I mean playing 10 men with 70+ minutes left was never going to be easy. Could have kept Ramsey but nothing was going to turn this shit around. Especially with ref just not willing to give us anything. If you want to criticize Pirlo overall then sure, but not because of this game.

Oh in that way I agree. As I said in the edit of my comment, I think its time to look for a coach abroad.
Maybe that'll give us better results now sure, but in my opinion it is obvious that our transfer strategy has been flawed for a few years now. No matter who you bring in, if you don't fix the core issue then you're only bandaging over them.

this was a healthy loss.

not for pirlo, or the team. those guys are hopeless, but agnelli to get a midfielder in winter market.
I hope

You cant bring in a non-Italian coach mid season, puts the 10th Scudetto in great danger.

We have 5 more Serie A games until Christmas and, excluding the Napoli game, so far we've picked up 1.75 ppg, meaning we're on pace for a 67 point season. If in these 5 games we again pick up 9 points out of 15 available, just ask Allegri to come back and sort things out.
Since that Benevento draw we picked up 10 points out of 15. Yet we did have a miraculous finish to CL group stage. I think Pirlo's done enough to save his job and its probably until end of season as you either give the new coach the Christmas break or dont change at all.

But we're probably losing the Scudetto. We had a hard battle with Milan in 11/12, we had a horrible start in 15/16 and Napoli had a hell of a season in 17/18, but this time we actually might end up not finishing first. Hopefully its for a big and bright future.

His substitutions are complete chaos. A man down and looking for a goal he removes our centre forward and puts on a shit and thoroughly unproductive winger.

Then he subs out our energetic midfielder and replaces him with Kulusevski. Now we have 3 wingers, 1 CM and 1 wide forward on the pitch. Is it any surprise our play is unbalanced?

For fuck sake Pirlo - cut the fucking crap and start playing the players in their correct fucking positions. Square peg, round fucking hole

Every match he makes a bizarre choice, whether in the starting lineup or as a sub.

But what I really don't like and what is the main reason we aren't winning anything this year is how open we are. Pirlo seems intent on sticking with this crazy system and I don't see how it can tighten up. You need to build from a solid base and we don't have one, in fact the spine of the team is the biggest weakness.

What do you expect from a rookie coach Agnelli is entirely responsible for this

and why the needless rotation?

chiesa scores a great goal vs atalanta. looks confident. what does he do? bench him next game.

kulu scores vs parma? what does he do? bench him next game.

how do you expect these kids to play consistently and build confidence when they are benched every second game? i dont buy the tiredness as excuse. chiesa is 23 and kul is 20. these guys should have stamina to play 3 full games in a week no problem.

Many things are based on appearance, its on the players contracts, that why our season is wasted before it even starts if the planning fails.
Our club is managed by player managers, they get to decide whom we sign and how much he plays, regardless of their form and performances...
Sick situation that reflects on our current state...
