Yeah, he was atrocious those few times he played this season. I wouldn't surprise me if he ends up doing well for Fiorentina though. I could still see him doing well in a functioning team. He's not & most probably never will be good enough to be(come) an undisputed starter for a team like Juve...

Reminds me of the time the opposite happened to me. :shifty:

We started the season with 4 players capable of playing CB. One of those 4 being a late panic signing, but ok. And those 4 include Danilo, who apparently wasn't supposed to be part of the squad anyway. So, 3 players essentially. You don't need to be a genius to realise that's going to be a...

I wonder if what we're seeing right now is the beginning of an eventual collapse. The next month is going to be very "interesting". If we don't pick up a few wins immediately, I wouldn't be surprised to see Roma ahead of us by early March.

That's only fair. They didn't participate in the game either.

That's debatable. The entire midfield & defence was (unsurprisingly) completely out of shape at that moment. (Good play by Benfica though.)

A bit weird to single him out after last night's game. Considering most of the team played (a lot) worse.

- Benfica need a draw to secure a top 24 place. - Playing for a draw is what we're great at. - We've got nothing to play for anyway. I wonder how this game is going to turn out. :think:

Damn, imagine being sent back to unknown.

You're underestimating him. Because he has shown he can do all those things, without breaking a sweat. No worries though, this season doesn't count. Next season will be his first real season in charge. On a more serious note: I'm starting to believe that it's going to take longer to recover...

It sounds reliable & that in itself is bad enough.

Fun fact: he had just signed a contract with a second division team over here a week ago. And scored an "olympic" goal 2 days ago in his first appearance.

In the 4-2-3-1 formation Motta is apparently hell-bent on playing, those 3 players behind the striker could consist of Koopmeiners, Yildiz, Conceicao, Gonzalez, Mbangula, Weah, McKennie, Kolo Muani (?), Adzic (?) and even Cambiaso played there earlier in the season. Considering the gaping holes...

As far as I'm concerned, this is not a valid excuse for the absolutely terrible 2nd half against Napoli but Motta is definitely allowed to bring it up. We probably have the smallest squad of the entire league while we have to play more games than most other teams. And to make matters worse...

I'd prefer we rescind his contract.

Went full retard there. Unbelievable. But, I have to ask: why was he in that position at that moment?

Well, this has been a long time coming. Very long. Pretty even first half where we had the better chances, so not an undeserved lead at the break. But we were completely outplayed in the second half. Di Gregorio, Kalulu & Gatti held their own (and Savona & Mbangula were ok as well), but the...

I hope you're right, because that would mean things can only improve.
