Andrea Pirlo (83 Viewers)

[JuelzSantana]

I respectfully disagree. He froze out Khedira without a second thought, something Allegri and Sarri refused to do.
He's also openly criticized specific players after a poor performance, which is not something a nice guy would do.
Since you mentioned Pep and Klopp (not that I think Pirlo is on their level), even they took a season or two to get their ideas across to their players at Man City and Liverpool, so I definitely don't expect a rookie coach like Pirlo to do it a few games without a preseason.

Overall, his man management hasn't been an issue imo. The issues I have with Pirlo lie mainly with our defensive solidity. Our patterns of play seem fine to me.

Fair point that Klopp and them took some time to gel their teams. Also that he hasn’t had a pre-season.

But I can only judge from what I’ve seen, and not what I hope to see in the future. We’ve really just played one impressive game, the opener against Sampdoria. I feel his in-game management has been questionable, especially in the league. I’ll give him a pass on some of the weird team selections as he’s had to experiment.

He’s not had the impact on our midfielders as I expected, nor Dybala. Personally I haven’t seen these major improvements. Bonucci is shaky as usual and has a free pass in the team when healthy. Offensively we’re still overreliant on CR.

But it’s still early and for sure I hope he proves me wrong.

That is obviously a decision from the management...

So you are trying to say Pirlo has no authority? Sure.

I was not trying to say that at all. I was trying to say exactly what I said... Nothing more, nothing less.

 

[Ventus]

Even if we end up winning, enough is enough. Please bring back Allegri.

 

[Arcticdaly]

He makes P.E teacher ole look amazing.

 

[Paid-off-Ref]

Time to move on. This was such a bad idea.

 

[radekas]

sack him before it's too late

 

[X Æ A-12]

Morata's goals just delaying the inevitable

 

[Paid-off-Ref]

We'd be in the middle of the table after this round had we not been given 3 points against Napoli.

 

[Gian]

Close the door on your way out.

I see the possibility of him getting sacked before the end of the season, but the fact that he was appointed by Angelli the possibility is not that big.

I don't put blame on Pirlo for this obvious mess.

 

[Badass J Elkann]

disgusting

 

[DAiDEViL]

Strada.

 

[radekas]

whoever is responsible for hiring someone without a licence should be lynched

 

[Boksic]

Time is up.

Was an idiotic appointment in the first place.

 

[Xperd]

This club desperately needs a coach and a very good one at that.

....

 

[Snobist]

Pirlo should focus on winery and leave coaching to professionals. He is just an intern and he is a bad intern. Every game he tries something new and it fails.

Another failure. Great

 

[K.O.]

Still undefeated in Serie A.

Seriously though, Pirlo is a charity match typa head coach. His players look like they really are having fun while our opponents fight for every ball.

 

[Juvellino]

Sack Pirlo and give Allegri a call. We are a team in crisis at the moment.
