All coaches want to win, most of them have a winners mentality, what distinguishes coaches from one another in this respect though is, if they are capable of instilling that mentality and confidence in their players ie, Fergie and Mourinho.

I wrote earlier that in order to progress we need a coach with a winning mentality
Ranieri has never won anything big in his career, he is a good coach
I think he did a good job getting us into Europe, that was above my expectation but now we need to take an extra step and we need someone else for that
I don't mentio anyone because that's another discussion
maybe we just don't have a worldclass team but I'll give you an example
Pellegrini at Villareal has been giving Real and Barca a real hard time although Villareal is a relatively small team with a fraction of their budget
and he does that with exciting football
now I'm not saying we should get him but I mean that even though we don't have the money of Inter or even the players we can get better results and in an attractive fashion
and btw we have a lot more means then Villareal
I would want to see what he's capable of with a real quality list of players. Getting 2nd in the league and playing well in the champions league with this group should be commended by anyone.

People here want too much too quickly. This is getting annoying hearing everyone bash CR when we have our so called leaders hitting the headlines with inappropriate comments and our captain shows up late to training a day after getting his ass handed to him by Chievo? DP had a horrible half, he needed subbed. He needs to get over himself.

Again, you're speculating. Keep the speculation for the stock and commodity markets.

People are rightfully angered with Ranieri because some of his decisions this season have been wrong and he actually hindered our season. If he would have done the logical thing more throughout the season, we could still be in different competitions right now.

Players make mistakes too. Tiago is horrible, Chiellini cost us a goal, Iceberg cost us two....why does everyone always point the blame at CR? I know he isn't perfect by any means, but if some of our players showed up to perform like they get paid to do at other times during this season then yes we would be in some other competitions still...it works both ways IMO.

Ranieri has been a screw up far too often. But when it comes down to dressing down the team after their Chievo performance, how can I not support that?

DP had a bad game...does that mean it was a bad choice to start him? Yeah he picks the team, but the players themselves show up or not ready to play.

Not really, mentally he just wasn't in the game...is it CRs fault? I'm speaking of the mental aspect to the game...

Of course players will have bad games from time to time. Nobody is contesting that. Mellborg, Tiago and others have been lambasted the past two days, so I still don't know what you're saying when you claim CR is getting all the abuse.

He seems to be the scapegoat for many, its just easy for people to point fingers at him instead of trying to figure out why our team seemed to lose the hunger they had at the beginning of the season.

And it's the manager's job to make sure the team maintains that hunger. If the team starts losing morale he has to step in to rise it up.

I'm sorry, that's just the way it works.

Did you not see the way the team played from the start of the second half to the point we went ahead?

There was no lack of effort.


The team's heart and determination just isn't enough to overcome the technical and tactical deficiencies.
