Sucking major cock is a bit of a hyperbole. I think we can agree that the general level of the team dropped after Christmas, since we dropped from 2nd to 7th in that part of the season. He did fall a bit off the radar, but in the second half of the season he was our only attacking threat. He still created goals, teams just figured that they could double or triple mark him since we had no dangerous players on the left. Sucking major balls is so far off, but I guess it sums up your general limited knowledge of football.
Italian teams (after xmas) didn't give him the space for him to use his speed. His kick and chase tactic just didn't work anymore. His left foot is just something to stand on and all he had going for him was his pace, but even that (smart defending) was taken away and he became useless. And you do bring up a good point, he was pretty much the only attacking threat we had. Amauri wasn't scoring and we had a CM playing LM

howler

so teams really only had to neutralize our right side. We had no wing backs able to support either side of the attack.
It just didn't work out anymore, no hard feelings...he will do better in a league that gives the wings more space.

Too bad, always liked the player.
Conte partly deserves the blame for krasic's free fall but this formation was never going to work out with him
Thank you for the contributions Milos, and good luck!
Whhhhhhhaaaaaaatttttttttttttttttttttt?!?!
Conte has this team fighting for the title and absolutely no thanks to Krasic. Krasic is in the position he is no through no fault of his own limitations. He just isn't dynamic to play in this setup. Why do you always called him "straight line"? He is just a one trick pony and unfortunately it just didn't work anymore.
People that blame Conte for his free fall is just insanity. He stopped being krasic a the Xmas before Conte took over...hell, Conte was in an entirely different city at the time. If anything, Conte tried using him in the 424...and krasic was given one final chance to prove himself and he failed. We all saw it, Conte gave him the shot to prove himself and he failed.
If anything, Conte deserves praise for even trying to get Krasic back to form in the begining of the season.
