Getafe are a physical side that play 90 minutes to a specific game plan, so this statement is probably correct.

There is an utter lack of leadership and discipline in this squad. The former is not fixable this season, the latter requires capable coaching staff in the absence of leaders in the squad. There is no clear game plan either which added to the lack of discipline means that players are moving...

First time in 20 years of watching Juventus that I’ve actually turned the tv off. Brainless bunch of tools without a leader.

I’m not advocating another change and I hope it doesn’t happen and he’s given a proper chance. However, I can see the pressure building later in the season forcing a panic change.

I’ll be amazed if Pirlo stays the course of the season. The shortfalls of an inexperienced squad with a high number of players not match fit and no preseason won’t mask the lack of tactical knowledge all year and the learning curve is just too steep in my opinion.

We’ve gone from an astute operating team in the market to looking like a bunch of amateurs, pissing money away that we don’t have in about a 7 year span.

Whilst Pirlo can be forgiven for making mistakes with tactics and starting line ups at the start of his coaching career, he needs to learn to react quicker in rectifying them. Whether it’s stubbornness in admission or not being able to spot it, time will tell.

Bad enough to be getting outplayed, but you can’t concede a goal on the counter like that. Surprising given the number of experienced players on the field.

Think a specialist LWB looks more of a priority if we are sticking with a 3-5-2/3-4–2-1. Particularly with Chiellini the only option as the LCB due to Demiral looking awkward there, Bonucci needing to be the sweeper and De Ligt struggling as the LCB in a back 4 last season. Could give the the...

The most amazing thing is that he hasn’t actually turned his back to the ball.

So glad to see no De Shitlio in the starting line up.

Can’t argue with selecting a low cost option bringing in a young midfielder with something to prove as opposed to our recent strategy of bringing in overhyped, older players on big wages who feel like they’ve already made it and are rarely ever match fit. Seems a sensible approach.

Arsenal once bought Kallstrom who couldn’t play until about another 4-5 months, try them?

Swap for Zinchenko and £20 million. Sandro valued at £70million, Zinchenko valued at £50million. Dat dere accounting.

Me too. I recall people burning seats in the top tier above me. The only chance I recall was when a long ball was pumped up to Ibrahimovic who knocked it down to nedved to strike from long range, nothing else.

Whilst the purchase of Higuain is a shitshow financially, it did cripple Napoli mentally and ensure they would not be able to continue challenging our domestic dominance. Whether that may have been a good or bad thing is certainly up for question however.

No there isn’t sadly. I have the same issue with that shirt with the name and numbering completely worn.

I was really enjoying the management saga happening today. Shame it lasted less than one of the many ‘blackouts’ we had this season.

It’s odd that we’ve comfortable moved away from the obsession with buying Italian players (I hope it continues) because we’ve accepted there is a dearth or talented Italians, yet we can’t do the same with coaches when you could say the same principle may apply here?

Anyone else feel that this management saga today is more interesting and entertaining than anything we produced on the field all season combined?
