-He has declared many times over that he "trusts" our defenders, both individually and as a unit.
-He never tried to change them willing-fully, he insisted with them till the very end,
if he wasnt pleased with them, his subs would have shown that.
He never gave any real chances to Criscito, DC and Ariaudo.
He was pleased with the quality of the current material and its potential.
He could affort at some games to use someone else, just to prove that he is not 100% and he considering new options there. But NO, he 100% committed to those weaklings...
-When asked by the reporters what kind of player would he wish for our team, he mentioned defensive midfielders and forwards...
-He praised Legro as NT material and Molinaro as our best player of the last season.
If he wanted new defenders, he would at least show his discomfort and would rather prefer a new defender instead of the Poulsen he asked.
-At the post match lame comments, when our defense made some huge mistakes that cost us far too many points to count. He never played them, he blamed everybody else but them, the grass, the ref, the determination/luck of our opponents, the lack of coverage from our DMs and wingers.
He never admitted we have a defensive issue. Not even now...
