I would also argue that he was forced to get conservative tactically once it was certain they couldn’t drop any more points. And it was also the middle of the season. I think once he gets a full summer we’ll see an even more aggressive side. He is not a conservative manager by nature, he wants that gegenpress. We saw a watered down version of it.
The penultimate game of the season we were doing great pressing and were imposing our game on the opposition like we've not seen in years.

I commented in the live thread that it was the best football we'd played in years and everybody funny reacted lol but I was serious.

So much pessimism around Tudor. Sorry he's not glamorous and sparkly. He's an ugly, rough looking cunt which is exactly what I want our vibe to be.

Roberto Mancini : “I never heard from Inter but I had a spoken to Juventus months ago but now they have their coach Tudor, who has done well” “Next season I think that Napoli is the favorite to win Serie A, especially given their financial situation. But watch out for Juventus and Tudor!”

Just to put things in perspective:
Tudor arrives at Juve after matchday 29. Juve has 52 points, 12 fewer than Inter at the top of the table.
At that moment, the standings read: Inter 64, Napoli 61, Atalanta 58, Bologna 53, Juve 52 (outside the Champions League spots), Lazio 51, Roma 49, Fiorentina 48, Milan 47. All within a 5-point range.
Just two matches earlier, we were in the Champions League zone, 3 points behind Atalanta, 5 ahead of Bologna, 2 ahead of Lazio, 7 ahead of Fiorentina, and 9 and 11 ahead of Roma and Milan respectively.
From a situation of relative calm, we plummeted down the table and were being chased closely by the others.
On top of the long-term injuries (Bremer and Cabal), as soon as Tudor arrived, Cambiaso got injured (on matchday 30 and again on 36), Gatti (on matchday 31, out for 6 games), Koopmeiners (on 33), Vlahovic (on 34), Kelly (on 35). Even Mbangula and Perin got injured — just for fun. Two players were sent off, Yildiz and Kalulu, both suspended for 2 matches, out of the 9 coached by Tudor.

Despite all this, Tudor managed to get 18 points and finish 4th.

In my opinion, this isn’t “achieving nothing” — it’s achieving an excellent result given the circumstances he faced.

He saved not only last season but this one coming by dragging us up to top 4.

Welcome Mister, continue your good work please
