Once again CR proved he is clueless!!
Every single time he fields super defensive teams and he let our defense exposed against such a pacey team.
I have seen Bate before a couple of years ago and if i remember one thing for them its their pace and the football they just displayed today.
In this game, more than any other time, we have to suffocate their center and do not allow them to make those runs, we should not give them so many space to use their speed.
CR was in ignorance of their speed and declared surprised of it,
he is clueless anyway, but i was surprised of Bate's technical skills!!
They were def not that good ever before, this is probably the strongest BATE ever, their pace, skill, TEAMWORK and determination, got the better of us, we were outplayed and this was evident from the first 5'
It is not a surprise for me however, for years and years i am pointing out our weak spots and time has come to pay for them, we are worthy of our fate, because we did nothing to fix them!!
When CR arrived, he took a new team on his hand, a puzzle of players, he should turn into a team, but after all these months, we dont look like a team as of yet, there is no tactical plan, no clear roles, no efficiency, nothing that could sign this team has a coach. We are expecting from our players to provide some individual brilliance at each and every game...
For a various of reasons though, our helm fails to motivate them enough
and since the old guard lost, the post serie b/calciopoli wrath,
we now seem so hopeless.
We do not take advantage of our players special characteristics and we expect from some of them to create... miracles.
DP actually reflects the situation. He seems desperate and selfish because CR, arms him with no attacking plan, no support and orders him to score from 30m away and threw 3-4 players. This is why he looks so frustrated and tries so many desperate shoots, because there is no one else to it, i ve been watching the game with two non Juve footy fans and they said, that he is all alone and has absolutely no support, no one to turn into...
When i saw the line up, i was glad to see Giovinco there and i was quite surprised to see him playing as an amf.
Finally, thats a bold move from CR i thought, but unfortunately, Sissoko wasnt fit today to cover up for 2 DMs and we lost the center midfield.
Giovinco's presence and brilliance is most welcomed, but without a tactical plan to follow, it cannot be as efficient as it gets!
A few players had contradictory roles and there was confusion and frustration, esp in our wings. Neddy and Camo were horrible and among with Sissoko, we lost the midfield and the control of the game.
That made our defense, even more shaky and exposed her weakness,
i ve been saying for years, when Chiellini was turned into a CB, that he is good but clumsy for this job. Chiellini knows very well that he fights all alone in our defense and that he must do all the work by himself,
this responsibility suffocates him...yes even him...
There is a collective problem within our team, as you can easily notice, the ones we used today where clinically fit for the job (maybe except the "hungry" Mommo) Camo,Neddy,DP,Chiellini were all fit, but they were not actually there. The CL should motivate them enough, but there are issues that do not allow them to perform.
90% of the times many players present a problem, it means its coaches fault. There is no real chances that all of them suddenly lost focus and lost their form simultaneusly, there is smth bigger going on here and we can easily guess what it is...
CR feels the pressure now, his throne is "tinking", his job is threatened, someone has to take the blame and the tactical choices and horrible transfer choices need a scapegoat. CR was always scared of the crowd yells, he was always scared to lose and that was the real reason he chanced his formation today, to appease fans and media, the ones who smell his fear and incompetence and criticise him merciless...
His time will come rather sooner than later...
The issues we presented today are not new, they are permanent and they persist, there should have been properly addressed at the appropriate time,
we had the necessary time and budget for this, but we chose to ignore them and we must be ready to pay the price for them...
-Manningher was good and he was probably the best choice this board has ever take!
-DC was finally present, delivered a lot of things offensively and he was generally our best performer in the defense
-Chiellini was forced to take 2-3 roles 1-2 CBs,2nd DM and Libero, he barely coped, he need a classy partner so that he can concentrate on his sector (thats the 1000th time i repeat that)
-Legro was injured and hopefully less serious than Mellberg
-Grygera was stable, better than last year, but still not as good as Zebina
-Knezevic was the reason Chiellini was so desperate
-Neddy was unfocused and was getting more desperate than the minute
-Camo plays without focus and determination lately and not even the Cl can change that, i wonder whats bugging him...
-Sissoko needs to be fed properly...
-Giovinco did all he could, being so young and vulnerable, the only thing the BATE players could do to stop him, was bullying him, Sissoko was supposed to be his bodyguard and the ref should not allow so many hard fouls against him unpunished. He was one of our best players on the field however and provided 2 assists!
-Iaquinta, we knew he wasnt quite on form, but these defenders are supposed to be an easy duty for him, comparing them to Italian defenses.
I ve always admired his header this time he took the best of his chance, for a change...
-DP, desperate, frustrated, uninspired, unlucky, unfocused
he cant deliver a miracle at every single match and this is what CR asks him to do, he must create, provide and finish by himself, well he cant do that all by himself. At this particular time we had the tools fielded to make things work, thats a pity we didnt use them...
-Amaury came too late and there was little he could do to help our situation, if he was brought earlier and we were to use the trident, subbing out one of our weaklings midfielders, then we might actually turn this game, but CR was too afraid to lose that one point, which is "better that nothing" as he sees it, what a loser...
