but you said they did better than us? I think we finished just about where we deserved to in the league. We are that fucking bad. Maybe disappointing to finish behind Napoli. But we are where we should be.
I think we deserved worse but that’s beyond the point. It is what it is. We move on and do better next season.

I get bringing Allegri’s horrible brand of football we played this year as if it we could’ve got anymore close to a final playing the we do is more of a joke but then people complain RUS is an extremist.

Well some of you are being the same, just on the opposite side of the discussion.

No that's not lol. Parking the bus would be what Chelsea did to Bayern in 2012. This is not even remotely close to that.

Infact Real looked more dominant in the 2nd half. What the hell is the wrong with you people. Don't even watch the game and write a load of nonsense.
I think the point is that you can sit deep, lose the possession stat, lose the shooting stat and barely press and still win these games. There seems to be this weird belief around here among certain populace that you can only win by playing a certain way.

Also when we win a game playing like Real played today there are quite few around here who cry about negative/dino/pussy football and about how we just got butchered.

Real just did it in a CL final against arguably the best or one of the best teams in the world and did it perfectly. We do it at home against teams like Saleternia I can't even fucking spell their name.

Real could have scored more if they didn't try to pass it into the net. They had a few occasions where they were in behind or 1 v 1 or outnumbered the defence.

The thing I like about them is that every player is comfortable bringing the ball down under pressure and finding pass but they also go out and do their role well, including the dirty work.

Agreed. The difference is that Real spent the last 3-4 years rebuilding their squad, upgrading every position. We did the exact opposite. We were actually in a better position than Real in 2018-19 but Tici squandered our budget on garbage players like Arthur, Rabiot, Ramsey, Kulusevski. And our injury record just makes everything so much worse.

We play like this game in game out against the likes of Spezia not Liverpool. We complain when that's essentially the only way we approach games.

Oh and we do that and lose btw and wield worse results than Napoli

We did play attacking football in some of our biggest games this season and didn’t win any of them. Of course, at that time you guys conveniently ignored our style of play and bashed Allegri for the results. As if he is personally responsible for missing sitters lol.
Either bash him for the results, or for the style of play. Don’t pick and choose what you criticize him for to suit your argument.

Because we are a team of overpaid pussyfags, that approach is the best we can do considering our glaring mental and technical limitations. To compare us to possibly the mentally strongest team ever is beyond silly.

Dinoball is pulling teeth football at super slow tempo, sitting deep to soak pressure, give away possession etc.. that's Allegriball 95%of the time. And this season is its ugliest and least effective form.

Then there is Jihadball. On the rare occasions he decides to play attacking football, only its not following any plan or practiced patterns. It ends up looking like a collective improv by a bunch of headless chickens on a bouncy castle. It's going all out attack, wasting to of chaotic chances and of we are lucky we see vlahovic intercept a deflected Morata overhead kick in the dying minutes to score.

But more often than not, it doesn't work. Our strikers waste lots of chances because it's all improv and Allegri comes out saying "see!? That's why we sit deep and don't attack"

Throaters then call this jihadball as our best performance of the season (like the Inter performance for eg)

Case in point. Thanks for the assist :lol:


Jihadball once a blue moon is not attacking football and yes will mean your strikers will be very wasteful

Question for you, under which manager did we have our highest scoring season since 1960?
The answer is Allegri. So shut the fuck up with this Allegriball defensive nonsense. He is a manager who tries to set his team up in the best way possible with the tools available at his disposal. Yes, he did a mediocre job this season, but he was dealt a terrible hand too.
