Well, it's time for him to go. Juventus shouldn't be getting kicked out of the CL group stage with such embarrassing performances. We didn't score more than one goal in any match even against giants such as Maccabi fucking Haifa.
Serie A has been equally as poor with performances against Palermo and Cagliari springing to mind and two which the quality we have, wasn't put on display. The positive (Sampdoria 5-1) is possibly the only highlight so far, and they rolled over for us completely. The Inter game alone shouldn't save him, because even then we were getting raped by shots and crosses, admittedly not as hectic as tonight though.
Onto the game we played tonight. We needed a draw to go through. We played as if it's the first time our players have ever met each other really, the midfield battle was completely lost, there wasn't any rhythm apart from the ONE good spell in the second half when we won our first corner (shocking statistic). Our team play is completely non existent, and as someone in the match thread said, everyone plays for their own ass and that's it. I really question what we do in training, because nobody knows how to work with one another. And I don't think that's Ferrara's fault, because the individuals (Diego, Felipe Melo) have done absolutely fuck all, and the inconsistency issues with the rest of the team is even more worrying. A team with our talent should in no way still be dominated by Bayern when they are winning 3-1 and we need two goals, but we still are, and this is one of few home defeats in the competition ever, to show how it should be done by a team like Juventus.
Then the substitutions. Poulsen for our captain Del Piero at 1-1. And we laughed when people said Ranieri played for the draw? As expected, Diego went out the game and didn't do a thing positively, Trezeguet didn't touch the ball and Bayern had their own training session crossing balls into our area and taking long shots. When they finally score (minute 52), we need at least goal to save our place in the group. And we suffer through 12 more minutes of pain with Bayern still dominating looking for another goal, before Amauri is brought on for Diego. So now we're playing 4-4-2 with three central midfielders and Camoranesi. And as expected, we don't look remotely threatening. Minute 81, we're still losing 2-1 and Giovinco is brought on. A quick, threatening player to help win the match. Half an hour after we concede the goal putting Bayern ahead of us in the standings and he barely touches the ball through yet more Bayern possession and goals. I find that, quite honestly, a fucking joke.
Ferrara has no idea as a coach. The team was hyped up to challenge Inter, and €50m later, we're in an even worse position than last season. We're out of the Champions League without a single great performance by the TEAM, (even Ranieri managed that twice in the groups), and in the Europa league. I hate seeing eleven players out there not playing as a team perhaps more than conceding goals in some ways. The people running this club need to act now.

This was his last match, I guess.
clowns like jean claude blanc has to be blamed. hiring a manager who is actually a scout!? what was he thinking? low salary? yeah we saved a lot by hiring him but how much we lost due to pathetic results in champions league?
his compatriots should be proud of blanc. Board has to go, otherwise clownery will never end.

me and you agreed on this before but everyone else was "OMG I LOVE FERRARA!!!" after the match.
I'll say it again, I'd rather see my team get to the CL final than win the Uefa Cup.
However, as the Europa League is for B class teams I think under Ciro we have no chance of winning it. Thats because we don't even qualify as a B class Team.

Exactly! We needed to invest all those money on defense, or full backs specially. Investing all that on DM was dumb, but I still think bringing Diego was a very good move. He is off form, but I have no doubt he will find his form again, hopefully Melo does the same and proves me all wrong. But even if he does, will he be as great as Sissoko? I doubt!! For that I say paying over 20 millions for him was insane..
