I don't understand how people can blame Ferrara. It was always going to be difficult to integrate 5 new players as well as change the formation. And the management didn't make it any easier. If they signed a winger instead of Diego then they could have continued playing a 4-4-2. Then Ferrara wouldn't have had to change the entire tactical set up. Diego is a great player, but its going to take time to integrate him and the new formation.
if ciro really had at least plan A with a formation he wants to play, than we would not be in the situation we are right now. he seems to have a weak character if he changes his mind so often. its clear that this does not even help at all.
stick to one formation and tell every player exactly what you want from him, where he is supposed to move and play the ball and things like this dont happen.
with the player quality we have it should be possible to play nearly every formation at least that good, that we would overcome 80% of the teams in the league. only inter can boast a better squad quality and depth and could also play many formations, the other teams have crap quality players and still beat us.
and please stop to cry about our weak/mediocre players! the teams that defeated us would gladly take ANY of our weakest players and put him in the first team !
if ferrara had a game plan and clearly instructed the players what to do in the formation, than we would perhaps one or two players that would not play that well, because the position does not fit them so good, but right now all players run clueless and ciro does not seem to intervene at all ... he clearly seems to have these glasses from the simpsons episode, where he could see the world though the eyes of a drunk.
Ferrara had also wanted a regista and the management failed to get him that. So now Ciro needs to discover a tactical set up that works with the players he has instead of playing the one he originally planned.
ha ha, i bet a 5 year old would beat him in chess
