    Massimiliano Allegri

    Last season we played 442 most of the time so he was always going to be labeled as a CF, but I certainly never felt he played as a number 9 because he was moving around a lot. That is different to what Allegri does with his strikers. Under Sarri he scored 20 goals as LW and 13 as CF. With...

    Massimiliano Allegri

    Yeah they come for the ball deep, play with their back to the goal, carry defenders on their back sometimes, play a quick pass to the side and then sprint to the box. None of which Cristiano ever did. He is a faceup player, going at defenders. But to do that you need someone behind the defense...

    Manuel Locatelli - DM - Sassuolo

    Neither of those should be sold. We need Locatelli, backup for him and backup for Rabiot if Fagioli is not counted on. Rabiot is very good, not class, but good. McKennie-Locatelli-Rabiot has no major weaknesses and they're all complementary to each other.

    Massimiliano Allegri

    He's not a winger either, he's Ronaldo. He doesn't have a set position, but he doesn't have the mentality, patience and movement of a #9. He's so used to having the ball that even when he starts as #9 he moves out a lot and leaves the box empty. Maybe for a game here and there as I said playing...

    Massimiliano Allegri

    Because he is not a #9 and will never be one. Especially against most teams in Serie A that will defend against us. In CL in some games when we play on counters maybe, but he should never play there full time or even most of the time.

    Massimiliano Allegri

    Agresti says McKennie has really impressed the staff so far with his ability and physical preparation. 433 will be the starting formation, 4231 as backup, Dybala more likely to play in the latter more. Right now the starting idea is CR-Morata-Chiesa

    Could not happen to better people than him and Jrue. And CP gets the raw end of the stick again, just delightful

    Weston “Chubby Bunny” McKennie

    I am not saying he is going to be or that he even can be as good as Vidal Just that he has a lot of the same qualities (not as good at them) as Vidal and he is clearly a b2b mid, not what Pirlo tried.

    Weston “Chubby Bunny” McKennie

    How does Pirlo play with Vidal and then not recognize a lot of the same qualities in this kid and instead plays him in some hybrid mid/wing position? - high motor - intelligent movement - good finisher - good tackler - great first touch and those little 1-2 touches that Vidal did a lot as well...
