and were not already on that path ??

Lets see if Atalanta handles us like Maccabi, or worse yet Napoli, then we'll see what you have to say

Unless the manager has either lost the majority of his matches thus far, had a blow up with the players or management, or intentionally forfeited a game, it's simply too early to sack someone at this stage. Sure, we may be seven points behind Inter, but we run the risk of becoming even worse under somebody else. You have to give people time, Vinni. Two months is not enough. Period.

If we end up losing more matches soon, and fall out of Europe, then you might be justified in sacking.

C'mon Mike....I'm being realistic. We have only shown potential in 2 games this season, hardly acceptable when we've spent all this money to improve the team, and then hire someone with zero experience

I hear you brother, but I'm willing to come some slack to the team because of the horrendous injuries the team has suffered. Until we have a settled team, we can't make a final judgment. Don't get me wrong though, some of the performances, regardless of injuries have indeed been unacceptable.

can i say one thing

i know even i have been a bit harsh on ciro, but 7 points behind inter ok its not the best situation to be in but ciro so far has dealt with an initial formation that showed potential in the pre season and in our first game, then rather abruptly failed, had to then change formations all this once again with injuries to key players. After all this we manage to find a new formation, once again lose key players to make this formation work to its full potential(sissoko, giovinco).

not only that but the players havent found consitency because of these injuries, this making it harder. Not to forget no bench available.

I think its very stupid to claim like some have that ciro should yell at the players at half time, why doesnt he do anything, he just stands there bla bla bla.
As if they know what he says to the players.

give Ciro more time, sacking him now would be the most stupid thing this club could do.

4-3-1-2 is failing because we were missing the most crucial component...I still believe it can be good for us

del piero?

Certamente

i agree with this, but who do we bench??

should it be

more of a

-----------striker?-------------
------------------alex(gio)------
---------diego(gio)------------
marchisio-melo-sissoko

 

[Ahmed]

I think Camo has to be there so we pick 2 out of M & M & M

Trez to partner Ale up front

ye, would be criminal to bench camo now, as well as gio

id rather have to many players than not enough to choose from.

 

[Ahmed]

Gio can be our impact substitution, he can come in for Ale and we can change the system or he could play SS, or replace Diego in the hole, there are quite a few options...

Let's just see how Del Piero performs when he comes back. We can't keep relying on him forever, and even if he might have the desire, his body might not support him for that much longer.

We need to start looking beyond Del Piero, because the man has already done a lot for us, and we can't really ask anymore of him, or expect him to bail us out all the time.

Only the Viola coach is worth sacking Ciro!.. We should let him stay untill the end of the season!..

4-3-1-2 is failing because we were missing the most crucial component...I still believe it can be good for us

The 4-3-1-2 is built around Diego. Diego clearly struggled in that formation due to lack of support and very close marking. 4-2-3-1 and the support of Gio and Camo helps in terms of relieving pressure off Diego and allowing him to do his job. Would Del Piero really be enough? It would be a real shame to see Gio not still in the position where he can truely meet his potential. We saw how he did replacing Diego in the hole, he gets beaten up. I think Amauri probably works best as a lone striker too, which I think he used to at Palermo.

For me 4-2-3-1 is the best formation for the team, and 4-3-1-2 is the best for Del Piero. Its a massive dilemma between love and loyalty to Del Piero in addition to the spirit he brings onto the field and what formation suits the team best.

Ciro :bigscarf:

If we get Prandelli he'll bring Marchionni back.
