Some of the people here crack me up. We’ll hype up our players for certain behavior, call them legends or badasses, but the moment the opponent does the same thing to us, we lose it, start name-calling, saying they're out of line, blah blah blah.
Look, we lost. It sucks, but it’s not the end of the world. Inzaghi is still the same coach who some of us were calling a mastermind for outclassing Pep or at least going toe to toe with him. Nothing is changed there.
What has changed, if you ask me, is the hunger to win. Most of these guys look like they've already ticked their boxes; some by winning the title, some by being part of the "team that got the second star", some by shutting up rival fans.
Last year’s celebration didn’t feel like "just another title" (and rightly so, to an extent), but it felt like a century-long marathon finally ended, and now it’s like everyone thinks they’ve completed the game.
With this mentality, I’d give us a 10% chance to win the title this year, at best.
Everyone's to blame a little bit. It’s not like we’re losing or failing to win because of just one thing.
But man, these games really show that this “eh, I don’t mind him as our third-choice striker/mid/cb” mentality is toxic. It’s dragging us down.
We have the formula, lets not get carried away with experiments and go back to winning.
2 more loses and we can kiss the scudetto goodbye.
