It has sucked for a long time. I have been happy just grinding out results the past month. The players needed that mental boost of knowing they can win. But it hasn't hasn't pretty, and I'm not sure we will get there anytime soon. We are yet to see a best or consistent 11 used. Allegri is still a mother month away from probably working out what best suits this team. Even then I don't think he will ever find it...we have a handful of quality players, another handful who are probably just good enough to make the squad and then we have filth that should be banished.
A few good results makes people forget the last 2-3 years.
Chiesa is trying too hard. He can't do it all by himself like Ronaldo could, so there's no reason to try. He needs to play with more intelligence. But who knows what Allegri is telling him to do since now he's a "striker", or something. Chiesa was seemingly doing fine until then, now the player is more confused than an alter boy in a Comet Pizza bathroom.
Showing he is a team player and gives a fuck if a team is on the counter and runs back to help out isn't a bad thing. It shows others need to lift their game and actually care out there. Ronaldo didn't do it all, others worked for him...chiesa doesn't get that treatment nor should he cuz that isn't how a team should play.
i disagree. ronaldo did it a few times last season and seaons before. i remember during a draw when were down to 10 men ronaldo was back defending the right flank around our corner area in dying minutes.
it's simply bad tactics that players who are good at attacking are being forced to play defensive football.

He's played like shit for the last couple of games. It's fine to go through bad spells sometimes, but people are making excuses for his bad performances and putting them on Allegri. He should be our main creative force yet we can barely muster a single goal against minnow sides. I love that Chiesa shows heart and courage by bombarding down to defense on full sprint to win the ball, but I have to agree with Lion here and say that is absolutely destructive to be doing constantly and that is definitely not an Allegri instruction. You do that for the last 10 minutes defending a lead, not at minute 30 when your focus should be sprinting up the flanks.
