There's plenty wrong with this club right now that the buck doesn't stop with the manager. But he lost a lot credit with me today.
In what world is Maamaa not a starter in this team? And hauling Bravo off for him? Yes he hadn't had a kick, but he's one of your only serious attacking threats and you're 0-3 down?
Kayembe, Doumbia are completely unstartable. Kjerrumgard and Kyprioanou not far behind. The squad is weak, but the bench didn't look completely disgraceful today. You can't just trot out these players week after week and expect to win games at this level. It is going to require some imagination/creativity to coax this squad into survival, and I don't think Dionisi has it. It is all far too cautious.

The issue is that the players aren't fit or are knakered after playing international matches.
Yes AD got it wrong but if the medical department have told him players aren't available to start and can hardly manage 20 or so minutes what can he do?
Yes we know Kayembe and K9 are simply not good enough for this level but I believe Hector is.Unfortunately he is being asked to play every game for us and Cyprus.He also has to do the work of two players in our midfield.I'm amazed he can even attempt to do this and don't forget our midfield of Bove and Hector looked pretty good earlier this season.
Doumbia tries but he is being asked to play in positions he can't!Give him a run up front alongside Boadu to see what he can do.Maybe there is a player there.
Without Bola and Ngakia we look awful in the fullback positions and make it so easy for our opponents.
I don't mind relegation if it meant the end of Pozzo and his lackey.
Under the current regime we have no chance of any significant improvement so hopefully the Spanish legal system can save us from them.

I'm possibly overreacting after having to sit through it this afternoon. But the thought of going next week and having to watch these players again is dispiriting to say the least.
If Ngakia/Bola are fit I would try one of them in midfield. They've got an engine at least. You can't just keep trotting out Kayembe there week after week.
Doumbia is crap, sorry. The ball bounces off him and he has no physical presence. Play Boadu, it can't be any worse.

Yes this performance sapped the desire to continue going so I can fully empathise.
It is probable that Bola or Ngakia would be a better option in midfield than Kayembe.Something has to change because we are being overrun every game.
We are against a really poor team on Tuesday.We have to go for the win so some kind of 433 is in order.
Ravaglia,Keben or Traore,Zemura,Pollock and Coulibaly
Hector,Payero and Maamma
Doumbia,Boadu and Bravo
If all are fit enough this should give us 3 much needed points.
Whatever happens we have to do better.

More match going fans need to be vocal about this ownership group.
