Mmh kinda reminds me of a team
exactly. and inda spent almost a decade by trying to pick a coach they thought finally fit them, while they had much deeper lying issues than a coach. they spent money on duds like there was no tomorrow, and it unfortunately rings a bell... that's why we should start at creating a stable management and a good recruitment strategy first, and not believe for a second that a coach, and i mean any coach, including my dearest max would miraculously solve all of our issues.
"our squad is good enough to win the league" my ass. our best midfielder is rabiot, and he shows up twice per months. bentancur regressed below the worst poulsen levels, mckennie isn't very good on the ball and i'm being very polite, our 70m signing can't regularly play 90 minutes and despite being labelled "unpressable" by some tuz xperds, he gives away the ball too many times, our only world class defender is de ligt (we used to have at least 3 of them), cuadrado is a natural winger and he's our best fullback (and best player) by a mile, dybala thinks he's bigger than the club, at least 10 players earn way to much compared to their actual contribution, we don't have a ball winner in the middle of the pitch and we never had the intention to sign one lately (besides emre can), we had two good homegrown players and now have zero, alex sandro played multiple seasons without an actual fitting sub to help him out, etc. you know the drill.
this squad is an unbalanced mess. with all due respect to both gattuso and those who promote his appointment, a motivator won't be enough. far from it, actually.
i'd replace/sack paratici before pirlo and the obviously useless players like berna or ramsey. we simply need a better strategy and much better success rate on the transfer market. and then we can have a coach. i bet our next coach wouldn't last for more than 2 seasons if the core of the team remains the same.
