Firing the coach is a disaster.
We've JUST settled down and found some semblance of an identity.
WORSE still, the players are behind him.
Of course all disasters can be repaired....but it's less costly and painful to avert them in the first place.
The fans who blindly support all of the shit B&G do are highly annoying.
When is football going to win over someone's ego/need to poorly disguise their own failures by throwing blame where it does not belong?
A blind fool stranded on the moon could have seen that many many many players we bought would have never done well here. It's OK to get a few or even many wrong....but your successes must be more than your fodders. But even the term "fodder" now has a wide spectrum in our squad.
Players like Bertolacci Zapata Montolivo, Abate, Honda etc are actually "fodder" in the context of an ambitious team targeting a CL place....but the fact that they are not absolute shit often gets conflated with them being good. Montolivo has been doing generally quite well and Berto came into a decent run of form....where he wasn't total CRAP...and us being fans were naturally glad for it
But We don't really have many class players in our team. Donnaruma, Romagnoli, Bonaventura and Bacca. NONE of these guys are World Class except perhaps Bacca, as an out-and-out striker.....and his form is dipping a bit.
A decent-ish management would have assessed our NEEDS and built a squad around the coach's vision....which in reality, we've almost NEVER done....even in the Ancelotti days. The difference with Carlo is that while he might not have had the pieces he wanted, he had enough talent to perform well in makeshift roles.
Nowadays we don't have this level of talent.....We NEED a Class or even World Class CAM.....There is no place for Balotelli Boateng and Poli on a team that wants CL place. Honestly on a real CL team, guys like Berto, Honda and even Montolivo would struggle for a place, let alone start.
But instead of addressing the NEEDS of the TEAM....we are once again looking for someone else to weave straw into gold
