As much as I hate being out of the Champions League and as much as it sucked watching the match last Tuesday, I feel that us fans, me included, tend to be very premature in our judgements. The season isn't over yet. Yes, we've had abysmal European campaign and have been shit in a lot of games, but let's make judgements at the end of the season when we have tangible things to judge Ciro on. You cannot judge the performance of a season when half of it is not even over.
This is an inexperienced coach and the season can still be salvaged (whether I believe it or not is another story). If by a stretch of the imagination we win the Scudetto, and say the Coppa, the season would not be remembered for the shitty performances but for the titles won.
Ciro is inexperienced. The club gambled in summer. It's only fair to give him at least one season. One season is the bare minimum for a level headed judgement. For God's sake we have how many new players? We have a new coach for the team who is also a new coach in general, new tactical formations etc. Whoever thinks things just happen overnight is living in dream land.
The point is, nobody remembers the shitty performances and the defeats if one ends up achieving something. Take 2003. We reached CL final, but how often do we sit and remember the 3 - 0 defeat to Man Utd? We rightly remember the Madrid game.
Disclaimer: To those who have a hard time understanding what is written. This is not a blinded Ciro defence, it's just a call for objective and clear-headed thinking. Shit happens. Let's judge the season when it's over.
