People hail this Milan, lol.

They were horrible for 90 minutes, they were lucky as shit. No way they can be title contenders. No fucking way.
Horrible? They did what they went in there to do. No team in the world is going into Barcelona and matching them from an attacking standpoint, especially without your two best strikers. Milan defended pretty comfortably and shut down Barca for large stretches of the match. There's literally no other team in the world that could have done what Milan did today.

Ambro is better than this but the team isn't up to speed yet - need another 4-5 or so competitive games to get their shit together.

Obviously can't be happy about the play but can't blame Allegri too much considering the above - it's a long season, no need to compromise the preparation for it just to be at the top in the first game.
I meant in general for Allegri, agree on first point. The influential names missing made it look a rather good result, as well as seemingly playing with 10 men for most of the game, the team should be alright for the knockouts.

I think he is a very good coach, good psychologist and tactician too - knows how to treat players right and get the best out of them - kind of like Mourinho, only I consider Allegri the better tactician of the two.

Allegri can make his team play some sweet football, nothing like this catenaccio we just saw, but he needs reinforcements for all this and hope the stingy transfer policy soon changes - even an amazing coach can do only so much if he is given former greats to work with.

This being said, he is still growing as a manager and needs to take it up a notch or two to be a CL-winning level coach.

He did say tactician, not coach. I don't know enough about him to compare, but Mourinho's main strength is certainly his motivational skills, complete with nonsense.

But he's great tactician,His subs are in majority spot on, very flexible coach. And he along Hiddink were the only coachs able to stop this Barca team and deprive them from playing their style of football.

I don't agree tactics-wise - Mourinho has always had top-notch players to work with and has managed to give his teams a winning mentality - he sure knows how to get the best of his players - but his tactics, unless he decides to play catenaccio, have been sub-par, not his best attribute by a long shot (refer to Rafa the waiter if you on't believe me ;) )
Would love to see Allegri, Carlo, Hiddink get their hands on the players Mou has had the chance to work with
