I think some players are playing based on reputation, more than merit. Rugani deserves to play more often, and I don't ever want to see Sturaro start a game for us again, not even against Crotone. The fact that he gets as much game time as he does is a testament to how pathetic our midfield has become.
I won't be surprised if we lose our next game at home against Lazio, and get eliminated by Milan in the Coppa. This is how inconsistent and fragile this team has become. Other teams have started believing, and we can attribute that to our approach and lack of professionalism at times.
