Other than rotate the squad what does he do exactly? Diet plan, masseuse, take the squad for jogs over country?

We couldn't break shit in the early minutes of the game. I'd understand the fitness argument if we played great until the end of the first half. Plus Udinese plays every three games too. Even when we were tired with Allegri we were winning against minnows unless the scudetto was clinched (In January we play each 3 games almost)
Playing every three games, not fair blabla. Just more excuses

That pandemic excuse doesnt fly. First we were just as shit before the break. 2nd, does the break affect all clubs equally? No but those with a massive squad like us definitely have an advantage over those who barely have a decent starting 11. A crisis like this should widen the gap between us and Inter/Lazio or any other Serie A team not lessen it. Juve being this poor despite our squad size and quality is further proof that this guy should be sacked.
I feel as if the players are throwing the games to get him the sack while still winning the scudetto lol

Sorri bro, but making a team press high up the pitch, all game, while leading 1 0, 2 0, when you have 3 matches in a week is the definition of stupidity.
As you pointed out, a good Italian Seria a coach, Sarri is not, to close the results, so why is he still our coach. A great club coached by an average coach.
We run the risk of dragging us with him, into mediocrity.

There is more to our fitness than simply what happens on the training ground.
We are playing in the middle of the Italian summer every 3 days in the exact same way we would if we were once a week in Autumn. We absolutely had to adjust our approach and even if it wasn't the current situation we should not be running like headless chickens when leading games. The tactic should be simple, keep the ball and make the opposition do the running, particularly when leading.
Sarri had ample opportunity to rotate the squad, get minutes in the players he is now drafting in and relying on long before now. The games against Lecce, Bologna, Genoa and Torino were perfect opportunities. Managing the squad better also would have helped with suspensions which would again have reduced the reliance on unfit players.
He rarely has used 5 subs regardless of us being ahead in games (although given our 'blackouts' maybe he was on to something here).
It is ridiculous that the largest, most expensive squad and one of the highest paid management teams in Italy cannot cope with playing in the current situation when Milan, Atalanta and Sassuolo can.

Doesnt every manager have assistants, which he brought with him, who handle fitness?
Either way we have far bigger squad than the likes of Sassuolo or Udinese, far better players, so the fitness issue for those lost points shouldnt be an excuse. And it has been a pattern this season, since its very start, take a lead, players switch off mentally and then we concede. This isnt happening all of a sudden.

Ah, so he just draws x and os on the board and chews butts? His coaching stuff just sits there doing exactly nothing.
Come on, man. Fucking Pioli uses the same 13-14 players, I guess he masseuses each and every one of them and jogs over the country lol. Same for De Zerbi, and Gasp, and Gotti.
Can we borrow Gotti for a masseuses session?

What we do exactly opposite of that, if we really do that we will ended up winning the game. This scudetto if our players really want it, they will run their ass so fast. They dont feel the fatigue if they really want it
Just watch Atalanta vs Milan, maybe you can see what team that really wants scudetto looks like
We already win scudetto too much, the players take it for granted. The only way to clinch it is to win against Sampdoria, before it is to late and it is becoming hard for us to win it

Agreed. We are an aging and injury-prone squad. Add to that that some of our players tend to get suspended and we quickly go from a 23-player squad to a 14-15 player squad. This is what he has to work with, but so did Allegri prior to him. I'd like to see him manage a game better than he has. If we are exhausted, make tactical changes so that we don't leave an ocean of space between the lines. Drop back, preserve energy and it's easy to hit a mediocre team like Udinese on the counter with players such as Costa, Dybala, and Ronaldo up front. Know when to press and when to sit back a little bit. However, this only really applies to our drop in performance in second halves and is not an excuse for our mediocre performance in the first half.
This isn't FIFA. We have players of certain profiles. We don't have a team of bentancours all over the pitch. A smart coach would defend at 1 0 nil while keeping possession and tiring the opponents(we play 3 matches in a week, 3rd or 4th week in a row) , and try to pounce on the counter. We have a fresh Costa and cuadrado to make it work.
But our genius coach knows better. His squad management and tactical awerness is zero.

Performances are one thing, but this meltdown is about results. Personally I didn't expect good performances this season, there are not the right conditions, right players. So many technical issues.
Still, before the lockdown from 26 rounds we had won 20 games, lost 3, conceded 26, 63 points. We're down on almost everything since the restart, aside from goals scored. I haven't looked across the board but I'd imagine goals scored have gone up across the league because the games are more open and players are dead.
Again, the squad size available isn't big right now. There's no point in including so many players who are injured, or even half fit.
Quite clearly we should be doing better, I'm not going to argue that. But the problem is today you have a bunch of fans tuning in to see a scudetto clincher and instead we got punked by a relegation battler, so people are even more annoyed than usual.
