I'm not defending Ferrara, let's just point that out first. If anything, I think he's a pretty bad coach, someone who can't lead us nor any other top club IMO.
I know he made mistakes and I know he's going to make more. I'll make some points below.
Good coach or not, he would make a difference, but it wouldn't be something spectacular. It's just that our team isn't composed to do anything this year. It's not that I wouldn't welcome Guus or any other good coach here but considering the money we'd pay for him I don't think we could gain that much from our performances. We'd look different and there would be some organization but it's not enough, not even close to perfect.
We lack better players and players to cover positions where don't have anybody.
We play a system that fails, 4-3-1-2 is awful and we shouldn't think of playing it...especially with our players. I've said it a couple of times but I guess I'll say it again.
Our fullbacks are mediocre. Grosso ain't nothing but an average player, Grygera doesn't have any attacking abilities while I don't rate Caceres much. We were covered with tons of DMs but now we came to a point where we lack players. There is ONLY Marchisio who can do something, but not if players next to him are lost, and even Marchisio can be invisible very often. Sissoko makes a difference and all but he was injured. Melo, Tiago and Poulsen were fail this season. Now, I don't know if that's Ciro's faul (I still doubt) but with that kind of midfield you can't count on anything serious. 90% of matches it's zero productivity so now you have defenders who are going with long balls and fullbacks who can't do anything up front while attackers can't score. Can a new coach really make a huge difference? I don't think so, not that big...and we'd pay much more.
Bottom line is this: We can't do anything without in-form Camo. We played pretty good when we had Giovinco - Diego - Camo in attacking, didn't we? Well surprise surprise. Our biggest problem is that we have no appropriate players. Ciro's biggest mistake are not our current results, but taking THIS formation. You can't play without wingers, not if you have Grosso's and Grygera's.
Gianluigi Buffon - no complains
Martín Cáceres - inconsistent and goes berserk
Giorgio Chiellini - no complains
Felipe Melo - flop
Fabio Cannavaro - too old, was good at start but now he's very bad
Fabio Grosso - too old, clueless
Hasan Salihamidžic - too old, we have to rely on him when we don't have Camo = sad
Claudio Marchisio - good
Vincenzo Iaquinta - good (sub); not good for lone striker formation
Alessandro Del Piero - was injured
Amauri - can't score -- we lack old Amauri but not possible it seems
Alexander Manninger
Jonathan Zebina - older, always injured
Mauro Camoranesi - old but very good and always injured
David Trézéguet - main poacher, almost always injured
Christian Poulsen - not old Pouseln, so far pretty much a flop
Sebastian Giovinco - good, hard to settle him in some formation
Zdenek Grygera - bad
Mohamed Sissoko - good
Michele Paolucci - average back up
Diego - good
De Ceglie - decent back up
Nicola Legrottaglie - bad
So we have Buffon, Chiellini, Sissoko, Marchisio and Diego. I doubt there could be some coach to revive players because we simply lack wingers, we lack fullbacks. Our team is average and with many flops. Those who are good and who can make big changes are ALWAYS injured and we're stuck with Salihamidzic and co. Players that can't make anything positive out of our misery.
It was just a matter of time before some humiliates us but I was expecting some EPL team tbh, not Bayern.
We started this season with half-broken team and with no formation. This team can only do good if (and that's a big if) when there are no injuries and if they are motivated enough. When you make our starting XI you'd see one sad defense, horrible midfield (Poulsen - Melo - Marchisio) and strikers who can't find the net. On the top of that, the players on who are we supposed to rely on are 32+
Can Hiddink make something better?
Probably, but not so much. I guess the best thing we can do is cheer for team and hope to grab CL spot so we don't lose more money.
Drastic changes are needed and it should start from Blanc.
