Ranieri showed his cowardly face once again, indeed. Managers for teams like Bari, Chievo, Catania and pretty much every team in Serie A managed to crack the code to make this sorry Juve look a 100% toothless, while Ranieri played it "safe" and let Juve run things. :lol:

100% lucky victory that came after a disgusting dive by Taddei. And to those that say "SEEEEEE WE SHOULDNT HAVE LET RANIERI GO", I am very concerned about the fact that your memory bank has not the capacity to store events taking place 8 months ago. We were horrible under Ranieri and were sure to miss out on CL. Fuck off.
Are we any better off now? Some fools said anyone would have been better than Ranieri. Look how that turned out. Say whatever you want to, but the fact is that Roma is 5 points clear of us in the table. He might be a loser manager, but now isn't the time to laugh at him. Because there's a bigger joke we can laugh at. Us.

We did good to replace CR, when we did, but ought to learn smth from it and bring a proper coach for this season.
We preferred the cheap, Italian, young and inexperienced.
That was really really stupid and risky decision, for no particularly good reason.

(other than the obvious ones, a cheap puppet/pawn/scapegoat that would obey and sacrificed)

I think they saw Pep and thought "Hey, what's the big deal!" In Italien of course.

And you've always given Ranieri the benefit of the doubt, even when he was poor. You can't be trusted in this matter.

I have always given everyone the benefit of the doubt. Even Ciro. But I accepted he had to go long before he left. You don't need to trust me on this matter, just look at the table.

But it's pathetic to defend the guy now. He's not our coach, he didn't do a good job for us, and he deserved to be fired. You acting as some sort of Monday morning commentator doesn't change that.

Firing Ranieri was the right decision. Hiring Ferrara was not.

It's pathetic that we have to keep pointing it out.

I ve always believed that was just an excuse, not the real reason we took that path. Because we made similar choices pre-Pep.

Avoiding expensive coaches when we had the chances and still avoiding them today, after the Pep path has miserably failed, proves that!

I never said otherwise. All I'm saying is that us making fun of Ranieri right now just makes us look foolish.

There's nothing wrong with making fun of Ranieri at any time. Ferrara is an inexperienced coach with not even a season under his belt (not to be used as an excused), so Ciro, despite his weakness as a manager, doesn't come close to Ranieri's glut of failures throughout his career.

You don't have anything to be proud of. You just won against a team that had no clue how to complete 3 passes together, led by a mediocre coach, with a penalty and a goal with 10 men.

You are still a joke of a manager.
Correction, Ranieri is the mediocre coach. Ferrara is not a coach at all. He fails at the very basic of coaching. Its flattering to call Ciro a coach, let alone compare even to a loser like Ranieri.

But to the rest, yes you are right. Ranieri's Roma were playing for the draw, even defending with numbers when losing, we outmatched them at this ineptude at the end.

The only noticable tactical thing he did was instructing long balls behind our defence, and prolly telling Riise to go far up as a left winger when we were 1 man down, to make unexpected runs while our players are star gazing not knowing who covers who. This was "decent" coaching. The rest he was fortunate in how things turned out, otherwise he would continued with the ridicolous charade of defending with numbers even when you are goal down.

fortunate??

14 games unbeaten in all competitions? FFS they have best record in Seria A.
They used to loose with 2-3 goal differences regularly. We laughed at Roma last season, but CR fixed that straight away.

And yes, he did say to Risse to play as an striker last 5 minutes, so it goes about, you dont have to make sub in order to change tactics etc..


CR has done great for Roma and i wish him good luck.

He was not coach for us and we all agree on that, but also to say that our Juve last season was never winning material anyway. Same with other teams he coached, apart from Chelsea, when he lost only to Arsenal who were unbeaten whole season.

I think he deserves much more respect then u guys are showing here.

Is he the most underrated coach around?

Probably yes..

That is the very reason we needed to fire Ranieri. He's too ready to accept mediocrity and accept that the Scudetto belongs to Milan.
There is no doubt about that! Btw Ferrara might be and probably is worse than him at the moment, but it doesn't mean firing Ranieri was a mistake (like some people claim), we took a step back, that's the whole issue..
