10 years of FIFIts not like if the guy is stinking up the place he won't rotate/give someone else a chance. To me its good that if you have a guy performing he keeps his place I like that more than just tinkering and making changes for no reason ala Mancini and Pioli.
They will never play give it up man this is Inter.

Forum Supporter10 years of FIFYeah he made a pointrecord with Roma, his non-rotating mentality works.
And tbh, Roma has not tons of high quality players on their bench

Forum SupporterMou also wasn't fond of rotating. It will also mean more chance to get rid of useless players who would never see game time.

10 years of FIFIt won't happen but I'd love it if he brought SES here with him, right after we sell Perisic

I think the reason we are waiting to announce him is that Sabatini will be a couple of days in China for the Asian Champions league match of Suning, which is scheduled for tomorrow 14 Italian time if I'm not mistaken.

Transfer GuruYou want to replace Perisic with El Shaarawy? That is a downgrade IMO. Even though Perisic did not have a great season, he was better than SES.
Salah I can understand.

10 years of FIFForum SupporterNo way. SES has been absolutely dynamite for the better part of five months now. Perisic has mailed it in for the past three.
What TheNetworkz is probably hinting at is the fact that SES possesses everything this team lacks. Creativity, flair, versatility. Indirect. He's different than any other player on our roster.

10 years of FIFI think that's when he's forced to use rotation. Doubt he would want to start with 10 men.

That's my point? He need to have someone to rotate with so the when he is forced on the rotation he'd have a fit guy ready to fight?
And hence the issue that can come even without EL.

FIF Special OnesThe better part of 5 months? I'm not sure that I can agree like that, maybe the better part of 5 weeks. He has scored 5 times in the last 5 months, 4 of which came in May. He also hasn't really been a regular starter all year.

10 years of FIFIs he bad? no he is not. Is he great? Neither is great.
He is decent coach and that's it. We've had a LOT of decent coaches over the years, and what have we done? Jackshit.
Coach is the most important link in a football team, he can make mediocre players look good and vice versa. Spaletti is ok-ish, but that's it. We will once again fight for top4, maybe reach them, but that's the top he could take us. His sides has always been mediocre in european competition, with both Roma and Zenit. His teams know how to counter and attack, but his defensive play is worse than our past coaches probably. And to win something in big league, you need defensive line first (unless of course you have MSN or BBS upfront).
If we get Spaletti then fine, but stick with him. Give him better players to work with and hope for the best. And do it fucking soon! We need coach to ask for his type of players and we need them all in the team till the end of July..
Even tho im not quite optimistic with him on our bench.

Forum Supporter10 years of FIFIf they do hire him, I don't want this knee jerk sacking at Christmas if the team is mid-table. They'd have to show some kind of commitment and get stability. Looking forward to everyone turning on him the moment a loss to a bottom tier team comes.

Most Improved MemberTactical flexibility
Something that has defined Spalletti’s managerial career has been in regards to his tactical outlook, most notably during his first spell with Roma between 2005-09.
His most renowned decision in that time was to utilise a striker-less formation which was either a 4-6-0 or a 4-5-1-0, depending on how you interpreted it.
At the time, it was a system that was quite revolutionary in modern football as it meant that the Roma team did not have an out-and-out striker leading the line, with Francesco Totti instead operating as a ‘False 9’.
What this meant was that opposition defenders were dragged into positions higher up the field as they had no-one to mark close to their own box with Totti operating in a deeper position despite being Roma’s most advanced player.
The club’s wide forwards Mirko Vucinic, Rodrigo Taddei and Mancini, therefore, had plenty of space to exploit in behind the defence and in Totti, the team had the perfect player to thread passes through to them and pick up intelligent pockets of space in the final third. He too managed 26 league goals that campaign, his highest ever return in a single season.
It also enabled Roma to dominate possession as they effectively had four players operating in central areas high up the pitch with Totti supported by three central midfield players behind him.
Spalletti deployed the striker-less system most frequently during the 2006-07 season and it was certainly effective as they came runners-up in Serie A and most memorably thrashed Inter 6-2 in the Coppa Italia final first leg.
Following a poor start to the 2009-10 season and after two years without a trophy, Spalletti resigned as Roma boss and took in his first managerial stint abroad, moving to Russian club Zenit St Petersburg.
Spalletti’s 4-2-3-1 at Zenit
During his time in Russia, Spalletti lifted four trophies including the Russian Premier League twice as well as the Russian Cup but this time he tended to rely upon a more conventional 4-2-3-1 system.
Unlike at Roma, Spalletti relied upon a conventional forward to lead his attack with Danko Lazovic and Alexander Kerzhakov taking it in turns to be Zenit’s focal point up front in each of the club’s Premier League wins in 2010 and 2012.
Spalletti was sacked by Zenit in 2014 after the trophies dried up and it wasn’t until nearly two years later that he returned to management, joining Roma in January 2016.
Although Totti was still a part of the Roma first-team squad, he was 39 and coming towards the end of his career, meaning Spalletti could not afford to build his team around him again.
That meant that there was no consistent return to the 4-5-1-0 or 4-6-0 formation of old, with Roma alternating between a 3-4-1-2, a 4-3-3 or a 4-2-3-1.
Roma’s reliable 3-4-1-2
The 3-4-1-2 formation was Roma’s default tactical shape in the first half of the 2016-17 season, with the width supplied predominantly by wing-backs and a flexible strike partner such as Stephan El Shaarawy or Mohamed Salah partnering the prolific Edin Dzeko in the attack.
However, in the second half of the season, Roma largely switched to a 4-3-3 formation which used inverted wingers such as Diego Perotti on the left and Salah on the right.
How Roma lined up during their recent 5-3 win over Chievo.
Clearly, Roma’s tactical flexibility this season worked as they were only outscored by Napoli (94) in the Italian top-flight while they also had the second-best defensive record, conceding 38 goals.
Interestingly, Roma’s style in Spalletti’s second spell has been less focussed on possession (they ranked 4th in Serie A for passes completed) and more centred around pressing, as they ranked top for duels won and sixth for defensive actions in the division.
When it comes to evaluating Spalletti’s approach, he is essentially a manager who caters his tactical philosophy around the players at his disposal, rather than implement a set way of playing at every club he coaches.
Should he join Inter, the club will be hiring an intelligent coach who will make the side more tactically aware than they have been this season.
