Gattuso was not injured when they game begun, he got the injury during the game. Also Ambro doesn't cut it IMO.

We comes from two horrible season in which we had a better team than this one. Leonardo may be bust, but he has nothing to work with.

Such strange youth names you mentioned. Obviously maybe we should instead mentioned the best player in the French league. Foggia that reached the national team. Abate also will get the chance, he proved in the friendlies that he can play, unlike others that somehow start for us.

What can you expect when he got the same players? He asked for wing-forwards and new fullbacks so he could play 4-3-3. He didn't get it.

But he did lose 0-4 a couple of times and with a clearly superior team to this one and in games we didn't have a player sent off in the first half.

There is nothing really saying he is confident about that. when he took over it even sounded like he thought he could keep Kaka. Berlusconi is the one in love with Ronaldinho and claiming he could take over from Kaka, not Leonardo.

so you admit circumstances was against Leo and that he don't have suffcient players?

I didn't think that against Siena, I know his physical form isn't up to it. He can create brilliant things still.

Nice description.

A sent off player obviously did its share here.

Unless we don't give some more new young players the chance, it is not that likely IMO.
