Stung

By: cathal | November 9th, 2009

Due to an invasion of wasps in my kitchen (I kid you not!) it was impossible for me to get a preview out there on time but where I was lucky to evade any harm, Lazio found themselves stung by a superior Milan side. With another international break looming, there is no quick-fix to this situation and our boys will have to take a long hard look at themselves over the next two weeks, wipe the slate clean and start again. That is easier said than done but we no longer have a choice; the result must come.

I’m sick of saying this but I’ll say it once more and be done with it; yet again, we were not played off the park but as always, the creativity and cutting-edge factor eluded us. The result in itself was by no means shameful. We lost the corresponding fixture by three goals last season and today was certainly a marked improvement on that effort but when you haven’t won a league game for as long as you can remember then that means relatively little. The fixture list doesn’t get any easier and I have no choice but to concede the fact that our backs are against a rather hard, cold wall and it is going to be one hell of a fight to even make a proper fist of it.

The problems are evident. It is only minor details that everybody appears to be disagreeing on but I don’t think we are going to see any major shocks over the break. Pandev will not return, the chances of Ledesma entering the fold are slim at best and most probably none and I have severe doubts that Ballardini’s sacking will come any time soon but that will be discussed later. For now, we will have to prepare to endure another ritiro and that means an absence of any noteworthy in-camp news. The joys of being a laziale. Forza Lazio!

    lol very well put antonio… i’m sure we’ll get out of this negative spiral sooner or later ( i hope it’s sooner). We have the players imo, with a few investments and a “spark” we should be on the get go in no time
