Aren't we being a little too dramatic? I mean we're 3rd in Serie A, if it wasn't for some dubious ref choices we would have been even higher. We played all the strongest teams and didn't loose. The winter break is coming and we're the only ones who have a chance of not hitting a slump after it. Inter and Roma will most likely loose a points because of CL and we can find our chance there.
Sure, our performances aren't the best but that's to be expected after everything. We gotta keep picking up points and stay in the top 4, bide our time and perhaps we'll see an opening to get higher on the table. We're not serious Scudetto contenders anyway, 3rd place or 2nd would be excellent for us and we're on the right track for it IMO.
We're far from impressive but this squad has just started taking shape, it needs some quality reinforcements and adjustments. We need to build on what we have not start all over again.
And didn't we play Empoli with our second string squad? Come on..
