Man, honestly, I was a bit weirded out watching yesterday's Bologna-Lazio match. Even after the game ended 0-0, I noticed that Dybala, Bernardeschi, Rowe, Frattesi, Isaksen, and even Romagnoli weren't even on the bench! 😳
Guys, as far as I can tell, Moltrasio gave some rest to players he doesn't use much, but my first thought was, "Is there a serious issue?" When you look at Lazio's spending during the transfer window, this lack of squad depth really makes me wonder.
Do you think this is because of Serie A's intense schedule or is it part of a special plan by the coaching staff? Or did they rely too much on loan players? What are your thoughts? 👇
Is it a squad depth issue or a problem in Lazio? Interesting details about Dybala!

So, did this “mandatory rest” strategy for squad depth line up with Serie A’s physical intensity? Look, sometimes a player shortage isn’t just about giving them a break—it can also be about reducing injury risk and keeping them in shape. If we see Dybry as a young talent, maybe Moltrasio is using him in a controlled way to protect him in the long run. After all, it’s not normal for youngsters to wear out early in Serie A, especially when clubs have made big financial investments.
Then there are the transfer‑window expenditures. Lazio poured a lot of money into upgrading this season’s roster, but in my opinion that “depth” thing shouldn’t be confused with a “protect the best XI” strategy. For instance, did Pedro really need an emergency plan? If even a seasoned player like Romagnoli can end up on the bench, maybe the balance of the squad is off. Perhaps the focus is on the key players rather than shoring up the weak spots, especially where the team is already strongest. That could be a sensible move given Serie A’s pace. What do you think?
