We played in only one competition in the second half of the season and all the main players besides Quag saw plenty of time. Melo, Aquilani, Krasic, Chiellini, and even Buffon returned. How can you say squad depth is the problem? Even the main players were off form and as a team we were terrible.
The defense was disorganized, DN didn't get the best out of his players, his subs are 99% of the time idiotic, so he shoulders a lot of the blame. Period.
Saying the problem is squad depth is completely wrong. We have enough squad players, it's the quality and mentality of the team that's the problem, which is related to DN.
enough dept ? no strikers mid december, and no understudy for aqua or melo. aqua played like double his previous record games in a season
we failed because we ran out of strikers and the management refused to give marotta a budged to buy a decent one in januari
we failed because our board didnt allowed marotta the budged in januari to get 2 new fullbacks, wich would have solved much
we failed because when the team was in decline, it was clear that there was no one with leadership and personality under the players to change this
The ones who had that were nedved and zanetti
buffon and del piero were mostly abscent
check what milan did, what inter did last year
both had early struggles, and fixed their team in januari, wich succes
Instead of wining popularity by making the fans fap on the likes of aguero trough rumours, they should allow marotta a fair budged, to fix the problems
