Words don't always fail me but they do here.

Pippo isn't just out of his depth, he really is turning into a grade A w*nker.

Did he really f@cking say that?? Unbelievable!

Agreed with many of your prior comments.

I think it's clear we have a big mentality issue. Something's just wrong with the team. We started off rather well up until SES scored. Then we did what happened before as well - we backed out and invited Sampdoria to attack us. Then after we scored the second goal, we started playing well again. All this indicates we have serious form, consistency and mentality issues.

Am I the only one who thinks Bonera had a good match? The red card he got was in the dying minutes when he was left out wide against a stronger and faster opponent. He was a fullback, which suggests that the main fault lies on Rami/Mexes.

I think the "plan" when we do take the early lead is to sit back and counter on the opposition, the only problem with that "plan" is that we can't defend even if our lives depended on it

For us, sitting on a 1 goal lead atm is pure suicide.

The only time this plan worked was against Lazio. We scored early and countered on them, every other game where we took an early lead has been a nightmare so far. You know the goal is coming but for some reason they just don't push for the second, and seem to lose the plot as well, which in turn invites on more pressure, which forces us into making silly mistakes.

As for Bonera, he was diabolical!! The first goal was him, not Rami. Okaka was playing on his side all game long and literally turned him inside out. On the first goal Bonera just ran along side him, he just couldn't handle him physically and his positioning was even worse, so not only was his positioning off, he didn't have the physical capacity to recover his bad positioning once Okaka got in behind him (which happened multiple times)

Like Danny, I really do feel that we started off with probably some of our best football of the season, but again, we scored early and completely dropped off, the second half was also pretty great imo, it was the first time this season where I really saw us pushing our opposition back deep into their own half and really bombarding them, then Bonera got sent off and we were back on the back foot (naturally)

Rami let the cross in too easy, and Bonera let his man goal side. Both unforgiveable.

I won't lie, I zoned out once we conceded the second. Knew we weren't getting more than a point. And with those comical subs my case wasn't really weakened.
