the other day he said that he didn't like long balls because they were too risky. yesterday one of the key moments of the match was that 40-50m long ball from bentancur to dybala.
the other day he said that ramsey can play trequartista, while the player clearly wasn't comfortable doing it. then he moved ramsey to mezz'ala, and rambo started scoring + assisting.
the other day he insisted on high pressure and very high defensive line while the team clearly wasn't capable. yesterday he moved the team a bit back, with less pressure on the opponent, with a defensive line closer to our goal, with the mids not leaving too much space before the defenders, thus making the team more compact then ever this season, and despite some defensive errors here and there, we looked like a more or less solid team again.
the other day he kept playing pjanic, no matter how bad his form was, while he should have been benched months ago. yesterday he finally made this incredibly hard decision, and our midfield clicked again. playing our most in-form players might help, more news at 11.
the other day he kept playing bonucci, cuadrado, matuidi and alex sandro, while they clearly needed some rest.
the other day he said that neither of dybala and ronaldo are suited to play as wingers. guess what happened after the dybala-costa sub.
etc...
let's not try to blame the players for not following his orders. it was time HE adapted to the squad finally. he could still consider relegating costa to an impact sub role, keeping the team compact for 90 minutes above making 800 quick passes (remember when he said something like i don't like to defend, i rather concede on the counter, my god...), or getting pjanic in form before playing him again.
