We had about 10 players out injured, a psychologically damaged team in the dumps and a terrorist as the manager. It’s the best we can hope for in the current circumstance. Just cobble as many points together this season and hope for a major overhaul in the summer.

I agree that it doesn’t really work anymore. Sitting that deep and not putting any pressure on the ball, especially in the VAR era is going to burn you with far more regularity.

Even then, he’s not ready to play there because he ‘hasn’t learned the movements.’

Yeah, I still like the guy but I can’t accept paying 80 million for a footballer who struggles to control the ball and regularly has as shit a first touch as he does as acceptable business.

I can’t ever remember Barzagli backing off 5-10 yards off the ball unnecessarily before. I saw Chiellini do it a few times, last time was against North Macedonia in that qualifier, but I can’t recall Barzagli ever looking fearful and doing shit like that.

No, we will endure McKennie - Rabbit - Locatelli until the end of the season barring injuries.

Comes on, backs off the ball that leads to a corner. Then dangles a foot from a shot outside the box that hits the post. Allegri thinks that he’s bringing Barzagli on to shore up the defence, but all he’s bringing on is a washed up turd.

Someone who can pick his head up and attempt forward passes whilst constantly showing for the ball instead of simple sideways and backwards passes. He doesn’t belong here.

Glad I missed the majority of what sounds like shit and tuned in to see a moment of quality from beans.

When we lost at home against Empoli in August 2021. Being outplayed and beaten at home by a minnow after a month in charge killed him. That loss was normalised at the time and made him believe his team was average to poor. From that point on under Max we’ve largely stopped attacking games and...

I wish that final 15 minutes didn’t happen because yet again it detracts from the fact a Portuguese team toyed with us like we were a team in a division below them, in a cup game. The cameo from Iling Jr will now be the takeaway, instead of focusing on the atrocious attitude and tactics this...

We still haven’t hit rock bottom yet, I feel there are lower levels to hit yet this season.

Yeah, football is fun and a lot more easier when you can look after that round object bobbling around on the pitch. Our terrorist kills their interest in playing the sport, which then manifests into lethargy or feigning injuries to get out of what feels like a chore.

It’s the passive mentality that is unacceptable. McKennie can’t be bothered to close the cross for the first goal, exactly like Maccabi. Danilo is too scared to close the ball and get tight to Joao Mario for the third. Players letting the ball bounce around them. Just a bunch of passive players...

Just feels like every time we build any kind of momentum this season, it gets killed by bad luck, atrocious refereeing decisions or individual errors.

No me neither, but my point is that is the kind of message Allegri is sending him with that decision.

Whilst indirectly saying Raguno was shit in the last CL game, so ‘you can’t be any worse.’

As do I, but a humbling here would psychologically damage the mentally fragile collection of players in the squad ahead of that game.

Enjoyed the serious attitude they displayed for once. Vlahovic shoving the defender after he tried to get him up, Rabiot getting in the face of Satriano and then teammates following up and intimidating him. There’s always been a nastiness we’ve exhibited and we used to be horrible to play...

Yeah, I see Rugani and Kean. I’m not watching.
