I dont think ranieri is the problem for now, all we need is to address the issue of lack of creativity in the midfield and get a good top class strikers that is prolific in front of goal post.
Hi Ebur and welcome to PBN.

Even when Ranieri has most of the players at his disposal, he never gives the impression he knows what he is doing, appears confused about whom to send on the field, makes very questionable substitutions and so on.....
Obviously we lack some quality (as a whole) when compared to other top teams, but most fans agree that the issues begin with the trainer in our case. Clearly it is not just the trainer's fault if that's what you mean.

As for the
strikers, I'd say we have plenty of (good) options out there. Lately the team has played quite crappy as a whole.......and we know noone can do miracles. However, if you consider people like Trezeguet (out for now ok) Iaquinta, Amauri (done really well so far), the evergreen Del Piero (always saves us) and the promising Giovinco (as a support), I'd say we are more than fine in terms of forwards. And scoring hasn't been the main problem either. The defense, and most of all the midfield, have left very much to be desired!
And you said it: WE LACK CREATIVITY IN MIDFIELD.
