Right now I'd take the best Italian Football Manager coaches instead of this guy. It's sad but true.

IF what we saw today is fantastic football 
then ranieri is officially loco.....
then ranieri is officially loco.....
What we witnessed today was one of the worst performances of the season, and yet ranieri comes out and says he is satisfied, if the manager lacks ambition then this is surely rubbing off on the team. If he is satisfied, why should they try any harder????
Wow, RANIERI THE MAD... i cant believe the fact he was happy after the game 
i mean, i can see juve finishing the season in 10 place and ranieri saying : Well, juve made a good season and im happy because we finished in the midde of the table, maybe for the next season we will play UEFA CUP... Please LIPPI, COME BACK TO HOME , PLAY SOME FOOTBALL AND BUY SOME GOOD PLAYERS
Juve must have a winner mentality, ranieri speak that he likes the mentality of the team, but my question is, WHY cant he have the same mentality? WHY hes happy winning 1 point, drawing in home against cagliari, impressive, maybe Ranieri isnt that bad but hes just not for juve,

Andy Vinman and Lion, I dont have to see the game to be frustrated that a team that is 3rd in the league cannot beat the bottom placed team.
Do i continue to blame, Capello, Deshamps and Ranieri for every performance from a bunch of players that earn more in a week than most people do in a life time?
They ought to shoulder some responsibilty once on a while. Ranieri is not the greatest of managers and he can be blamed in part for the ills at Valencia as they have not recovered from the Fiore, Corradi and marco Di Vaio episode.
I have never rated him since he left Valencia to go to Chelsea and he takes the blame for some performances but i am sorry if the likes of palladino can get into the Italian squad then surely playing as a right midfielder against Cagliari should not pose that much of a problem.
The amount of players that play out of position is a lot and I am sorry I dont buy into that excuse, Rooney does it, Gerrard does it, Ronaldo now plays everywhere for man united, Seedorf is played out of position as is Totti and countless others.
Palladino is 21 or thereabouts so its not an excuse whatsoever, these guys should be doing better and surely against cagliari we have every right to feel they should.
I just wrote an article about whether are any great tacticians about, quite frankly I dont think there are. Ranieri is just a part of a bad bunch of managers but I dont think he should be getting less marks than the players that played.
I am dubious though seeing Nedved getting as high a mark as 8.5 in a game that Juventus drew at home to Cagliari and its not like reading reports that he was amazing

Plus they should have heard that Roma was trailing 0-2 at half-time. I think that would be a motive to close on that 2nd spot.
I did not see the game, but read the ratings on Goal.com
Nocerino was 5.0 and playing bad, and Tiago had 6.0 . And you pul out Tiago and put another midfielder (Sisoko) without passing capabilities... Maybe coach thought Nocerino would start playing, but it did not happened.
I think that our youngsters have to do much better. They have to step out of the shade of the seniors. I think they count on our champion to pull out the game.
After a teenager gave as a brace plus others made assists I really think that our youngster have to do more !! These games with low-rated (on the table) teams are perfect for them, but... it does not happened yet. Cagliari, Siena, Empoli are not a motive for DP, Nedved, Camo ... Someone (maybe it is coach job, is it?) has to take out of them...
great that Neved is back scoring :scarf:
here is his rating
"Nedved 8.5: Absolutely brilliant. Best player on the pitch by a country mile. Some delightful skill and touches in the first half, scored with a trademark drive in the second, and tried everything to drag his team to victory. "
we should make a clone of him
:scarf: :scarf: :scarf:
P.S. Obviously motive is not a problem for Nedved though

CR has a few excuses, the ones you used and a few more, like key players being injured, suspended etc
There is a point on what Denco says, that the difference between us and Cagliary is so great, that our players should have won, even without a coach on the bench.
I agree that the coaches influence on everything is kind of over rated in here,
either it be tactics or transfer policy, but this time, more than other time CR is to blame. I dont know if you missed my post Denco:
CR acts like he is trying to put a handicap to our team sometimes and this was the case today. Denco has a point here, that our team should have won than game, even with that handicap and i ll remind you here that when we were cornered,
we managed to equalize within a minutes time!! That means we had the capacity to score at will, but we didnt...for that, the team is to blame as a whole, but that is not an excuse to forget CR's mistakes Denco, the man is a permanent threat to our efforts/plans.

I don't feel like discusing the game.. Its just too ... how do I put it... tiring??
We have a right and left back who don't know how to cross, a CB who is not supposed to be a CB a midfield that think that a seccessful pass is when the ball goes to the opponant and we want our strikers to perform miricles.
We have the best line of forwards in the world of you ask me. For these players to be able to score as much as they are doing this season with almost no support for a craetive midfield then they must be extraordinary.
I can't put alot of blame on the coach because he doesn't have the luxary of choice that coaches of the likes of Ancelotti and Mancini have. Sometimes, the only positive comment one could say is "good effort"..
For an example Molinaro. He runs alot. He is a left back he should do so, but in the same time 101 leftback tells us he should be the best person on the field when it comes to crossing. He could literally be the worst. The only 2-3 crosses that were decent this game came from Camoranesi. And for the past 4 months or so I cannot remember us sucessfully crossing the ball using one of our sidebacks.

mate no it wouldn't be impossible,
lippi or mourinho would have brought w.c players, dropped molinaro + sali by now and given the team a bollocking for drawing against bottom of the table and instilled a winning, creative motive in our team.
at the moment we have about as much creativity as a piece of shit hanging off a stick.
