Sure. I mean whatever it kind of depends what source you look at. On transfermarkt though we have 2 of the top 10 CBs by value. Infaxt us and Barca are the only clubs with two in the top 10.11 cbs are worth 60+
with Skriniar barely being worth 60
Worse defence than Lecce. Enough said.Right. Because having three top/world class centre backs is a problem of the owners not the coach? E.g. not conte who did a pretty amazing job with the back line?
If our defense was ranocchia, Silvestre, campagnaro, we could talk. But it isn't. Probably two of the only 7? CBs in the world worth more than 60m in that backline. I expect much better.
Are you seriously suggesting that these players are just random dots that one coach can utilize one way and another in a different way?Right. Because having three top/world class centre backs is a problem of the owners not the coach? E.g. not conte who did a pretty amazing job with the back line?

Inzaghi has a long history of very bad numbers in defence. In 2016/17 he had worse numbers than De Boer/Pioli/Vecchi Inter!Are you seriously suggesting that these players are just random dots that one coach can utilize one way and another in a different way?
So Skriniar being told he's leaving 3 windows in a row doesn't cause issues with him?
De Vrij being told that he's no longer wanted halfway in the season as we dropped the extension calls doesn't affect him?
Heck, even Bastoni having a kid now affects him.
Sure, expect better as you're entitled to. But at least expect it from those mainly responsible!
There's something toxic going on with the team and from what we can safely assume from what we see and hear, it's not the coach's fault.
Victor scores tons for Nigeria too. Nigeria are hardly a creative side...
I like Toro but he is not at Victor's level. Goes through too many goal droughts during a season.
Yet Conte won the league with so many defensive issues. Let’s see if Inzaghi can do the sameNo one claimed that Inzaghi is a defensive coach or that he doesn't have any share of the blame here, but he doesn't deserve the lion share of it.
How was it that last season this wasn't a big issue? It was an even bigger issue with Conte's second season actually so claiming that he rode on that tail isn't valid.
We all saw that De Vrij started to dip after the contract talks stopped last November. He was impeccable till then. Spalletti called it, he's "sensitive".
Against a weak league where Milan had Pioli in his first season, Juventus had a novice in Pirlo, while Roma and Napoli were a mess. Atalanta was his main rival which is funny to say out loud.Yet Conte won the league with so many defensive issues. Let’s see if Inzaghi can do the same
It was an issue at the start of last season as well. In the first round there was lots of criticism, even from players, that we conceded a lot and we needed to change our approach. Problem is just aggrevated this season because Perisic defensive contribution is gone and Dumfries is out of form which has left cbs exposed.No one claimed that Inzaghi is a defensive coach or that he doesn't have any share of the blame here, but he doesn't deserve the lion share of it.

And Conte had 300m to spend. Inzaghi has -150m to spend.
He cannot win the league, no. Not under these circumstances. He cannot whine to turn back the clock and make De Vrij feel welcome, make Skriniar feel accepted and various other factors.
the hangover of the Conte discipline?No one claimed that Inzaghi is a defensive coach or that he doesn't have any share of the blame here, but he doesn't deserve the lion share of it.
