Are you saying Zanetti is doing better for Fiorentina than he did for us?
That's odd. Last time I checked Cristiano had been one of our best & most consistent players for 3 seasons. Only hampered by regular injuries, which could still come back to haunt him.
Is Ferrara employing him in the wrong way? Maybe so, but that is no way an excuse for his lacklustre play. He plays & looks like he doesn't give a damn, except for when we score.
Everyone should start counting the amount of times in a game when, instead of running back to help out the defense, he just calmly walks or jogs back. Myself, I usually stop counting after 10.
He has received a tremendous amount of criticism in Italy, mostly people pointing out that he gives his all for the Brazilian NT and that he takes it easy in the Juve games. I'm beginning to agree with that sentiment.
Edit: Him still settling in might be a reason for his troubles. He wouldn't be the first one to have an extremely difficult first year with us, but the signs (lack of determination, sheer stupidity,...) don't look good at all.

The common consensus about his performances from the start of the season is that he was doing really well until about the last couple of months.
We had two huge games and I don't care if you had Peter Griffin as head coach, that still doesn't warrant the shit we've been seeing from him. I defended him in the Inter game where he was average. But, playing like that in a game where all the fight is needed is just unacceptable.
The guy leaves his man to just stroll through the middle of the park then to the box well his jogging. No concentration or fight whatsoever from except for one half tackle where he tried to get the fans up or something. This is a premier midfielder and hes being a whiny ass only because they've put in the bidone d'or or whatever that shit is. How weak is that.
I don't want to sell him but he needs to get his act together. We've been saying that for a while now and giving him a lot of slack. But in games like these I personally can't let it go.

Funny pattern though around here is that we blame the management for Ciro, we dont blame the coach for players performance? WTF is Ciro supposed to do anyhow then.
I seriously question Ciros abilities to improve the players in trainings, work on different aspects.
Melo f--ked up, but so did many others. Not just one player to pick at, so therefore i actually dont go all guns out on players this time.
