He need to get things sorted. Some idea is good but he needs to read the opponents better. He might think Atalanta is like Atalanta's Gasperini with high pressing and leaves lots of space for Openda to exploit, yet we control the match and need presence in the box (David). He also know Zhegrova click with David and David can be a good player in the box, but he still not played.

I dint know if they can work out or not but Openda played as SS for Sesko in RB Leipzig. Can he play as SS for David or Vlahovic ?
Openda has to be an SS from now on. Hopeless in Serie A as a CF unless it's late in the game and we need an option for fast counters

We played with 3 midfielders yesterday. Adzic was slotting in with Koop and Thuram. It was a 352 for the first part of the game.

I hope Tudor continues doing that when needed. We were dominant in the first half, Atalanta was reduced to nothing until their goal.

It was Adzic's first start, its fine that he wasn't very good. I hope Miretti comes back ASAP and plays that role as well. Good to see Cabal back too.

The only bad thing today was Openda being absolutely pointless as a striker. That's was Tudor's mistake.

Harsh.

Zero midfield, Bricklayer at CB and has the balls to start a youngster who everyone wanted to see playy but it's backfired due to Adzic being a retard.
Well you could argue that with a few better players we would have been a great team but then again you would expect him to still deliver with the team at his disposal.

I see some positives in his game but also some negatives. Suitable players always help but compared to other coaches he still has a lot to learn.

We will currently fight for CL spot instead of the Scudetto. Hope we do get that CL spot as its not that granted as it should be.

It will only get worse as the season goes on. There’s nothing he can do to pivot from his stupidity of this rigid system. Adding another midfielder won’t help matters because they’re all terrible and we still have the back three that isn’t flexible and Kalulu still plays out of position for yet another braindead reason. He will go down as a worse hire than Motta because everyone knows what you’re getting with this guy. A silly caretaker manager.

We are around 2 or 3 good players from being serious title contenders. The issue is that we will sell 2 or 3 good players to obtain them.

Rince and repeat. Mid table club confirmed.

At first I thought he plays Kalulu as RWB for tactical reasons, i.e. for opponents whose main attacking threats come from left flank. It turns out now that he is just being conservative.

Rotating just for the sake of experimenting isn’t helping either. By now, after the summer friendlies, training, and the first games, you should already have a clear idea of your best 11. Why waste momentum instead of playing to the squad’s full strengths, especially against weaker opposition? Instead, we’ve stumbled to 3 draws that should’ve been wins, and now we’re heading into our toughest stretch of games, risking a setback that could cost us big time.

Too many conclusions too early, yes the team is severely lacking especially at CB and CM but this is september. Still need time to gel, new players need to settle in, and if we are lucly and get into a rhythm we could do some nice things even with the aforementioned deficiencies. Let's save the doom and gloom for at least a few more weeks, speaking of, the next few weeks gonna be rough...

Absolutely, far too much hyperbole. You can point out issues without going over the top.

The problem:
None of the new signins is a starter or looks like could be one in any near future. David has no trust of Tudor, Openda is preffered to him, even though he joined on deadline day.
Zhegrova is not ready yet and it will take time to integrate him.
Kalulu is preffered to Joao Mario on that right side, which makes us play much more defensively, i would even say cowardly.
Basically our the new signins have been sidelined mostly and not integrated.

The other problems is fitness to me, we played few games in 3 days cycle and some players (especially Thuram and Yildiz) already look completely exhausted.

The first issue with new signing has to be solved by Tudor, we cant accept another case when majority of new big signings are sold after one year.
The other one could be solved with the first one - if new signings are integrated he should be able to rotate more and not exhaust the player so much.
