Come on, you cant just hide everything behind the injures. Id understand if Chimenti would be the only replacement for Buffon and etc.
This year we have ENOUGH cover. Sure its good to have all the players ready, but i am not too sure Trez can get back to first XI. We hardly play 4-3-3.
We have enough cover in theory. 2 players for every position.
But when you always have minimum 7 injuries and when many times you have both players who play in the same position injured/suspended, then it IS a problem.
I'm not hiding behind these injuries. It is a fact that we felt them hard, especially at the start of the season when the new players were getting used to the system, looking for a balance, experimenting with the team trying to find the best XI and trying to gel. That's where we lost most of the pts.
As for the Chimenti part...Manninger did great, i love the guy, but it still stands that Buffon wouldn't have conceded 2 of the goals Manninger conceded, which coincidently, happened on matches where we lost points (Inter and Lazio).
About Trez..... resting Amauri, putting another deadly striker when Amauri can't get things going, putting a third attacker when we're going for the win in the last 20 minutes. You can't say that there is no difference if we have or don't have a player like Trezeguet.
