Really tough game as these guys are good at home, plus we're coming off a bad loss.

You should really stop that shit match thread opening, was fun while lasted.

If I have some time at work this week I'll update the opening thread with something of actual value

 

[Provenzano]

If this is a really big problem I will update the game thread tomorow so please stop whining like little children!

It's not your fault. It was cute when we were on our first winning streak. Now it's just eroding the value of the forum.

 

[Glass box]

I think we'll win this.

2-4-3-1 with Candreva and Perisic as CBs please! They can cover a lot of ground and defend, take the ball and attack!

 

[JJM]

who cares about EL...I don't even want to play it as we are not going far anyway because we are still weak children...our squad are weak children and average turds...

1. group the children: Icardi,Brozo,Gags,Mario,Kondo,Murillo,GabiG
2. group the turds: Candreva,Dumbo,Ansaldi,Medel,Eder,Palacio,Nagatomo,Biabia...

3. undefined group of exceptions consists of 3 players: Perisic,Miranda,Handa probably wondering what they are doing in such a club who chokes every time it gets hard...

praying the weak children develop better than the average turds did...Icardi is doing best for now

Make MS paint great again

I just hope to see Candreva eat bench finally

 

[Shaun]

Cagliari are one of the better home teams in the league. I envisage this being a difficult encounter

 

[Quantum]

I just hope to see Candreva eat bench finally

Not sure if benching Candreva is good or bad at this time, but clearly we need to work on our attacking moves. The Candreva crosses/Icardi waits/João Mário misses a sitter routine is getting boring.

 

[JJM]

who the fuck cares...we are not getting in to CL as we clearly don't deserve it...EL doesn't interest me on bit...get players who don't choke against a Roma and a coach too...we are gonna lose to Napoli and Atalanta this way too...and finish 7th or smth...FUCK THIS CRAP EVERY YEAR AND DELUDING MYSELF IT WILL GET BETTER...I'm saying this for 7 years now FUUUCK!

We can still fight for the third spot. We must believe in yourselves and that we can do it. It's not over.

We must show personality: rather than get depressed for the loss, we must get our shit together. The players should just take a deep breath, maybe have a day off or two and then start again with a clear head.

as for our gameplay: 1. back to the 4 men defense; 2. more time for barbosa; 3. brozovic must eat bench for a while, and then either he decides to actually give a shit or he can just sty on the bench; 4. pioli also has to work on the link-up play in the attack, sometimes icardi is just left alone. 5. but icardi must move more.

Start Gabigol pls

Candreva has been shit for ages now and it's not like he's a young prospect or sth.
At least Barbosa could learn and get some experience
I'd even consider Biabiany over Candreva actually- they equally suck at crossing, but at least Bia can run

 

[Ronaldo]

I just hope to see Candreva eat bench finally

I just hope that Pioli goes back to the formation that was working and stops coming up with idiotic formations.

 

[Serhio_D]

Sadly both hopes seem to be way too much to ask...

Firmino, you're an idealist while JJM is a realist...and JJM has that balkan blood/emotions which makes him overreact a bit (that's why we love him), but he is right though...

We will not qualify for CL in my opinion...with such a bad start to the season we should know we would not get many chances to bounce back...we are winning against "smaller" teams but in the games against Jube and especially this one against Roma, we should have made a statement...that's what great teams do in that situations and we're just not their yet...we have to be perfect until the end, but i doubt we can win 95% percent of the games...

Next year there are 4 spots for CL in Serie A (if i'm not mistaken) so lets hope for a strong mercato and finally make that push for CL...no apologies next year!
