I don't love Rabiot. Just find it a bit much when people think that some of these guys would be an improvement over him. Still a long way to go to reach that level for many of these guys. And anyways I wasn't even being super serious with my initial post.

If our superior youth team is already down 2-0 just imagine how much our first team with Rabiot and the likes would lose.

Big mistake by Miretti.

The bolded part is very important and that's what you are missing. You need to evaluate what situations are dangerous and not only count situations that end in a shot. The models these guys use are much more descriptive of the game than a simple xG model that has some serious limitations. Or...

xG does not show the amount of goalscoring opportunities. I'm all for using stats but at least try to understand them before making erroneous conclusions based on them.

The most significant defensive improvement came very early in the season when there was a drop in the amount of goals we conceded. The graph I posted is a visual representation of that early improvement.

I think everyone obviously wants to see better results going forward. I doubt anyone would be happy with 3 more years of Allegri if it meant 3 more seasons with similar results compared to this one. 1650529892

Don't disagree. However I just think it's a bit premature to make any conclusions about his ability to build squads based on these 8 months he has been back here. I think there has been enough progress this season to remain positive about the future. I know we see football very differently and...

He has build multiple winning teams so clearly he at least was able to do it before, the jury is still out whether he's able to do it this time around. Getting back to being a top 4 team will take time even if we do all the right things. We need to take it one step at a time. First we need to...

You definitely can't blame RUS for the lack of effort in that quest. Wouldn't call the end product "balance" though. Restoring havoc would be more apt.

Link please. I'm not familiar with this discussion.

The amount of Juventini heart attacks is going to reach a new high after comments like these.

Did you join the wrong forum? Accidentally typed tuz.com instead of pizza.com?

And what philosophy is that? Allegri, Sarri and Pirlo all have different philosophies compared to each other.

Good and pretty routine win in the end. The whole midfield had a really good game imo. Danilo, Zak and Rabiot all put in a massive effort tonight.

Sadly I don't think there's a site that keeps track of xGoals for Coppa Italia games :sigh:

Decent start from us. Fiorentina have been absolutely atrocious though and we really need to punish them for all the positional mistakes they keep making.

Midfield is definitely not helping him. However I think that as a defender you need to try and prevent the bigger danger in those situations and in that situation Arnautovic is a bigger threat than Soriano shooting from outside of the box. He should only rush towards the ball as a last resort...

Perin Danilo - Bonucci - De Ligt - Mattia Zakaria - Rabiot Cuads - Dybala - Berna Vlahovic
