100% agreement. Complaining about the refereeing, as bad as it was, is a complete smokescreen. No one needed a referee at the match yesterday to see who owned who. :lol: It's times like these that Vinman is on top of his game. Thanks for bringing up this point too. This is not the...

...not to mention how bad the defense was performing under Lippi's last season at the head of Juve. (Ranieri looks good by comparison.) Back in 2004, I wanted him to move along with dignity, but ASAP.

Trying to pretend it's 1996 again is foolish and full of denial about the changes to the team and the league since then. I love Lippi and all, but he's about the past. He very nearly guided the Italy NT to yet another disappointing loss in a big final yet again with his poor choices/planning...

In the front office, yes. As coach, please no.

I can't get too excited about the midfield when we're scoring 5 goals and giving up 6 in the past two matches.

There are times to complain. When your team showed up, gave their all, and lost an earned match with some sketchy ref calls is a good time to complain. This is not one of them.

Forza defense. :embarasse Let it be clear that the foolishness of our defensive acquisition strategy in last year's offseason is about as painfully obvious as it's going to get for Secco.

Knezevic has played all of something like 12 minutes this season? And given the loan fee, that comes out to be ... what? ... about 40,000€ per minute? He's starting to make Andrade look like a bargain.

Given that the press has it that Ranieri put his foot halfway up the ass of every player except the absent captain yesterday, things are looking up. :tup:

This is redemption, boys. You can't fault Ranieri for many of the mistakes made against Chievo, but I sure will if the team comes out disinterested in the outcome of this match. They're professionals. They need to play for pride if nothing else. Ariaudo! :weee:
