They did before and Jardim made it work. Not this time. Still, the roster is talented and the team is clearly underachieving.
Jardim is surely partly at fault, but the player should play much better than they are. Subasic, Jemerson, Glik, were all part of the great Monaco team. Right now, they're weaknesses.
I've seen majority of Monaco's game and the problem I see is there is no unity between the three areas of the pitch.
- The midfield is awful.
- There is nobody who can link the defencive line with the midfield.
- The defencive line is played below their ability, but Glik and Subasic are still solid players for me on the individual level.
- There is nobody who can link the midfield with the three forwards.
- Monaco's entire system rest on giving the ball to the wingers, running down the flank, and conducting crosses to Falcao (Jardim deserves some blame here).
I saw the same situation play with Soton in the EPL. They built a solid group of players, but it's very hard to reinvest that money again and again hoping for the same results of players. There is only one Mbappe, there are very few Lemar, and there are a handful of Fabinho type of players coming every couple years or so. There are some solid players and underrated talent on Monaco, but the team is as good as 5th place for me...very behind OM and Lyon who are clearly better teams easily. Then I really like what Bordeaux and St-Etienne are also building with a lot of talented youth.
) is the new manager of Rijeka after Matjaz Kek resigned. Biscan has had moderate success at smaller jobs such as Rudes and Olimpija Ljubljana, winning three trophies at those two clubs but this is a step up
