Massimiliano Allegri (285 Viewers)

What worries me the most is not the lack of quality or depth but the fact that we have problems and still grinding positive results. Last season at the beginning we had the same problems but were not getting the results which made us react to that and do something about it. Thsi time around we might get complacent that the results come no matter what.

Our midfield problems are obvious. At times we are so slow it scares me.

 

[PedroFlu]

1) Because he has MUCH more time and less pressure and can cherry pick the target, and 70% are sideways passes to bonucci or backwards passes to buffon

2)Cause in a 3-5-2 one cb is always beeing a passing option on the wing, and one of the other cb's will be used to switch to the other flank when the midfield is covered. its one of the reasons a 3-5- 2 is tricky to play against as the defence is very versatile in giving options to switch the play when wanting to keep possession instead of passing into space

3)they are in a $#@!ty form, cause they should be doing much, much better

Allegri said he sees Pjanic as a mezzala before the season
Pjanic played his best games at roma as a mezzala
Pjanic was used ONCE as a regista by allegri. How is that "pushing it"

Allegri trained Pjanic as a regista during whole preseason and repeatedly talked about this being his best position

Allegri said he sees Pjanic as a mezzala, and you made that regista thing up

Thing is they know this isn't good enough, at least the players will admit to it publicly like Buffon and Bonucci.

Allegri also says all the time that the game must improve.

They are all very aware of this. In great part it's on Marotta, because the squad was poorly constructed - glaring need in midfield, as everybody knows it. In other part, Allegri hasn't seem to be done enough to change this pattern.

 

[Zacheryah]

Looking at our trophee's records and silverware, and our current position in serie a and the CL

yes, allegri and marotta failed very hard

Troll, google it.

 

[Bianconero81]

Current position belies the actual quality of our football. Our midfield is slow, predictable, and weak, regardless of our position. Anyone who says otherwise is clearly blind or biased beyond belief. If we wish to make an impact in Europe, we are going to have to convince, and possibly entertain, and we are failing miserably on both counts at present.

 

[Kopanja]

lol at people crying here

 

[Post Ironic]

Beat Napoli and back to crying already I see.

Apparently, being +4 in the table and tops of our CL group right now means we are failing miserably and will never compete. Probably can't improve over the next few months either, because teams never improve over the course of the season.

Some people just love to complain

I wonder how all our rivals (if we have such a thing), feel like reading this.

Hernanes 100 times better than Marchisio?

Are you high?

The guy is a failed troll who's main thing is acting like Marchisio is an inferior version of De Ceglie but in the center

 

[Hist]

Yep. Marchisio was our best CM in 2014-15. By a clear margin.

True, but marchisio at his personal peak is far from Pirlo's best.

100% agree. I don't think I've ever said different. Pirlo 11/12 > Marchisio 14/15 by a good margin. And that's nothing against Marchisio, as over the last 2 seasons I believe he's been one of the best CMs in football (and definitely the most underrated), but Pirlo was the very best CM in football in 11/12 and through Euro 2012. By far.

 

[lgorTudor]

Why is everybody comparing Marchisio and Pirlo? Do you also compare Bonucci and Alex Sandro?

 

[Lion]

apparently some members here think that criticism = whining or crying
i hope those butthurt members get cancer

 

[Trequartista]

It's not whining. We're not going to win the CL if we play like this, not even close.

Hopefully Witsel coming in January will help but he's going to be cup tied. Mandragora might play in the second half of the season but I doubt he'll have much of an impact.

We need to find a way to make Pjanic perform, otherwise we're not going to do anything in Europe.

With Marchisio coming back, Pjanic should be a bit better. To make it even better, I think we should play Lemina as B2B more. Kherdia can't play 3 matches in a row anyway and Lemina would make up for Pjanic's physical and overall defensive weakness. He'd add more dynamism and toughness to the midfield as well.

The other part is linked to the system, I'm afraid. Pjanic needs runners who attack open spaces and move a lot. Otherwise all he'll do is some back passes.

Allegri surely has a headache when it comes to Pjanic and he has to readjust the system. We're not getting the most out of Higuain either so there's a lot of things to improve despite the fact we're winning most of our matches.

Yeah Lemina rotating with Khedira would be good.

I don't think Witsel is cup tied
