So what? Allegri won the Serie A five times and he’s a garbage coach right now. Also, Allegri’s first stint was far more entertaining than either Sarri or Pirlo (Pirlo was a disaster for our defense btw, I have never seen a Juve defense so bad.)
In any case these things are very hard to predict. Spalletti has been a loser his entire career but his team is arguably the best team in the world right now.
What we need is a structure for building our team and a coach who can work with that team. We are still lacking that, despite Paratici’s departure.
The point is, things take time, especially when you're trying to implement new ideas or methodologies. Allegri is defense first and clearly that hasn't worked either, so we should have given Pirlo another year.

Sarri won Serie A and Pirlo was an inexperienced manager who needed more time. After years of playing regressive football under Allegri, you can't just expect things to change overnight. And I'll take Pirlo's football over the current turd ball.
pirlo nostalgia :touched: didn't he beat barca 3-0? :touched:

I guess at least Dayot has played in a WC final and Davies won a CL his first year. SO, I don't know, maybe you're right. I should just kill myself.
That escalated quickly :lol:

Don't kill yourself dude you were just being super harsh on players who've been at a super high level for a long time the moment their team has a bad season. Trent is only 24 btw.

Would you like to look at goals against in the CL so far?

Liverpool had more goals scored on them tonight than Bayern has had the entire competition.
Liverpool are having a shit season and a broken midfield, that's not news.

Napoli lost Mertens, Insigne, Ruiz, and Koulibally - that's a huge change to the team. The new players that came in have been COACHED to play a certain way. They have a pretty good defence too. They're not invincible but they have TRAINED hard and know their roles. The level of competence and chemistry is insane given their changes.

Honestly speaking:

La Liga strong teams:
Real Madrid - Very strong
Barcelona - Very strong
Atletico Madrid - Strong
Sevilla - Good but more in EL than in the CL

Serie A:
Juve - Not strong anymore but will get back eventually - When we get back we are usually in the strong bracket but unfortunately not in the very strong one.
Napoli - Very strong
Milan - Equivalent to Atletico
Inter - Equivalent to Atletico

Boundesligue (probably mispelled it):
Bayern - Very strong
Dortmund - Strong
Rest are aspiring to be strong but arent exactly there.

EPL:
Man Utd arent there yet but they are quite equivalent to Juve, they will get back there to full power sooner or later.
Liverpool - Currently on decline but they are still a force IMO
Man City - obviously very strong
Arsenal - Seems to be on the rise
Tottenham - a bit behind Atletico overall.
Chelsea - Since money is usually on their side - they will get back as well.
Newcastle - Right now they arent there but there is money involved.

Based on this EPL is indeed the strongest league but it doesnt mean an EPL side will win the CL. and yeah Im not a fan of EPL football either..

I'm aware of how old he is, it's just hard to get away from the cocksucking of EPL teams and players in the US, only because we happen to speak the same language.

Trent and Virgil are the best players to ever play in some eyes. It gets so old so quickly.
