The thing is. Edy Reja raised the bar too high at the start of the season. Our eyes are on the shining glory of Champions League than what Lazio wrote down on their objective the season not realizing we are way past it. Reja should feel distraught as he does not deserve the whistles. He is a good coach overall and we will risk getting a Ballardini in disguise coach if Reja does leave. 

I agree. Reja should not be subject to that kind of criticism. He pretty much kept us from relegation last season and actually restored a lot of the lost dignity. Howver if one wants to go the stadium and whistle lototti .. be all means feel free! Now that the games are becoming so important and every team is fighting for the points .. i can see how people are putting him under the microscope and criticizing his tactics .. but he does not deserve insults.

That's another great point i was actually thinking about today.. the fact that he doesn't exactly get to work with quality talent. He's been critisized for taking off Zarate at times, but Zarate hasn't done much this year to prove he's of value with only 5 measly goals to his name. If the fans want to get frustrated it should be more towards the floppy players this team has or if anything or the riommer running the club.

For the money we spent to grab Floccari, Hernanes, Zarate & Co.  I'd hardly say Reja has little to work with.  But I will say everyone has underperformed substantially. (Minus Biava & Dias who have really gone over and above expectations)
The blame must be shared among players and the entire staff if anything. 

AGREED!

Not to mention all this whining about insults from Reja.  Last time I checked football is a results based game...So I'm pretty sure going 0/4 in Derbies is a losing record...Wouldn't want to hurt your feelings too much though Edy.  

What a joke.

* Edit....If you want to talk about miracles, look no further than Malesani @ Bologna.  My God!  Imagine that guy had a world class squad!?!?!?

Reja is Partly to blame. true. Lazio have great players. also true, but if you would look back at that list you made of good players: Muslera, Floccari, Hernanes, Ledesma, Radu, Dias. almost all are defensive minded players with the exception of Hernanes & Floccari. and lets be honest Floccari is no supper star or at least not by him self. (one of Reja's few down sides, playing one man up front.)

so your mad at reja playing too the strengths of the current Lazio squad "Seriously!?!?" Gimp.

leave the old man alone

Interesting banter here...


You must be mad. Whoever is to blame you are still suggesting we should be higher on the table than we already are. Give me mercy. I would like to think this season has exceeded all expectations by a mile. It does feel like a failure to drop out of top 4 because we have been there all season long but let us keep things in perspective. I simply cannot understand what you are on about. Are you still dwelling on the Derby loss here or what?


That formation usually works for us and as has been said Reja is playing to our strengths. Two strikers has not really produced significantly better results but you seem to think we would be doing much better if Reja played Zarate and somebody as strikers all the time. Fair enough, but, to be honest I rather you had a different user name, avatar and signature before discussing further. I very well agree with you on Floccari, though. There are around dozen players in the league who have scored double digits by now and I expected Floccari to be amongst them. Really, I have not seen almost anyone saying what a disappointment Floccari has been apart from myself.


I also think booing and whistling at the stadium is by all means justified when the team loses in a manner that warrants negative reaction from the fans. But, if I can steer the discussion back to the original topic, it is fukking retarded to go there for the express purpose of whistling and booing. Rather not show up at all if you want to make a statement. If it is because of the Derby, I do understand it is a touchy subject and can sympathize with the tifosi in Rome but then the argument about throwing the rest of the season away because of it rises again. Again, retarded. At the same time, as I already said in my first post, Reja's reaction does not impress me either.
