Why are we blaming Ranieri instead of our comical defence? Ranieri changed the game in our favour by giving Palladino a free role in the second half but we managed to fuck it up. Noce for Camo was a bad move but I can understand it because he didn't want Camo to get hurt.
But you can't play three defensive midfielders with 35 minutes till the final whistle. Our defense was horrible, but so were Ranieri's tactics. Ok, he didn't want Camo to get hurt, but he could've put Tiago instead of Nocerino. And also giving Palla a free role doesn't really help Ranieri, as we all know that Palladino is not that kind of player who can make a difference in a match.

You mean Prandelli?
But it was Ranieri's fault 25 minutes left in the match you can't just take off 2 playmakers and expect to create any threat at goal.. We were just asking to lose..

Edit: Not asking, begging!

the defenders themselves. its not Ranieri's fault theyre idiots and thats all he has to work with.
But it is Ranieri's fault that he put Grygera (an average player btw) who is naturally a right back in a CB position, and leaving a natural CB on the bench (Stendardo).

grygera is a disater in central defence , he should never play there very insecure , coupled with leggro , they are the worst duo in serie a

it seems like whenever we're playing well and raneri makes a substitution it never ends up benefiting us. He always ends up bringing on nocerino who does nothing, and it always ends up costing us some how. Also, somebody tell me why our defense just let that ball drop down instead of clearing it away first time?

regardless, how fucking hard is it to head the ball out instead of trying to catch it in your shorts(which it seemed like they were trying to do)

you could put someone in a wheelchair on the pitch and they would have won that ball, the position of the player is no excuse for how that play was handled.

we had Stendardo on the f*ckin' bench who's a real CB unlike Grygera ffs!!! Ranieri's reason not to play was because he didn't have time to gel with Legro for the offside trap and sh*t. COME ON!!! The only gel with Grygera is the one in his hair f*ck!

Fiorentina pretty much imposed their game on us from very early on in the 1st half and we just couldn't cope. Our play was slow, predictable and uninspiring. I lost count of the time we game the ball away, especially from unforced errors.

I'm not absolving Ranieri from any of the blame, because I think he's a 3rd rate manager, but apart from maybe 4 players, we're just not good enough and now it's really starting to catch up with us.
