I am extremely disappointed by Melo this entire season. I've ignored his mistakes earlier in the season hoping that he just needed some time to settle in, but now after a fair amount of games played I can give my honest opinion about this guy.
I'm sorry Melo, but if you STILL dont realise that you shouldn't fuck around on our own half after all those mistakes then you're a fucking moron. I just cant believe he isn't learning from his many mistakes. This part isn't Ferrara's fault, it's just Melo being a complete idiot. I usually dont go around insulting our players, but Melo deserves it. Yes, maybe he is used in the wrong way and his "playmaking" role just increases the risk of him making a bad pass, but that isn't an excuse for the way he's been screwing up in our own half. Seriously, every time Melo gets the ball I'm scared as hell he'll just give it away and the sad thing is that this has happened a lot. If this was Moli I would understand, because he has no talent, Melo on the other hand actually does have skills and a decent pass. It looks to me that the problem is in his head.
He might win over some fans with his "passion", but he has done shit to warrant a starting spot in this team, heck I would even prefer Tiago over him. I'm glad he isn't starting in our next game. He needs to be away from the pitch for a couple of games. Let him fight back to regain his spot.
Melo has unfortunately turned out to be a bad signing. I'm not even saying that he's a bad player, because when he's focused and playing his usual role he's a actually quite good. We've seen that at Fiorentina and Brazil. Our board just made the huge mistake of buying him when they failed to get D'Ago and using him the way they wanted to use the Italian. Major mistake there.
