I voted for 3rd option, and still believe that no one with this team would give us more. It will be suicide if we would replace Ranieri now.
1st we shall loose 4th spot for sure, and 2nd no one who is decent would take this job, not only cos of quality of our players at the moment and cos its March , but also cos referee decisions against us. If not for referee’s mistakes we should be 9 points ahead. How about that?
Also we have just average team, if only one of our first 11 is injured or suspended and that is true.
I do criticize CR for negative, defending tactics such as against Roma, when we had Nocerino who did not play well last 4-5 games - even it did worked as we saved 3 points, and against Fiorentina when we had very similar scenario. However we lost points to them cos of individual mistakes in defence not cos of change of tactics or bad subs. People here talking like they really do know what is happening on the training ground, in dressing room etc.
But I don’t blame him for not picking up Tiago or Almiron before, as they haven’t been requested by him, even Didier did not want them, and “someone” still signed them..
This is true as Didier said it by himself in one of his interviews around January time when he talked about Newcastle job.
So don't blame CR for those flops, actually, those bad names are from Goal.com and all this negative talk mainly coming from BS media guys.
If there is no debatable discussion and turning things upside down on their forum, those media guys would not survive.
And one more thing, CR was playing Tiago and Almiron enough times to prove if they are capable or not, I think 11 and 9 times they played. Momo who WAS Ranieri request, played 6 times and 2 times he was best player.. So why none of other 2 guys could not do the same???
When we play bad we blame Ruineri, Molignaro, Paladingo, Shitsoko— well now most of u like Momo and im glad as he was good so far, I just hope some of u admit ur mistakes in judging the player even before seeing him how he fits in formation.
If we don't have Zebina, Legro, Chiellini ,Molinaro as our back 4 we shall have problems for sure. Molinaro is best LB we can play at the moment, as if play Chiellini we would have even bigger whole in defence than.
If we don't have Camo fit we are nothing in midfield. If we don’t have Nedved in, situation is even worse. And I ask you now, tell me how many times we had those 2 players playing together? Of course Pala cant fit the bill as yet but can u really trust Tiago after all those games and stupid comments?
DP is running again out of steam, yes he can do free kicks but not much more than that at the moment. Trez has been quiet, as I used to see him running up and down across the pitch. IQ is still there somewhere …
How good our team is really?
What about referees? We got robbed minimum 9 points, is that CR’s fault too?
What Buffon said in his last interview? Its only players fault , not Ranieri’s, as they got too up and high after Roma’s victory. But our kind friends and Goal.com forgot to mention that Gigi trust more to CR than to his defenders, and Gigi should not be afraid of anyone so he could say it straight!?…
And that is how things gets steered up.
As I said earlier, most of conceded goals were not cos of CR’s tactics but cos of individual mistakes. We had bad spells with other coaches too, did we?
Yes, for f@$£ sake change him, but you will do much worse than well for us, and is that what you really want?
