ranieri is doing the best he can given the limitations of the group.
I don't think Mourinho would have done much better. Probably better, but not much better. He wouldnt win a scudetto too
Yes, Ranieri has doing great jobs to get second place with a lot of our players injury
Even in condition like this Capello, Lippi, or Mourinho must be in hard time when a lot of key players injury
but i want to tell is CR has no character in his tactics and plays
he can't be like Mou, Lippi, or Capello to request the player he needs who fit in his tactic and formation..
I remember he failed when he buy a lot of players like Veron, Mutu, Crespo (Chelsea), Fiore, Corradi (Valencia) and Almiron, Andrade (now)
I remember when Lippi replaced Ancelotti and Zidane go to Madrid in 2001 and Pippo to Milan, he can request player like Nedved, Buffon, or Thuram and we become scudetto again those year
Also with Capello, he can manage to bring Emerson, Ibra, or Canna
If we can compare the money we spent by Capello, Lippi, and CR is almost the same.. Even when Lippi spent a lot of money in transfer but he can manage a lot of money to get by Zidane, Pippo, or Van der Sar sale
but look for now...
the formation we have on midfield: Nedved - Marchi - Momo - MM/Camo is what we have in Serie B.. with Zanetti replaced by Momo..
Also for our defensive line, our best players like Legro - Chiellini is what we have too in Serie B
I imagine if we still with Deschamps who has character and request player based on what tactics or formation he wants to play, might be there will Lassana Diarra in CM and others, better than Andrade, Almiron or Tiago
But our management sacked him
Sorry to be out of topic on this Udine - Juve match
but i really upset week after week when saw Juve played
when there is no replacement for Nedved our great player in the past
or there is no substituted for Camo when he is injured
or when i see our fullback is only average
and i can't stop to imagine if CR and our management realize that
