Fabio? We're miles apart. Next will be one of Gattuso, Donadoni or - we'll wait for Allegri.

I think it's high time Miha took a good look at his squad and revaluates some things. It was very clearly a mistake to go into the game with that defence. If you don't have your best players available at least go for the next best thing. Ely and Zapata are certainly not that and anyone could see the disaster ahead with those 2 in the centre against Napoli's attack.
Ely is turning out to be that guy who has the anti-Midas touch. I'm sort of feeling sorry for him now. But fact here is that you shouldn't be playing with a rookie when you have much better and more experienced players on the bench.
As for Zapata, I seriously don't have it in me to say anymore about this guy. I actually said before the game that the smart thing to do would be to play him next to Alex. But this guy just manages to hit new lows each week, after the disaster show against Genoa, he tops it with this one. His mistake was the literal straw that broke the camel's back as I thought we were doing very well before that and we actually looked like the better side. I'm not saying it's all his fault that we collapsed afterwards, that's because we're so mentally weak as a team. But when you're already so vulnerable as a team, to have someone who's that much of a liability to an already barely functioning team is simply unacceptable and he shouldn't start anymore games!
The midfield is just one un-coordinated mess. I want to say bring De Jong back, maybe that would help out with the leaky defence, but putting De Jong in the centre will make out midfield even more 1 dimensional. I was all for trying him on either side of Monto, but not if Miha is going to use him as a pseudo mezalla instead of as a destroyer.
Once we have Menez back I really think we should remove Bertolacci, push Bona back into midfield and use Menez behind the striker.
Also, Luiz and Bacca playing next to each other is redundant and simply doesn't work

At this point I am seriously beginning to lose hope, there have been rumors that Miha is under the gun. Replacing him at this point seems redundant, especially with the options mentioned being Donadoni and Spaletti. This situation just keeps going from bad to worse. It starts at the top, the management is a disorganized mess, and they really jacked up this transfer season.
The coach, after 7 games looks about out of answers. Our defense has gone from bad to worse as the year has progressed, the midfield takes one step forward with two steps back and the lack of creativity from the midfield to the forwards is just depressing. Its getting depressing watching these games where we cant manage a simple shot on goal. This season is going to be very long, and I believe it will set us back further than last year.

I have a feeling Miha will be left to stay on until the very end of another wasted season.
Otherwise who else will Galliani blame after all the money was spent?
@ x-off. I completely agree and totally get your point. But the situation is what it is, we can't change it and we knew before the season started (thus all the disappointment at the end of the summer after we spent 90m with the only real top signing being Bacca, a player who needs a proper midfield or at least a properly functioning team behind him to be useful for us). Having said that, we still have an entire season left to endure and until then, Miha or whoever our coach is needs to get these players playing football and he needs to play the best choices out of the bunch he has. Sorry but Zapata and Ely are certainly not that, Bertolacci is a disaster signing and his price tag shouldn't justify his inclusion. Luiz Adriano and Bacca don't work together.
And this doesn't just fall to player selection. Miha needs to do what he thinks is best and not let Silvio bully him into using formation x and tactics y. We simply can't play a possession based game, we need to go for a more direct approach, basically an approach that any mid-level side would go for to offset the lack of quality in their teams.

What's disturbing is that anyone with working brain cells could see from a mile away that most of these signings would lead us nowhere. Anyone!
Bacca was the only signing that made sense, albeit I said from the start that without service he wouldn't go far, which is exactly what he's suffering right now. And I'll let Romagnoli slide because the guy is young and seems talented.
The rest, though, don't get me even started. Ely, Kucka, Bertolacci, Jose Mauri, Luiz Adriano, Balotelli. How in the world are they any better than the various Rami, Essien, Van Ginkel, El Shaarawy and Destro that we had last season? This is what I would love to ask Galliani. He was given a decent enough budget to strengthen this team, yet he spent it all and we didn't get stronger at all.
I would go as far as saying that our mercato last season, where we spent jackshit, was better than this one where we spent 90 million.

It remains to be seen what will happen now once our season goes down the cr@pper. I wonder if Silvio will continue to back his man, even now with Bee and his investors breathing down their necks If one more wasted season will mean it will be the end of Galliani, I'll gladly endure it
