exactly. gatti is doing his best - and unfortunately that's his best currently. some good games, some bad ones. he's a 10m player doing the job of a 10m player.
i've been parroting this for years: our starting 11 for the last few years has been full of squad player level guys. out of our current squad, how many players would have started for juventus between 2013 and 2020? many would take vlahovic over llorrente, in-form rabiot would start over matuidi, i'd take bremer over benatia/de ligt in a 3-man defense (not in a 4-man though), tek is more or less the same player, and that's probably all. even post injury chiesa would find it difficult to get ahead of mandzukic and mario wasn't even a winger lol
we really have to fix the squad. the last scudetto worthy starting 11 was sarri's. it's been downhill ever since. if anyone believes that bringing motta (or whatever coach) would make us scudetto contenders, then they are facing a rude awakening next january-february, if not earlier. unless the squad is strengthened during the summer mercato, that is
