So now we've become lovable losers....
It comes down to what I, and some others here said before this season started- we don't have a world-class striker or strikers that can take control of the game and win it for us. We saw over 2 legs that we are the WORST offensive team of the last 8 in the CL...WORST !!!
We disposed of DP (who would have been good for at least one goal in the two legs, tbh) and replaced him with Bentner...yeah, that's real good management
With the exception of Vucinic, none of the forwards are good enough and don't justify their salaries. Get rid of all 3 of them, and spend some money on guys who consistently put the ball into the net
Which brings me to the comments of our obviously seeing-impaired general manager. if you are going to complain about economics, tell the Agnelli's to sell the team to someone who will put more money into players, rather than bitching about what everyone else spends. The only way we will win is by spending as much as everyone else, plain and simple. Otherwise, get happy with being knocked out in the quarters or worse every season.
Unfortunately, the Germans proved that they deserve the co-efficient, and are the better league. We may win the scudetto, but take a good look at the teams we are competing against, not exactly the best of the best in Europe anymore....
