if they were solely responsible for carrying him then, shouldn't they be solely responsible for dropping him now? shouldn't they have also had the ability to carry rafa and those before him? when you're in 4th place and 19 points from the rivals, the coach cannot be excused from blame. 19 points is ridiculous, zidane takes his share of the blame. but this act that we slipped on a banana peel and fell into the titles we did is tiring especially coming from us

zidane can be crap this season and still get his props for previous years, it doesn't have to be one or the other. most managers who have titles have them because of moments of individual brilliance from players. imo the players had a major role in our wins, and also have a major role in our losses.

i'm not shielding zidane from any blame, our lineup like the press conferences are predictable, we already know the team that will play the next game.....but the successes were not an accident. that we are crap now shouldn't equate to us shitting or putting asterisks on our previous success. let rivals do that, while we focus on how garbage we are at present
