So either Gattuso is a god or we didnt have trash players like all the whiners suggested and shit on mercato. We did fuck up the attack but the rest was pretty legit. I still prefer a bumpy season like this to a squad full of montolivos and 2 WC players. I really hope this squad works and smartasses talking about squad building and chaotic transfers stfu forever.
A bit of column A, bit of column B. Rino is really good at motivating and man management. He gets everyone to buy in no matter whether they play a big or small role. We definitely have quality players that didn't find their groove under Montella. Too many tactical changes, no consistency proved to be the downfall. Once the players lost faith in Montella, there was nothing he could've done tactically, regardless of his ability.
It does seem however that Rino has better general training than Montella and that's noticeable. Under Montella this season our team often looked bereft of energy whereas under Rino we are fighting from start to final whistle.
I have a framed picture of Bakaye Traore on my nightstand next to my bed. It's purpose is to remind me of how bad everything be and that I should be thankful for what I got.
End the season solid and get 2-3 players in summer(SMS, Pulisic and I really don't care about the third if we get the first two) and attack Scudetto. Integrating 2-3 players is going to be a breeze after this season.
