Yeah, but it is difficult. Sts patience is the best thing you can have in football, but you can see just as clearly as anybody else that it is often lacking, especially in football. It's funny, because it can cost you, like selling the better striker at a loss and buying an over-priced one who will may even turn out to be a very bad investment. Yet it is understandable, as football is a melting pot of emotions, so patience is hardly ever possible.
He had two seasons, and showed he could score, so I'm not sure what they saw. We could all see the physical gifts were there. Everyone's favorite manager didn't rate him, and was happy with Mertens and an oft-injured Milik instead.
Rumor is that Gattuso will be on till the summer regardless of position. If this is true it means that ADL is prepared to sacrifice CL A new coach will be hired in the summer. Either we will see a return of Sarri, or ADL will make a push for De Zerbi or Italiano. There is no confirmation of Benitez as a sporting director. Maybe ADL will also consider Petrachi
imagine all the scudetto we'd have won if Insigne wasn't there. I still remember how useless and wasteful he was Under Sarri; while every other player tried their very best to not only carry the twat but also to make him look world-class. IMO this is the only season where Insigne is playing for his team.
And he is still not very good at it, as he still tries a bit too hard to do it himself. I understand that it is natural considering what people think about him and what he thinks about himself, but still, it pisses me off. I maintain my troubles with coaches, as I don't think they are the main issue. Just look at hipster, he was doing well before and with an inferior team, but what had he done with Cagliari before they fired him? That team should have played 10 thousand times better...
Disagree with you all on Insigne. He is good. Should not be a captain and not guaranteed a spot but we have bigger problems.
He is not terrible, but he is no Lozano, or Mertens; moreover, he is the captain, and therefore he has to be assessed as such. If you are supposed to lead your team in the most difficult games and moments, and you continuously perform terribly in exactly those moments, you cannot be the captain. I agree with you that as a player he is decent, but we have been discussing precisely the discrepancy between his situation in our team and his quality. The only player that I liked continuously this season was Lozano. To have one such player is a disaster. It's even worse than having Ronaldo taking all the free kicks, which we all know is cataclysmic enough.
Well, at least Insigne can disallow goals, now even in the easier games... What should have been a great goal was turned into a pathetic moment by our captain. What had he done before that? Thank God for Mertens' positioning and luck.
Who was saying that about the quality of this team? They have minds of little children, and the stupid ones...
K2 was treading on thin ice, and got away with a tug before his eventual second yellow. The play by Insigne on the Zielinski goal was appalling. He was actually jogging into the shot path like he was oblivious there was a match going on.
Are you guys seriously too lazy to make a 2020/21 league thread? We've hit new lows on and off the field ..
I'm not, I'm just too lazy. There was this one time I even started a mutiny against God on this starship called Earth, by simply refusing to acknowledge and thus perform the tedious and time-consuming activities of the carnal body. Taking shits especially, as the sensational reward is far weaker than that of the relief of urine. It was a terrible business, but I fought bravely.
