Our midfield is utter trash.
It's impossible to control a game, to pressure more effectively or to consistently create chances with the players we have.
We were unable to pressure them and create anything in the second half.
I guess we can't expect much more from this team. Finishing in second place this season will be a small victory.
It will be nothing short of a miracle if we can finish in the top 4 this season.
There's not enough talent in the roster, Allegri is a fossil in the bench and there seems to be an endless stream of off-field issues. In short, a recipe for disaster.
Regardless of the outcome of this case, the truth is that online betting has spread like a cancer and ruined whatever was left of sporting integrity in professional football.
It's a purely entertainment business now, much like WWE. In that sense, one could argue that these addicts and frauds...
Exactly.
We'll have to grind this one out. It's going to be a long season with this roster and Allegri's catenaccio but it's realistically the best we can hope for at this moment.
If we can manage to finish top 4 at the end of the season, it'll be a huge success given the place we're at now.
This blow surely represents the end of his career.
A sad end, I must say. Pogba felt pressured to return back to form, hence the substance use. Many players do it in those circumstances, make no mistake, but he was unfortunate to have gotten caught.
