Yes, he's brought us to 3 consecutive doubles and 2 CL finals. His teams always start slow and pick up in spring, it's been the same pattern ever since he came here, similar with Milan as well.

Might be a problem this time if Napoli stay consistent, but you're acting as if he's pulling a Del Neri.

If he keeps counting on players like Lichtsteiner/Matuidi/Barzagli/Asamoah for tough games ofc more often than not we gonna suffer like we did tonight against Lazio....
How is that down to him ? What are his options ? Beppe did a terrible mercato this summer.

A 3 man midfield could work perfectly fine. But that would require those 3 guys to actually know what they're supposed to do when they don't have the ball.
Right...
In tonights 3 man midfield was too much pressure on Bentancur because they want a rookie 20 year old to break down defences whyle also wanting him to cover defensively for our most creative and "box to box" midfielders Matuidi and Khedira ... there's no creativity from our midfield when Pjanic's out FFS and that clearly creates a whole in the way we control possesion and especially on ball transitions...

Everyone must also take into account that we got many injuryes and unfortunetely two of the most important are on the RB and CM positions... maybe it is too early to judge anyway but right now things aren't going that well..

The biggest issue is how this team comes out after half time, I still don't understand how we collapse the way we do.

Needs to be sorted out
Yep. You noticed it immediately in the first minutes.

No idea how you fix it. Beginning to wonder if we need another coach to get that kind of mental strength back because I don't think that is one of Max's strengths.

Im on your side im not putting this on Max, i was just stating the obvious, only thing id have to say to him is how can he have such blind faith in some players and claim the team is complete when it clearly isnt

As much as I want to criticise Allegri, all I'll say is that our season will be reflective of our transfer season which in my opinion was poor. I'm no Allegri fan but how can a coach keep dealing with key pieces of this team being dismantled each year ? 2017 and we're still relying on Lichtsteiner, Barzagli and Asamoah who are starting most of the games. This is why I said I have no huge expectations this year.
All of this is down to psychology.
Only way to boost team mentally now is to change the coach and implement other fresh approach.
Its not Allegris fault but that what football.is like.He needs to be sacrificed for the benefit of the whole team.

Not really disagreing the summer transferwindow was poor. But he had Dybala, Alex Sandro, Cuadrado, Bernadeshi, Rugani on the bench tonight. I am pretty sure he could find a better line up, and leave the rotation for lesser opponents.

How about not subbing in Sturaro, when we are one goal down and we have Cuadrados and Alex Sandro on the bench. How about not playing Mandzu and Asa together on the left when it clearly is not working.
