OK Here's my thoughts.
1. We were still shaky as hell. We can only attack with confidence if we have no worries in defence, and thats not happening right now. Its not that the players are not creative, its that the mids are not free to attack anytime they please.
And I dont blame them, I blame the defence. We should be able to cope without Tudor and Montero. And I dont blame Lippi. He brought us the scudetto last season, and given time and the necessary resources he will bring us even more.
And besides I think its time Serie A teams learn to keep their coaches for more than 2 seasons now. Only stability will bring success in Europe, productive campaigns and financial profits.
Anyway going back to the point, the attack, I dont blame them; sometimes they play, sometimes they miss.
The problem in attack is, as we all know- not enough midfield support. Its easy to mark 2 players that attack all the time. Marking 6 is a little harder...get the point?
The problem, and something I never expected to be our concern:
THE DEFENCE.
