Then shouldn't we ask ourselves why they aren't playing well? I'll tell you: No support from wing backs or a box to box player to create space for them You can't just say any 433 variation should make them perform
The midfield is not built for that formation and Rui is missing, but that doesn't excuse watching the front three run into players and pass to the other team repeatedly.
Stop blaming the formation, start analyzing what goes on on the pitch: - Where are the overlaps? - Where are the runs into the box from a midfielder? - Where is the triangular play down the wings? We have a special set of players here, seems like we are wasting their talent on a dinosaur Why do we still not have a regista? Clearly the plan was always to play 442. I don't event know what formation we played today
I guess what happened in Germany was not bullshit. The players held their own training sessions while he was in charge.
I like you and we are both Napoli fans but I really think you are struggle analyzing games. I have no views on Lozano but Ancelotti wanted him. But please stop blaming players who have been proven over years or in every game coming up with excuses. There is a reason coaches get payed and teams train. You cannot just decide one game you play 4-3-3 and hope everything works. It does not work like that. Ancelotti has prepared this team for 4-4-2 and he thought he could integrate Insigne and Lozano but has failed. He panicked and played 4-3-3 and clearly no one is prepared. On top of that this team does not seem physically to be able to play more than a half. It has no game plan as how to pass and lacks creativity. I am not even upset because the writing was on the wall. I would argue 70% of games in 2019 have been like that. Now people will come and talk about Ancelotti’s 3 CL and why we should be quiet so I will leave it at that. But this year qualifying top 4 will be our main objective and it will not be easy. No way we will compete for the title. I am saying that based on performances and without bias. It is rather sad.
Because they have not been trained to play in a 3 man midfield. It is as simple as that. It is not an off day. How many Napoli matches have you watched in 2019?
"How many Napoli matches have you watched in 2019" you have to stop with these types of replies. The whole team sucked today, I thought we played very well against Cagliari and we played good against Genk. I thought we deserved the win in both those games but in this one we were shit. I think you need to readjust your expectations of this team. We clearly do not have the quality to actually win the scudetto regardless of what the players and coach say and want. I want us to win the scudetto, If we fail to make top 3, and a R16 appearance of the UCL then I am officially Ancelotti out. Until then he has my full support.
My friend, no one ever thought we had a chance. The only year we did was Sarri’s last year. Top 3? I think we will struggle to finish top 4. I don’t think we were good against Cagliari or Genk but we deserved to win. But against Fiorentina we were horrible and were very lucky. When a coach has to switch formations and so many players it shows something is lacking. We can every game find some excuses but they have piled up. Second half of last year players were demotivated (which is unacceptable) but we accepted that. We were told they will focus on EL where the lost their last 3 games.
Who else do you think can finish ahead of us? I can see Juventus and maybe Inter but I still believe their form will drop. I definitely can't see any other team finish ahead. Roma has only played against Lazio (away) and Atalanta (at home) and they've only picked up 1 point. Milan lol Atalanta has played against Roma (Away) and got the win but I can't see them finishing top 4 again this year... Lazio? They've played Roma (home) and Inter (away) and only picked up 1 point.
Anything can still happen but it looks tough atm. Can someone explain to me why our captain and coach have a falling out? Should he even be our captain then? Like we have so many problems off the pitch as well. No one including ghoulam gave a crab when he was fouled in the box today - why?
I don’t know but we were not top 4 second half of last season. I just see no game plan and no intensity.
Meret said we are tired. Something is wrong. Let me be the first one but after this game I want Ancelotti gone (I never said that about Mazzari, Benitez or Sarri). Not aayingbfire him but with him we won’t do shit.
I explained my reasons and it is obvious the coach is at fault when the team is not used to 433. But here read this https://www.areanapoli.it/intervist...-ancelotti-ha-due-grossi-problemi_343799.html
