If being able to run was a requirement to be fielded by Allegri, then Alex Sandro wouldn’t play.

Was too busy concentrating on booking Locatelli for less. In summary this game has been Lazio playing with energy and trying to pass vertically against Juventus who are lifeless and are able to only pass horizontally.

I must credit him for making it so far in professional football and for making a living doing it, whilst being incapable of effectively trapping a football when that is the first thing you learn to do in this sport.

Totally agree. I’ve played CM for 10 years and recently transitioned to played LCB in a 3-5-2 for the past two. If you communicate well, it’s such a simple position to play, but if we need to chase a game and we go to a back 4, then I can get found out as I’m not an actual defender. There’s...

Also this ‘defensive’ coach has watched us concede this same goal multiple times. The wing backs who are expected to be our only outlet going forward but then have to cover the centre back, also always has to mark someone at the back post on any cross whilst the 3 CBs have the pleasure of...

Probably going full retard, but I’ve cancelled my sport subscription and won’t watch another game. I hope we lose every game for the remainder of the season if that’s what it takes for him to be gone. If we have a fire sale and have to sell our key players then so be it, it’s not like this group...

Who the fuck is he.

If he was anywhere else I’d admire him for earning so much money for such little ability and output. It’s like that big boss at your company who you know is shit, but you don’t blame for fleecing the business and punching above their weight whilst doing the bare minimum.

Just turned on, 4-3-3? Looks more like 5-4-1.

Glad I’ve missed the first half intentional. No rush to get home. Seen the 3 comments above, think I’ll avoid turning it on.

Playing as a CB in a back 3 instead of a 2 is a whole different ball game. It’s not his fault he’s always played in a team that plays in a back 3 at the top level. IIRC he played in a back 4 for one game at the WC and looked shaky, but there were other factors there too. Fact is he’s unproven...

It was 3-2 over two legs, a memorable day but I can’t sit here celebrating semi finals. The longer he hangs around, the more he may tarnish his legacy. An element of recency bias will exist. I can pretty much guarantee he won’t walk away and will fuck us financially by either collecting the...

‘Today, I have to commend the players. We had a lot of chances, hit both posts and controlled the game. We have kept a clean sheet and were able to suffer and that was missing from the previous matches.’

At this stage, we’re fairly sure that even if we did miss out, he will still be here for the final year of his contract. Teflon Don Allegri.

We can’t gain a point on Bologna this week because they actually won, so I wonder what shit he will come out with to protect his mentally fragile players incapable of producing any kind of response.
