THESE MOT...********ERS NEED TO TURN THIS TIE I WANT 4- 1 OR 4- 0 . NO EXCUSES. IF THEY WON'T , SELL EVERYONE
It's football. Anything can happen. While it looks dire, we need to keep the faith. But firstly, the players themselves need to f***king show up!
You completely misunderstood my post, and I really see where the issue lies. Hamsik also stated afterwards that Ancelloti seemed to pay little attention to him in comparison with Sarri. DL's statement about the issue also seemed to differ before and after his departure to China. But if you want to take the position from the vantage point of which there is no PR visible and everything you read is 100% true, then I cannot help you with that. If you want to believe everything, then believe it. And why are people on the internet so convinced and brave? Your words are strong, I wonder who you are in the real world. PS: I am actually a dolphin, and I have saved many human lives, protecting their skin from shark attacks with my pals. Believe me. PS2: You are not talking rubbish, God. I am pretty sure you know everything, and I have just written a letter to our club, containing the message that I have the man for the job, the one who will make everything right and we'll succeed. God luck.
Well, we can agree that we've been shit recently. But if it means anything we've won our 2 Europa League home games getting a clean sheet in both games (2-0 and 3-0). We scored 4 against Roma but that was in Rome
I am watching the games and say they such. Our season was almost over in December. You said it was biased so I showed how we have declined. The reason I shows past seasons is irrelevant it was just to point that we need to win 6 out of 6 games to match Sarri’s first season. The really important point is the decline after Christmas, both in quality and result. Of course I want Ancelotti to do well. I am just worried.
We have not been in many European knockout stages. Also, the last is irrelevant. We need to win on Thursday.
I care less about past games in a tournament. The form is important and that is what really worries me. We have to wait and see. I would ignore Roma game. They are worse than us mentally and break down quickly.
Our two Europa league games are against lower quality opponents. Also, whenever we are put into a situation where getting a result is a must, we capitulate. The Liverpool away game, the final games last season. Lost count.. We can't really consider the Roma game bec Roma played like crap in that match. Nevertheless, we need to have faith and support the team or we might as well just call off the 2nd leg and surrender.
I am not sure if the comparison of the 1st seasons is valid, as the circumstances then and now cannot be considered the same, in fact, they're not even similar. The amount of points you get in the end is influenced by many factors, and this season we have lost the hope of competing with Juve very early on in the season, whereas we have also done more in the EL so far this season, and we also did well in the CHL I am not satisfied because up to this point in time Carlo has not fixed our obvious mentality issue, which is why he came for. But at the same time I think it is not fair to judge him so unfairly right now, though if I let my emotions speak I'd probably send him to Hell along with everyone else. But hey, let's secure the 2nd spot this season, no matter how many points we get, the let's at least show sth great against Arsenal if we don't advance, so that it doesn't look like the PL is 10,000 steps ahead of SA, although it's pretty obvious it is, in terms of everything. Anyone who wants to deny it, let them just look at the CHL teams and the EL teams in the advances stages. If the 2nd team of SA team cannot even put in a decent performance against the 5th or so team of the PL, then it's not just a problem of the 2nd team, but the whole league. But it's difficult, because are lame mental weakness always comes into play, as perhaps even the teams behind us in SA wouldn't have shown such fear against Arsenal, which would have helped them a lot to actually show some grit and competitiveness. Because to be honest, no matter how much Carlo and the players want to talk shit about some 2nd half or whatever, or some chances and whatnot, I saw only one good team on the pitch the whole game through, and it was Arsenal. Yes, we created some chances later on, but even then, for each one good chance we had created Arsenal came afterwards with 1 great chance and 2 good ones...
Agree to a lot. No one is saying Carlo is shit. Criticism does not mean anyone qants him out. He is not the problem.
Yes, but then again, if we all agree that Ancelloti should still be left alone until we see what we can do after 2 or even 3 seasons have passed, then it must also logically follow that we cannot yet dismiss the scheme of DL which is signified by the belief that our team really is competitive and Carlo really is what it needs. What I want to say is that if next season Carlo succeeds, everyone will have to admit that DL hasn't been as blind as the accusations suggest. I personally don't really like DL much, but I am fully aware of how real the possibility is, the one where DL has left and a total prick comes to replace him. Therefore, I will not root for DL's departure until we have ascertained that the replacement will not be someone who will drag us back down to the gutter...
Stadium will not even be sold out. Most people I know don’t care about this season since December and until we don’t do a complete change won’t watch next season either.
But objectively, you don't know that many people, and additionally, you have also lost your enthusiasm in Dec and it is a rule that friends are similar so that makes the circle even smaller. There are still many people who will support the team, and 35,000 is quite enough to make some noise, and it's the Ultras who make the most noise anyway... And maybe many are just sulking over the foregoing results a bit and in the end they will come just before the match is about to begin.
We do most people have written this season off and we will not beat Arsenal. Serie A is just garbage.
Well, yes, but the number 35,000 obviously means that there are many for whom it is not just about success. For whom should the players play if not for exactly those fans, even if there were only 50 of them. Everybody knows that the number of fans decreases with disappointment, nobody is blind enough to overlook that, but that's additional motivation for the team to get even those success seekers back into the stands. Damn, they should be happy as the people in Heaven that the faithful portion is actually so numerous. They don't have much money to spare and still they find their way to the stadium while the players make millions and and the fans have very probably paid the money to see another dull disappointment. None of those who earn a lot of money will talk about this for obvious reasons, but they all know how it is.
I don't really think so, but if you are right, then the players are worth NOTHING. Logically, the fans of success can calculate, hence they know that not even 3-1 will be enough for us. If the players don't get it themselves, I'm sure Carlo will explain it to them. Anyway, even without the aforementioned, they should play for any amount of fans, otherwise in my eyes they are nothing more than mere mercenaries. Their wages already support such view, so let's see what it's all about tomorrow. Just joking, we really won't, because 35,000 is A LOT.
I know the odds are stacked against us but I want to see them at least show up and put up a good fight, and don't just like so many times in the past, give up and capitulate when it matters most. The players themselves must have self-belief and play as a team with intensity. Arsenal is better than us, and if up our game, we can beat them.
We often show a good fight. Maybe not recently. We need results. I rather we go out deservedly and work on fixing the problem than another heartbreaking narrow defeat.
Interesting article today from the Ancelotti press conference regarding Ajax's success. "“However, long-term planning (projects) is not allowed in Italy because the fans always ask for results.” This is so true
