Allegri can't be blamed for this Sevilla game.
Proper line-up and spot on tactics.
It's much more about the players who fell asleep in the second half seeing BM in the lead as well as the terrible conversion rate, especially Morata.

Speaking about the crosses, Sevilla is the team that really specializes in that style no matter who they play on home turf. Don't think we allowed them too much.

And to the people saying that some of us is blaming Allegri for Morata's missed chances: we are not. We're blaming him for "setting this team up" to give away so many chances tonight. Yes, we missed a lot, but so did Sevilla. That's pretty stupid tactics, when we have been horrible, in attack, in this season.

Did you watch our game plan? We were inviting a big player to score througout the whole first half. He clearly didn't do anything, about it, in the second half. I guess City losing played a big part to it.
3-5-2 is that kind of formation in an end to end game, we left some gaps on the touchlines for their crosses, that is true. But we also tried to score, and should have, so shouldn't be completely criticised for doing that. Llorente's best two chances and goal came from corners, where we have time to organise. TBH he can be unplayable in the air, but we weren't ever going to double up on him or his ammunition. We just play our game in Europe.

Jeez, man, with our attitude tonight - we should've rested our best players. Yes, we could/should've scored 3-4 goals, but so should Sevilla.
Actually, the entire team was playing pretty good for about 55 minutes, apart from Morata who missed chances you cannot miss at this point.

As Allegri said last week, fatigue is getting into the team. Maybe thats why after 55 minutes the central midfield was a step to late everywhere, and we started leaking bad passes and controlls.


The sudden collapse of all 3 central midfielders was no coincidence. And sadly, Pogba still needs the other two cm's to play good to be able to play good himself

There was Neto Quads Rugani and three kids. Jeez man, have a look at the team sheet for a change.
:lol:

So basically Rugani and Cuadrado who I named were on the bench.

Zaza who was expected to be on the bench and mentioned as being as such in the pre-match thread was the only one who didn't make it.

The kids obviously would never have started. Either way two of the three I named could have played and rested a defender and Licht. :tup:

I don't buy it. We gave away too many opportunities (cornes, spot kicks, crosses) in the first half. Buffon saved us a couple of times. This is on Allegri and Morata. Allegri for blowing up three match balls.

We played some excellent football in the first half. Morata went full retard and it backfired.

This was a key game. So you field your strongest team. Its that simple. You dont just put some kid who has 4 minutes and cuadrado who's defensively much inferior to licht on the field cause it looks pretty.

Exactly. You need to score these open chances, or you tend to pay for those later in the game at this level.


I wonder why our central midfield suddenly collapsed so hard. Maybe fatigue ?

@Klin - I really don't know why you're defending this. When we're out, after next round, you'll go full retard attacking the usual people making up excuses about missed chances. It really looks like the "snow on the field" season right now.
