Poor midfield. There is no one that can verticalize the game. Sideway passing...

Rumors,I say rumors because that "transfer experts " (Mombiano)says that Alegri is leaving and that we contacted Conte in the last few hours.Other says that Pep is an option.Like the transfer window on Goal.com started.

Even last season our midfield was not great but this year pjanic poor form has really cost us
Ive seen countless of times Ronaldo making runs into the box, raising his hands and no one notices him or they cant find a way to pass the ball. Poor or lack of movement where no one can play between the lines, inability to cope up with pressure, sideways and backward passing, lousy technique and ruining/slowing down promising attacks while giving enough time to opponent to organize defense and to force us into errors. I just cant see how coach like Guardiola or Klopp would make Matuidi, Bentacur or Can look better than they currently are. Pjanic has been disappointing as well. Give him more technical midfield and if our general play doesnt improve, from currently predictable and stale, come the end of next season it will be time to go separate ways.

This is it! The coach can only get so much our of players. The players need to also move and grow. If they don't it isn't always the fire the coach a new coach with the same players is like a great chef with sub par ingredients, the food will still be blah no matter how good the chef is

Liverpool's midfield isn't that much better than ours in terms of technique.

What Capitano said... You cant have one dimensional player like Matuidi in your line up. He can run, tackle, but anything more technical is a challenge. His body language is wrong when in possession. He doesnt look comfortable at all. Pjanic is another extreme, he can pass the ball, decent under pressure, the best we have atm but physically he belongs to some past generation of players. He cant beat his marker with pace, cant carry the ball forward. He is dependent on the movement around him, and if someone else can create a space, drag players away, etc... He cant win space. Overall Liverpool has more balanced midfield, no one is technically exceptional, but they are far better than Matuidi for instance, while physically they can match our most physical midfielder. You cant have extremes in the middle. We lack well rounded midfielders in this regard.

Why the hell would you replace Allegri with Conte? Those guys are similar in their playing styles and the issues that we have with Allegri applies to Conte. We were talking about Conte's cowardly football at the end of his spell here and he had the same issues over at Chelsea.

I'd rather keep Allegri than getting Conte.

I don't mind Allegri leaving but to bring back Conte? Seriously now...
