Don't disagree with any of this at all.
I'm saying on top of his incompetence we didn't make the right signings to support his ideas.

this season's failures are down to many things, like injuries (with bremer we conceded 1 goal in 7 or 8 matches!), lack of depth within the squad (especially fullbacks and cf), inexperience of the squad, bad winter mercato even considering kolo muani and veiga, bad squad management by both motta and giuntoli, some players failing to show up (vlahovic, luiz, koop were supposed to be key players), lack of ambition, and motta's tactical stubbornness. the latter was shocking. while defending was kind of acceptable in many cases, we just stopped playing in the attacking 3rd of the pitch. sideways passes, futile possession, reliance on individual moves, it was painful to watch. and then there were those few last games before his dismissal, fucking hell. motta looked completely out of ideas and control. that was not leadership but resignation and acceptance of a bad situation
and i genuinely think his start wasn't bad at all. before bremer's injury all we needed was a more effective vlahovic. then it went mostly downhill
yeah we could have used a zirkzee kind of player, but also a coach for the majority of his tenure lol
