I would like to hear the opinions of different players on how Tiago has performed in practice since the start of the season, just to see if good old Ranieri was speaking the truth about him. Tiago wasn't bad against Empoli and Reggina, but now the player has just gotten worse. I blame that on Ranieri for beating him down like a dog, but Ranieri is an idiot anyway.
you should really get your own mind straight. you were one of the few being quite happy with the arrival of that idiot at juve.
tiago himself has admitted that it all wasn't good enough in the beginning, that he had real problems adapting to the league, so it's not like CR screwed him over ever since his arrival. tiago hasn't shown his true colours in italy yet, it's simple as that (and i'm being very polite on him here). surely CR got frustrated with what was supposed to be the main inforcement for this season and obviously he made it clear that tiago wasn't the type of player he was aiming for, but up late he has spoken in defence of tiago on a regular basis, saying that he was finally adapting to the italian style of football, that tiago was now doing difficult things easily in training and also that he would regularly give him a chance now (which he did since) but still tiago doesn't deliver one bit, i simply see no contribution to the team. CR didn't sub him twice at halftime because he hates him, but simply because tiago's performances are not good enough.
for sure, it's not a love story between the two of them but if we get rid of one of them then it would definitely be tiago. if i see him play now i have the impression that we bought some supposed talent from some youth team in a forgotten country. he played in portugal, england and france ffs, he's supposed to have some football experience.
I could not agree more with Pevels comment. Also in regards to Andy's comment
..I would like to hear more what other players have to say...
well every Juve player will say supportive things about their colleagues. It's a common sense, for most of us.
You know, when you have experience players such as DP, Neddy, Tiago, Gigi etc. they need more manager than a coach, while younger players such as Chiellini, Noce etc, they would need coach more than a manager.
So CR is not here to teach Tiago how to keep a ball, how to distribute it, or how to score, and what to say to Portuguese papers...Tiago, DP and other senior players should know this already. CR can tell them about tactic, how to play as a group and to manage them as he observe them every day and can see what is missing or not..
Believe me Andy everyone want Tiago to be success, not only you and few others lads.
Tiago had lots of chances to shine, and he needed only one superb game to prove us all wrong, but he did not deliver unfortunately. I would rather give a chance to Almiron form now, depending on formation of course. Let him warm up the bench maybe it will make him hungrier. I mean last game, he was running away from a ball, and his job was to connect defense and attack.
You fixated idea of Tiago as your super hero, and Ranieri as an idiot and you cant see anything else..
I am sick of seeing how badly we perform every time Tiago plays.
Its time to change. Lets hope from Sampdoria match..
Forza Juve
