Trap was as defensive as hell during his Italy days. People must have some kind of amnesia if they think he's the answer or fix. A leopard never changes its spots.

Red, maybe you're right, maybe it's a knee-jerk Ranieri hangover, but does Ciros trophy record validate a dip in form? oh right yeah....
obviously you don't remember euro 2004 very much
I remember the utter joy I experience with my NT with Trap in charge
I wouldn't mind Billic, I'd pay the air fare if it meant ciro was going tomorrow

Gian Piero Gasperini anyone?
Anyway, I think this time is really important for Ciro, stacking up the points through our struggles is doing us more good than we at this point, as fans, envisage. Fact is, like Ferrara very correctly pointed out, changing formations after six years takes some doing. And with a notably new crux to the team, it's only a matter of players developing an understanding of each other's movements. Admittedly, we're 9 games into the season, but Ciro hasn't stopped working out solutions that prove to be optimal for the team. I think his idea to switch back today was more an experiment so that he can draw conclusions on this formation's shortcomings vs tha 4-2-3-1 he used against Maccabi. Sampdoria will imo see the return of the latter, which again is contingent on a Camo-Die-Gio three, anyone missing and he k nows he's got no option but to switch back to a lesser 4-3-1-2. I dont see him use the 4-4-2 at all, he's more single-minded than that. But about time we get some momentum going. 3 very important points today. Keeps the team belief together, and sets it up nicely for the game against Cassano and co. Pretty certain Gio will show for that one, Ciro knows better than we credit him for. Even if his inexperience is telling, I think he'll come good.
