Sarri should make the hard call of rotating Higuain and Ronaldo instead.

If he continues to insist on 4-3-1-2, need Ramsey in there asap especially when he links up so well with Dybala.

Ideally,

Szczesny
Danilo/Cuadrado-Bonucci-De Ligt-Sandro
Pjanić
Bentancur-Matuidi/Rabiot
Ramsey
Dybala-Cristiano/Higuain​

Every fucking coach has their own favourite fucking player who regardless of how bad he plays, he is constantly given a chance. Sarri's is Bernardeschi. In any of the other top teams, Bernardeschi would have been benched two months ago, and not only benched, but Mandzukiced. My head hurts from facepalming everytime Berna does some stupid pass or move or make a stupid decision.

yeah, often we don't. we created some after dybala entered the pitch, but look at the match against atleti: they had more shots, more shots on target, we were simply saved by wojtek and some sheer magic from dybala. or the match against atalanta: they had 22 shots, 8 on target, while we finished the match with 16/5, and if higuain wasn't so clinical, we could have easily drawn or lost that one too. also, about our luck: koulibaly own goal in the stoppages, winning penalty in the 96th minute against genoa? wins by one goal margins 12 times this season?

fact is that we're playing very, very close matches and running plenty of risks. we are lucky to have 36 points in 14 rounds. i'm not blaming it on sarri only, basically the whole team besides szczesny should absolutely do better than this.

i agree that not starting dybala when the next match is 6 days away was absolutely criminal though. at least sarri admitted that he gave a 50-min advantage to sassuolo.
Concur about the Atletico matches but there is also Napoli. That's only 3 games where we were out-shot so to speak. If you look at the breakdown in numbers we still outshoot the other teams by a decent margin but when you look at "shots on target" they are much closer together which tells me our boys in attack ain't clinical enough which goes with what I'm saying about needing to be clinical and/or put games to bed earlier on in the match.

Look at this LOL:

Juventus
http://www.legaseriea.it/en/serie-a/teams/juventus/team-stats

(176 shots taken, 99 on target)

vs

Atalanta
http://www.legaseriea.it/en/serie-a/teams/atalanta/team-stats
(214 shots taken, 121 on target)

vs

Inter
http://www.legaseriea.it/en/serie-a/teams/inter/team-stats
(161 shots taken, 102 on target)

Inter has better shot accuracy while Atalanta are ballers.

Fuck it: Our defense is fine, should be the least of our worries. Still the best in the league. We are getting outscored by everyone else that's in the top 5. That's insane.

Yeah an inform Ronaldo will surely help I can't understand Sarri starting bernadeschi game after game Dybala has to start each and every game he is the only creative player we have at the moment

What is the alternatives ?

Ramsey , Costa all unreliable
CR7 cant play at the wing anymore ...

What is your solution ...?

By the way , i hate berna and no way we play other than 433 or 4312

Honestly, since Ronaldo signing and we have problems more than solutions or you can say, our weaknesses are exposed and the main problem which everyone expected to be solved last summer , the midfield is not solved and here we are , talk about same problem ...

One more thing , last season showed that we are near big disaster in defence and it was Fabio priority more than the mid

We have to accept what we see, that is the most we can do technically and financially

Next season we should focus on more on the mid and bye bye CR7 that helped us commercially

When DC & Ramsey are unfit, the choice is between Khedira & Berna. Pick your poison.

Khedira is Khedira. It's too bad Berna turned out this bad this year instead of improving.

yesterday we managed to concede after two blackouts. having the best defense overall is nice, and blackouts can also happen, but i'm getting a bit concerned about our defense too, especially by the absolute lack of rotation for the centre backs. i mean what do we expect? can bonucci and de ligt play without mistakes for a whole season? no chance, and it's normal. can you expect either demiral or rugani ( :scared: ) to step in when needed after not getting minutes for half a season? no chance, and it's normal.

if sarri can provide matuidi, tek and alex sandro with a break, then bonucci and de ligt deserve the same. backup cb's must start to play before defense becomes an issue.

Sarri must be terrified to try Demiral.

I don't think Ramsey works best as the trequartista. We grow quite soft with him there. For all the ineffectiveness of Bernardeschi attacking he does give us balance to play with 2 strikers. The last matches of Ramsey dropping to the mid 3 looked better.

Szczesny
Cuadrado - Bonucci - De Ligt - Alex Sandro
Ramsey - Pjanic - Bentancur
Bernardeschi/Costa
Dybala - Ronaldo/Higuain​

Basically we play like shit until one of Higuain or Dybala gets subbed on then we kick into gear,
so why don't we just start the game, get the ball and hoof it out, sub on Dybala or Gonzalo and play the whole game in gear

Virtually no one on the team seems to be able to play with Ronaldo. Based on last season, only 2 players come to mind who linked up well with him: Bernardeschi & Mandzukic.




He isn't? If you ask me he was in decline before we signed him. Doesn't mean he wont play a great game once in a while, but let's be honest here: how many truly great games has he played for us so far?

Devil's advocate: Ever since we signed Ronaldo, we have been steadily declining as a team.
He was in decline in Madrid, having in mind his overall game, and he still was a protagonist. What I'm saying is he's capable of doing much better than he's doing now. Denying that is pure revisionism.

Here is a season heatmap up untill november of Ronaldo under allegri last year "a good coach"




Now here is ronaldo one for Sarri up untill october (hard to find longer ones)



As you can see ronaldo is very little in the box and very little swapping sides just stuck rigid on the left side and thats the Difference between a good coach understanding how to use ronaldo and a bad one like Sarri. Ronaldo needs to sort hes own form out but dont tell me that Sarri isnt at fault for not using him right either.

As myself and others have noted in this thread, we play significantly better with Higuain/Dybala than we do when Ronaldo is in the lineup.

Unfortunately, Ronaldo is the only player who is too big to be benched.
