While Bonucci seems to be disproving the 'don't become a bad player overnight' cliche, otherwise I agree. Montella is getting considerably less out his players than the squad is capable of.
He has gone from, last November, the best coach in Serie A (said by almost all of us) to a pile of turd.
He just isn't very good.
I think sometimes players have a hard time clicking in a different environment and that's probably what's going on with Bonucci. He's been in such a bubble at Juve, a very comfortable one, especially since he's never left it's comfort even while with the NT, that now that it's burst, he's finding it difficult to get into the rhythm he had before.
I think the tactics are a mess and everyone seems confused about what they should be doing. a 3-5-2 is not the way to go. If we're using 3 at the back it should be a 3-4-3 or 3-4-1-2. 5 across the midfield with the players we have makes absolutely no sense
Either that or we try the 4-2-3-1 as X-off suggested. And play all 3 of Hakan, Bona and Suso in their preferred position
