In Allegri We Trust

Bentacur was only good in Allegri's first year when he was showing some promissing signs. He fizzled out quickly afterwards and became too reckless and error prone. Im glad we sold him. Loca isnt wc and will never be but Im not afraid hes gonna give the ball away in our 5 yard area (Porto).

Bentancur was never good.
he wasn't bad during the first half of the sarri season as a starter, especially when pjanic had that injury during an nt break

anyway, bentancur nostalgia is up there with pirlo/sarri nostalgia and the latest wave of the evergreen free rus movement. all of this show how utterly pathetic we became, both as a club and as a fan base

Let's face it. We have been JJ'ed.
It's nothing more pathetic than that.
The banter/Muppet era has started.
Let's pray it ends quick.

Yeah Bentacur had his limitations but atleast take his workrate and defensive solidity is twice more than jogging paredes.

it won't though. rebuild is usually slow and painful even without having a league and a federal prosecutor willing to cut your throat

also the banter era already started with paratici, the question is when we hit rock bottom. i have a feeling that it can get worse.

Next year probably. We will go down unfortunately. It would be incredible to somehow evade FIGC's witchhunt.

Nah that's just hating. He was more useful compared to this ghost

Do you all not remember his constant terrorist-level giveaways in front of our box? The constant cards for stupid fouls? There was a point where he looked ok at best, but nothing special. In our shit midfield though, doing "ok" makes you look like the best player in the world though.

People will always remember the bad things but he did his job. Loca is just invisible

I don't know what to make of it anymore. All players look shit and confused like they have never played the game before. Is he suffering from allegris shit, as many others are? Or maybe we thought he was better than he really is.

I want to see these players under a manager who let's them play the fucking game without shackles on their feet.

I think 99 percent of players would be thinking of leaving right now.

Loca is a great player, but when the whole team is playing horribly and he’s being miss-used, he’s gonna look like he’s struggling. He has the most heart out of all the mids but needs to be in a good tactical set up with proper midfielders around him. Had he gone to Arsenal he would be talked about much more. Too many injuries, instability, defensive tactics, and uncertainty outside the field that affects the players performances.

Yes but he needs to step up. His individual performances have not been stellar, and in chaotic times like these we need our key players to stand up and stand out. If he can't do that then he's not a key player.

(and like you I think he should be, I'd really like to see him succeed and stay here for a decade)
