To be honest I don't think it has much to do with Ranieri this time. Maybe it is for the first half, but subbing made a big difference in the second half and we looked much much better. What costed us the match was simply the idiocy of that Olaf! Otherwise, we would have simply walked out with the 3 points and a very nice victory.

Blaming Ranieri for all our ills is stupid.

Juve have not yet replaced Moggi, and that is the real problem. Their is nobody in control with an agenda for the teams future and structure.

No but he purchased Mellberg in the first place.

Also, he made him play in a high defensive line, despite the fact Pellessier's strength is running behind opposition defense and despite the fact Pellissier is extremely fast. Mellberg was never going to catch him for that first goal and you know that.

It's bloody CR's fault, before this game, I was hoping I'd see Ariaudo in CB instead of "Olaf" because I always knew the guy was a suspect, CR needs to start playing Ariaudo alongside Chiellini now that Legro is injured, personally, I think the kid has it in him. Then I just wonder why Ranieri likes benching his best players(is it because they're not yet 30), he sort of loves seeing old donkeys trotting about the pitch calling them stallions. Throughout this season, we have always been let down at one time or another by our "experienced players", when he starts playing our youngsters more, we'll start winning more. Big up to Giovinco, he didnt play much-because CR probably asked him not to commit himself so much. Bloody ass-limiting the boy now right?

I won't say draw against Chievo is Ranieri's fault... but i don't like our character when we lead, like against Chievo.. there is no discipline

or like against Cagliari with all attack and offside trap when we lead 2-1 or against Lecce with offside trap then Cacia made equaliser for Lecce but fortunately Amauri save us with last minute goal

How can Mellberg play the ball to the middle (not just shoot it over), lost it, and not even make foul or disturb Langella while he is out of position and the match only 1 minute left...

Everybody who blames Ranieri for the embarassing draw yesterday is out of his mind.

The only thing he could/should have done is playing Poulsen instead of Tiago.The subs were on point as well.It's the player's fault FFS.Oh and please,Olof was very solid all season yet some of you say Ariaudo should have played instead?Yeah,right.

I still think playing a high line was a mistake.

In fact his crossing has improved ten fold, just compare his crossing this season to his awful crossing last season. Big, big difference.

Name calling is so original, I would never choose ariaudo over melberg, not this year not at this extremely delicate stage of the season. Ariaudo is a hot prospect, but he lacks experience, which supposedly melberg has.

Thats the funny thing, with experience one shouldnt do such mistakes as Mellberg did, still, in this situation i wouldnt even think about Ariaudo insted of Swede, because of the same experience :D

True that. :agree: I'd give it to Marchisio though. I admit i didn't really watch him play for Empoli last season, but still, i did not expect him to play this well this season, he has matured faster than i expected.

Come on, even if Molinaro has improved, we still have to get rid of this player and Ranieri should be damned for not trying out De Ceglie more in the position.

I wouldn't do anything with the LB position.

I consider RB and CB as both needing more urgent attention.


And, yes. De Ceglie should have got more opportunities.
