Ferrara's subs have been so clueless, I worry that no amount of time can fix insanity. :shifty:
Exactly! :tup:
I don't think it would be smart to fire Ferrara now, as give managers at the very least six months to figure things out. Most of the time it's an entire season, same as a player.
Firing Ferrara would only cause us to stumble more in both the league and CL but IMO if we continue this lake of form even if we qualify to the Knockout stage of the CL, Ciro should be fired just before the Christmas break.

So basically, you want to see us stumbling both in the League and Champions League?

I completely agree with that. But again, what worries me is that he's made some moves that I don't think will ever make sense, no matter how much experience you get.

The DC substitute yesterday was frightening. It appears that instead of going for a win, his theory is safety and protection against a loss, no matter where we play. For some reason, Italian managers really like to subscribe to this way of thinking as if it's a known truth that it's the best course of action. But I find it quite... childish. In terms of probability theory, I'd guess that you lose more points by going strictly negative instead of going for the win. It's one point compared to the possibility of three. So if Ciro continues along this path, it will be so Ranieri-like in nature that we might as well have kept him.

Of course, I'm hoping Ferrara plays the cards he's dealt, not put them down every hand like he did yesterday.

A 4-4-2 switch isn't a terrible idea when fundamentally the formation hasn't been working right and there's a service gap.

But of all the people to introduce at that stage... DC? And no Giovinco? And not starting our hottest striker in Trezeguet? That's what I find confounding under a situation where you're trying to create a lead that isn't coming from anywhere.

and it was much too late to be ineffective anyway...I guess Ciro had decided that they weren't gonna get 3 points in the end, and seeing the way Fiorentina were looking more threatening with the ball, he decided to shut up shop

I feel like ciro is writting trez off and "phasing" him out as he is leaving. I really don't know why trez isn't starting. There is no tactical necessity or team we would play where playing trez would be a bad idea. I can't think of any reason. The guy scores goals like a fat kid eats. It just comes natural and it shouldn't matter who we are playing because david can score against anyone if he already hasn't.
