I don’t think you’re being fair. I agree Pioli is the main culprit but you’re absolving the blame on our players entirely, I think they play a part.

You think Pioli is telling to Theo to look disinterested, to tell RLC to no having any defensive awareness and lose his man in corners so easily, or telling Leao to make those half arsed runs. He’s telling Leao to cross yes, but crosses that run to the moon or out of the pitch in pitiful ways?

Did he tell Maignan to come out of the halfway line and lose the ball with no one marking him?

Okay you can blame Pioli for not disciplining them or motivating them, but they’re also adults getting paid millions. They are not kids, they owe the fans too.

Spoiled in the sense that I don't see the hunger in them apart from Pioli's fvcked up tactics. Tonali for all his faults gave it all but today I don't see anyone give it all. They seem lackadaisacal and it shows with their awful passing, including Gabbia who pratically gave the assist on Roma's first goal.
This has been our MO since the preseason following the scudetto - Even Tonali in that following season stopped running

Curva tried to hold them accountable multiple times but not once did Pioli, now we are finally here.

As outrageous as it was playing Calabria at DM ahead of our long list of capable registas ( :lol: genny), nobody wants to point out how much better he was than Bennacer at DM :lol:

But you just said they've got some players who are past it. If they're a well run club then that doesn't make sense.

Fact is bayern are not past it. They have a very good mid and attack with a decent defence.

Just because they floundered this season is more down to the coach.

Before their tie vs Arsenal I fully expected them to lose. But their quality shone through.

They deserve to be in the semis on merit and because they have the players to win important matches.
Have a good team but not great team like they had when robben ribery played or in more recent years when they last won ucl.

How did De Rossi make his players look like quality? Lukaku and Dybala do that too?

Give me a break.
What? Lukaku and dybala are 10 times better than washed up has been trash can of a striker in giroud.

De Rossi is just going through novelty factor. Every team performs well to gain the coach's respect when there is a takeover.

Roma have much better strikers/forwards than us.

I am not saying pioli isn't at fault. It's both. Players too are at fault for unde performing.

You giving him a pass.

Tonali allowed runners to skip right past him on their way to scoring last season

The program agreement has started. We will have a new stadium in San Donato and it will belong to us. I know nobody cares today but it matters. The program agreement is expected to last 18 months but we are moving fast and so in 12/15 months we hope to finish everything

In his first two seasons at Lazio Sarri finished fifth and second. This season he was ninth when he left, most of it due to the fact that Immobile has been a shadow of his former self.
So he did ok for a bit until he lost key pieces…

Haven’t heard this song before

I've thought Calabria has been pretty good in there...I hate to say it, too, since the last time Calabria played in midfield was that one game......

Pioli is partially correct....we really needed to buy a proper starting CF last summer. Okafor had too many injuries, and jovic is not it.

Midfield and defence are bigger issues though, so this bald cunt needs to shut up

Where are the people that last summer said give Pioli the keys and he will produce? Where are you? Come show yourselves!!!
And where are the people that backed the owner that backed Pioli so emphatically...

Pretty sure that guy should get some flack guys.

We're way past the point of being able to blame anyone else other than upper management, management and the teams that have have taken the pitch.

We've fallen at every higher level hurdle, after the "best mercato in our history" as some put it.

He booted that ball high into the air right to Mancini on that first goal :lol:

though one can say subsequently Bennacer gave Mancini 0 pressure right outside of our box when Mancini initially got the ball and then completely lost him after he laid it off to Pellegrini by ball watching.

Suma said there is no magic wand. We all say Pioli Pioli Pioli and he is our great alibi and responsible of all our errors but things will be hard next season too. We should not think that with Pioli gone then all the problems are solved. This squad lacks personality and many other things. Our management will analyze everything not just the work of Pioli

Pulisic if he isn't scoring he can be pretty useless. I would sell and get a better winger. Thank me later.

Americans aren't built for sawker Stick to oval shaped balls

Sorry football. Not sawkker.

We need a leader in this team. Calabria or Theo being the captain is a joke aswell
We just have too many individuals and nationalities in the team. Its not a team

He's not wrong. Finishing has been horrendous. Even Jovic was shooting little dinks at the GK when he's been smashing them in all season.
But he is the idiot that keeps playing Giroud. How many sitters did Giroud miss the last matches?

I bet, Monday evening, Giroud will start again, Chuck will be benched etc.

He is overplayed actually for his age . I do not know why he is not giving him a rest .

The fact that Giroud is still our best bet to score shows the state of this squad

Our players are spoiled and don't respect the coach, I think Sarri would bring the discipline that we lack.
This is fantasy thinking. We'd require evidence to back up the claim the players don't respect the coach. How many times have we heard guys like Leao come out and say how much Pioli has been instrumental to their growth. That's an expression of appreciation and respect. Pioli is out of his depth, it's so bad that you could actually feel sorry for him.
