Andrea Pirlo (101 Viewers)

[Vlad]

What the hell is this guy talking about. He used the 'safe' way and choosed for experience with Ramsey and Berna, ignoring the youth players.

Instead of using Chiesa as wingback we had enough option with Di Pardo, Dragusin and Frabotta to try something else.

He prolly meant Chiesa as a young player, never mind this guy being an established Serie A player for several years. Would explain the sub then . Also Demiral and MDL would fit the bracket by his standards.

The worst thing here is that Prilo throws them under the bus while this shit is totally on HIM.

I mean, Demiral as a fullback and AS as CB? Even Sarri wouldn't have had come up with shit like this!

IMO Pirlo fucked up because he kept sticking to the 3 man backline, instead of adding someone else in there as RB. Chiesa was already super tired, that's why you need to put someone there. That way Demiral still plays as CB and Chiesa can remain on the pitch until the end of the game.

We all know Agnelli won't fire him now though. He'll lose the locker room soon enough tho, just like Sarri did.

Yeah instead of protecting them, he’s using them as a excuse.

Meanwhile the more experienced players like Berna, Sandro, Ramsey, Bentancur had a Serie C level game.

He did everything he could in his setup to make it possible to not field any U23 player and afterwards he blames the youngsters. What a hypocrite

I don’t want to unnecessary hype some U23 kids, but with a Rabiot/Bentancur duo, Ramsey as AM, Berna as LWB, Demiral as RB everyone knows that it won’t work.

There are a lot of details young coaches don't seem to understand too.

 

[Paid-off-Ref]

So again no rumours of his demise.

What does it take? If Agnelli is waiting for the game against Porto he should know that we have a far better chance of advancing with players trying to prove themselves to a new coach.

He doesn’t understand what he’s even talking about anymore, he talks such nonsense. Maybe he spent the match asleep on the sideline (it certainly seemed that way), it was actually our older, established and experienced players who let us down.

Ramsey, Bernadeschi and Ronaldo were the worst players on the pitch. Followed by Rabiot and Bentancur. Sandro was also poor be it out of position.

Sarri? Is it you?

He's getting embarrassing off the pitch too now.

Yeah, let him learn his trade in division 2.

 

[CrimsonianKing]

We can all ask for his head but it’s not happening. He staying.

Maybe if we lose to Porto...

 

[Vlad]

I feel not even then... CL places are objective which is shameful but as long as we qualify, he stays for another year.

Great. He really deserves another try with the improvement we see under him week after week.

He doesnt, I know just a perfect candidate to replace him , but have a feeling hes here for min 2 seasons.

I think he`ll see out the season unless we lose the next few including Porto and Lazio.

Agnelli doesn't like to fire mid season and Pirlo is his friend.

Who knows what state we`ll be in by then and whether if we get to the summer we'll just write this season off and give him another one.

He better see past the whole friendship thing. This is a business but I’m sure he knows that.

Doubt he'll lose the locker room.

Some players look like they're very happy with this casual and lethargic football. Really starting to wonder now how much work goes into training. I do recall some players being unhappy with how Allegri or Conte drills their players in training.

Also he's got his Italian butt buddies who'll probably do anything to protect him.

If Allegri was in this position in the league and CL, Gazzetta, Tuttosport and the likes would have already spammed the newspapers with sack rumours. Just goes to show how protected he is.

 

[Gigiventus]

Pirlo may understand football but what is becoming clearly obvious is that he has no grasp of man management.

can anyone seriously name a player that has improved under his leadership, Danilo aside?

Danilo, Chiesa, Cuadrado, and McKennie?

 

[kappa96]

What a horrible tactical display!

We didn’t had a midfield at all, none of our midfielders were in the position they supposed to be when we had possession.

There’s just a huge gap between our defense and attack when we start the build up. It’s always the same, Ramsey/McKennie are supposed to join the attack which make us losing one of the 3 midfielders. Bentancur stays behind and the third one, I didn’t even know where the hell Rabiot was, my screen was to small to see him hiding somewhere.

I was very much pro-Pirlo, understanding the problems we faced during the start and I had patience, but this are unforgivable mistakes, he didn’t had a clue what he was doing.

Im also really annoyed that he’s so fake in his ideas to implement the youngsters. I’m quite sure that Correia and Fagioli would’ve done a lot better compared to Bernardeschi an Ramsey. What a awful, awful players that are. Should never wear our jersey again.

And why the hell is this guy against a 433 ffs.

In order to save the season Agnelli should intervene and find something else. The 4th place is at risk

He literally said he "invented" Sandro as a cb , the guy who literally got out jumped on their goal.
I wonder what his next "invention" is going to be . Danilo as an AM doesn't sound so bad . If kulu can play SS(which obviously, can't ), then it's not such a bad idea in pirlo's world.

Of course the papers like it.
We are losing so that is a good thing for most of them. Our rivals probably pray that pirlo stays for eternity.

can anyone seriously name a player that has improved under his leadership, Danilo aside? The players play with no passion, our midfield is serie c level in its output, none of those players have improved under pirlo and that was the position he mastered!! Rabiot is terrible, Bentancur after looking decent under Sarri has regressed into a Sunday league player, Ramsey is just useless. Even McKennie seems to be hideously inconsistent and his energy isn’t making up for his technical failings...

Pirlo’s lack of passion on the sideline is the biggest concern though, it transmits to the players. Look at Conte and Allegri - they kept the players focussed and motivated when the fatigue kicked in. Pirlo stands there like a statue and he doesn’t influence the game at all after kick off. Yesterday he blames fatigue - if the players are fatigued why are you only using 2 of your 5 subs??? Both in the last 20 minutes - Di pardo wasn’t even on long enough to get a touch!!

Verona looked so much fresher - they used all 5 subs, the first at half time!! This isn’t a fucking coincidence. Why did Dragusin not come on to add a 3rd proper defender after we scored the opener?? Why did Fagioli not come on for one of the 3 central midfield idiots?? Why did bernadeschi get 90 minutes? The guy has gone 9000 minutes without contributing, what makes pirlo think he’s going to be anything other than his normal useless self?? Well he was playing in his ‘natural position’ - that’s great, but he is naturally shit

Pirlo completely out of his depth and he has no business as our manager. I gave him a chance after he looked like the ship steadied in January but I’ve seen enough of him now to realise that was just good fortune. He is allowing players to get away with a lack of passion and effort. That’s unforgivable from a manager

All game i could hear Juric barking instructions.

Pirlo doesn't do barking. Also pirlo not impressed.

 

[alexjuventino]

Pirlo thinks he invented the wheel at this rate. He's just copying other tacticans ideas and just not making them work at all. Sandro moving into like a cdm role during the game was laughable. This guy is a shitty version of conte. I can't wait for him to have a full preseason and a "mercato" he wants.
