

We don't really have problems with DMs. Basically any two of the four (Marchisio, Sissoko, Melo, Poulsen) can play together. Playing three of them means Diego has to attack basically by himself, and that is very easy to defend against. Our problems are: weak fullbacks and no players that...

And Grosso :agree: Zebina was our best defender out there against Fulham. Yes, he probably could have played better, but still, if anyone else deserves the bashing, it's everyone else. I, for one, think that him, Diego and Trez (albeit, Trez was his usual self, recieving the ball once in the...

It could also be 10. Yes, on the pitch, it seemed Ciro was the worst, I'll give you that. But, the mere fact that players are bitching about their former manager indicates, at least to me, that there is something very different in the dressing room, as our players haven't done that thing for...

I love how in one sentence you point out that we know very little about what has happened, only to pass a judgement in the following one. I myself restrain from judging Ciro, we have very little idea about what has been happening at the club and most of us are still disgusted by this season...

We're talking 4-4-2 with Candreva and De Ceglie as our wingers, which will introduce Grosso back to the starting line up.

Zebina for Diego is equally as retarted. Paolucci for Del Piero also raised some eyebrows.

You have to give him that point. It's not Del Piero's fault, the problem is, the only way to play both him and Diego is the 4-3-1-2, which doesn't suit the rest of the team. Del Piero has been great, but the rest of the team isn't up to it. On the other hand, the 4-2-3-1 seemed to suit our...

I see how you might see it be childish, though I didn't mean it that way. What I meant is, that this match further supports the point that was made a week ago, and that it might add something to the current discussion. But yeah, maybe I should have been easier on the sarcasm. Palermo isn't the...

Well, for me, he's the only reason why we actually have those three wins under Zac. That's the problem with the team, that I was pointing out last week, if Del Piero isn't performing, we won't win.

Let's hope they get into their NTs, play well at the WC so that we can sell them and buy proper players.

Last week, I and Andy were given shit for saying that our wins were more of Del Piero's doing, rather than Zac's doing. Surprise, surprise, Del Piero didn't play well today and we lost. Still, I won't bash Zac, because I still think it's due to the simple fact that our team is just not good...

And yet Inter are leading Serie A with it and also beat Chelsea with it. A formation isn't good or bad, each one has its pros and cons.

I think it's a 4 men defence with defensive RB/offensive LB combo. Grygera almost always stays back, and when PDC makes his run forward, we have three at the back, with Chiellini going slightly left. And the right CM has the duty to attack on the right flank.

Once again, I never said I want us to play attractive football, I want us to put in good performances. I, for one, do not think that good football and attractive football are the same. But anyway, I see how I could have been misunderstood, hopefully now my opinion is clearer.

I never said we should play champagne football. We can play catenaccio for all I care. But whatever it is we play, I want us to play it well: if we want to attack, I want us to dominate the game, if we want to defend, I want us to not give the opposition a chance to score, it's that simple...

Oh god, you don't really mean that, do you. What do you propose, that because we defeated Ajax despite being the worse team, we should play as bad as possible, because it's actually the worse team that wins matches?

I omitted them intentionally. We were lucky against both Ajax and Genoa. But they are good teams, and I don't expect Zac to produce miracles. I don't think any coach in the world could reorganize us in such short time to make us outplay those two. I care, because good performances tend to...

We criticize him because of this: and because that is what has happened in all the games under Zac. Not once were we the better them (and we played the likes of Lazio, Livorno and Bologna), we just managed to end up with points, rather than without them. And honestly, if with him as a coach...
