well said!

I think it comes down to all 3 parties, Coach, Players, and "President" in causing this nightmare.  The only reason sitting here today I blame Lotito first and foremost is because HE is the one who has the ability to change things more than anyone, yet we have been sitting here for months discussing the same bullshit that its become incredibly redundant.  

For the first couple months of the season I can understand the lack of action.  New coach, players underachieving, Pandev and Ledesma scandal, all were made to be excuses for the lack of results.  But now that we are into FEBRUARY and we have not even come close to improving, there is no way in hell that DRASTIC CHANGES should not have been made.  

The thing that really pisses me off is that if Lotito had any care or passion for this team's success at all, he would have recognized that he fucked up massively in letting Pandev and possibly Ledesma go for free and would be trying to make up for it.   But I honestly believe the fact of the matter is: he really does not care.

I pray that Reja is brought in and that he can get something out of these disgustingly underachieving players to save us from this relegation nightmare.

 

Absolutely, 100% not. I don't want anyone, because just anyone will get us relegated equally like Balla will.

It has to be Reja. Absolutely cannot be anyone else. If we get anyone but him we'll go down.

Yes they all play for Lazio that's what they all have in common. Most of them played last year under rossi and we still did shit. Yet Rossi's coaching crediblity has gone up since he went to palermo. Maybe these players aren't as good as you might think OR maybe MOST other teams might have more and better talent than we do and still aim to improve.

I'm not going to blame mostly the coach for us doing shit and I dont think its a coincidence that almost every player is having a bad season. Maybe they're just not that good as we'd like them to be.

Zarate is suspect now. Sorry but he wasn't that consistent last year and definitely having a horrible season this year and if we're going to wait around for him to come to prime then maybe we shouldn't be depending on him for 90 minutes. He's nothing but hope. But right now he's a ball hog and can't score a goal .. nothing i'd like in a striker.

Floccari - as Theo mentioned, Genoa Scraps, .. not to say he's not good .. but they obviously have better options to hand him over to us and this is why they're better than us.

Muslera - Definately one of our best.

Lichsteiner - Another great talent who may go the same way as pandev from recent news.

Kolarov - I always gave this guy props.

Matuzalem - should be nothing more than a sub.

Brocchi - Another Sub.

Foggia - Not given enough chances, and I can  blame this on bad coaching.

Stendardo - Rossi wouldn't play him, but he's no star player.

Cruz - Inter scraps who hasn't shown much quality since he came and probably at the end of his career.

Rocchi - Not played enough, another bad coaching decision. But he's losing his steam.

Hitzlperger - this guy hasn't played with us enough to even say anything. Let's see how he adapts before we give him props.

Radu - as much as I thought this guy was great, he's also having a pretty bad season and wasn't even that great last season. Definately no consistency.

I don't mean to say the WHOLE team is mediocre, but this lineup doesn't really doesn't put us ahead of MOST teams in serie a.

@ Imper

Your getting attacked left right and centre. It's of your own doing, but have a cookie.




Ok, again I find what you say baffling. This team has talent... well.. in terms of attributes, sure, but where did we come last season? I agree wholeheartedly with Latius that Rossi did a great job last season... he really did get the players up for the coppa, and remember without the coppa, we were heading for mediocrity... and you could argue that we still had that.
Why bother posting when we know Lotito won't go away? Pretty daft question all in all, it's because I love the team. Who the else can I bloody support? And I'm not letting Lotito get in the way if my love for the team, even though he tries his hardest. You have to accept - and quickly- you are the only person on this forum who has any sort of allegiance to Lo-merda, and it is not everybody else's fault that they hate Lotito, it's perfectly normal. The whole of Rome hates him, we do, but you don't.

Btw, Latius's intrepretation of how good our players are is pretty much spot on, but Radu is a beacon for me in the darkness of shit, he's been our most solid defender all season. I agree that Ballardini is totally and utterly at fault for players under performing, or as I said in North Curve, the fact that hardly any of our players have improved from last year, infact all of them have got a bit worse,  bar Kolarov.


But to blame Ballardini, Imper, is all well and fine. But who hired him? (When Mazzari was clearly a better option.. fuck hindsight, I was calling for him, though I wasen't on the forum at the time) And who hasen't sacked him in November like he should have done. And who has even forced Ballardini into fielding certain players? You know who. And that's just a very small part of the reason why LOTITO VATTENE.

As if the rumours around the departure of Ballardini were not difficult enough to believe, I thought the names of possible candidates for his successor were drawn from the hat. Edy Reja, I thought, was just a pipe-dream because he only started at Hajduk Split this season. Yet he was eager and willing to take the job at SS Lazio. Too bad the negotiations today did not bear fruit. There is still hope for a positive outcome, I guess... but we probably end up with Luigi Cagni or Giancarlo Camolese. Cannot wait what tomorrow brings.

I would not want to engage in a perfectly useless debate between the usual suspects but whoever Lotito brings in - Reja or Camolese - and whatever the results may be it does not change a thing: Lotito, pezzo ebraico di merda, vattene!

When it comes to a coach like this it begs the question, what kind of club have we become?  This guy has a proven track record of bringing Napoli up and is now is in a league no one but anyone living their would give a shit about and we are hoping and praying for him to arrive here.  What has reduced Lazio to such a point where not even the good not even Great's of football want to come here with quick pace, where we pass on good decent players/coaches for peanuts in the world of football even when they want to come here i.e ederson.  Reja has said 50/50 chance, I hope he sees this club as adequate enough to even lose out on a contract to come here from the barrens of Heyduk Split.

Lotito's slowness to act is beyond all else, you can be an asshole yet still get things done, you can not know what the hell you are doing yet surround yourself with those that do and advise on what to do and get things done.  Lotito has Tare the puppet and Balla the cheapest solution on the market + Lotito is an asshole = No Results

      

IF HE CAN GET HIM, PLZ YOU MOTHERFUCKER LOTITO, JUST GET RID OF THAT HOMO BALLARINA.
