This poll makes no sense.

A) Form is related to players...when players aren't performing the form is down. Both are the same thing.
B) What really is to blame is the poor pitch when we play at home from the rugby matches of last year. The ground hasn't fully recovered hence our form is disoriented. Second, the lack of adequate streams online to watch the games and for that I blame every single one of you.

So you think what I'm saying is a myth?

Mourinho used the same system, too.

But go ahead folks, overlook what I have to say.
No, I don't think we can overlook what you said, and the team not having enough time to gel is indeed part of the problem.
But in percentage i'd give it 20% of the whole problem and i'll give more than 20% to Ciro Ferrara.

Juve is a disgrace to the way Italian football should be played.
Italian are all about how you move without the ball and positioning which our players looks like forgot all the principles of doing so. Our player don’t run correctly on the pitch because they have no grasp what so ever where to go. They look completely lost on the field and that’s the major problem caused by the coach. Our passing game is awful because when the players are staying still and not moving you won’t have an opening teammate to pass to, and that’s what difference between a Real coach who guide the movement of the ball/players on the pitch and an average coach we have now. Coaching is more than just picking the players and the formations. I have to agree also our players lack the passion and they look relax as if they playing on a Sunday pub league. We need somebody to light some fire under those lazy asses and show them how he wants them to move around.

If we think we are playing bad now with the amount of new players in our team, what the hell will we be like when we sign a new LB/RB/CB, Camo replacement, and Striker?

We clicked well in the beginning of the season, now we just suck so I don't know how it has anything to do with chemistry when they were playing well in the beginning and now they aren't. With chemistry, it would make sense the other way around.

Management.

It's not like they had to sign Ferrara who is completely unproven. Just the fact that Milan did the same doesn't make it a good idea. You can blame Ciro all you want, but after all he's a blank sheet. It's not as if he came to this job with a strong reputation and then failed us. He just never was competent, and whoever hired him made a huge mistake. We all thought it was gutsy, but in the end..

And before that we had Ranieri. Yet another problem coach, and the management had no idea what to do about it. Then they replaced him with a less able coach.

It's pretty clear the people at the top don't know what they're doing.

Managment too.

We are Italy's biggest club. Our loser rivals have won the league too many times in a row now. Don't get me Ciro Ferrara as a coach and sign better players.

No doubt about that. I always hold that as a constant when talking about the club.

That was three fucking years ago. Seriously.

Like I said, if you or anyone else bothered to pay attention to what I wrote, and I challenge anyone to dispute this, is that this year's team is vastly better than last year's squad, but they are markedly worse. They are losing matches this year that are absolutely embarrassing. And last year's team was without Buffon for a couple of Months
And after another 3 years the effect will be smaller, but you can't say that it has got nothing to do with our team not being at the very elite of Europe at the time. So some percentage goes to the Calciopoli i guess :D

Seems like you didn't read my post too, since I mentioned that Ciro and the team is heavily under-performing for the moment, basically agreeing with you. But at the moment there is hardly any instance in the club, that doesn't deserve the blame, the real question is - who will step up? Will Ciro have the balls to go for a win against Inter, will some players have the balls to finally start delivering, what about team spirit? I'd put my money on our old guard inspiring a win against Inter (cause I currently can't see any other way we could beat them without some monster-performance's from well known guys) and continuing for some weeks with high emotions, but the heavy responsibility lies on Ciro, to fix our problems in long term.

Hard to give percentages in this case because we aren't at the training sessions. But certainly a conglomeration of problems exist.

Coaches and player performances.

Basically, we can just round to the nearest integer. Which, in this case, is Zero for the entire equation.
Take the absolute value of 0 to find the nearest positive and we are still left at zero. Basically we are in a problem where no solution exists because if you multiply or divide by any number between 0 and infinity you still are left with zero. I'm breaking out the TI86 and Pythagorean theorem to find the area of our problem where there in lies our solution...mass. Molinaro is a black whole with negative gravity that is sucking the life our of our club.
