I blame the coach really, they played too deep with this crap 3 man defence, easy for Liverpool to soak most of it up. Dossena fucked up any attacking threat they had as well.
Right down close to France I reckon. It doesn't even make sense on a technical level, of course Serie A is not super strong these days but some of the teams they are losing or drawing to is laughable, there is a real mental problem.
Fred, you know that some folks will only respond by saying Italian teams just don't care about the Europa. That's the excuse that will be used constantly, even despite Palermo fielding close to a first choice side.
There's no defending it anymore. Serie A is just weak.

But in fact,there is a reason behind the poor performance of the Italian teams in Europe(not the main one but it also affects their results),and that is they are always drawn in such difficult groups.
Just have a look at Arsenal & Chelsea groups in CL,they are incomparable to the groups of Milan n Roma,take also a look at how week Barca's group is.The Italians in the last few years are always fucked up by being drawn in the strongest groups.In the last 5 yrs you will always find an Italian team in the groups of death.Both in CL as well as EL.
