I cannot really agree with the people here saying ranieri is not to blame.
YES,
he did had a lot of injuries
he did what subs most of us would have welcomed
BUT:
He does not do so every match. That is exactly the reason why most of the people here banish his tactics so often at first place. Plus it has been already our second crisis..And WHAT A CRISIS THAT IS...
There were times when conceeding 5 goals in a home and away games against Milan + Roma/Inter would have been a failed season. Now we did so against Udinese and Cagliari and we are quite confy with that, given club's official statements('sorry only for the poor fans')
Also, there was this injury crisis the whole damn winter transfer season. Ranieri for once, since he was aware of his objectives, should have said if he needed someone. And while I am quite aware that is hard to get champions in the winter window(but quite not impossible as crisis-hit Real Madrid had shown), there is no problem in aquiring the services of players that will make the victory against Udinese or Cagliari.
Not to mention selling those that obviously cannot.
We hit the 3rd spot, but we are on the track with CL spot ambitions, aight?
WHAT A DREAM TEAM....
Milan with playboy-star Beecham are netting goals like on a Playstation, but we can't do it with our overcommited and hard-working team.
If it was Diego that we needed and it was those 25 mil. euros that were the 'big' difference then Secco should have made it worked. Because, frankly, I cannot take anymore of this soup of poor-piss of 'They were great opponents'-type excuses.
And a shitty defender doesn't cost 50 million euros in my books. Might get one as well....
Forza Juve.
