Yes, Rabiot and Arthur are pussies but Allegri has coached almost all these players before (you could probably make a full XI of players he has coached before). The only ones he hasn't coached are basically our best players: MDL, Chiesa, Locatelli, McKennie 
They all understood his dacdics years ago but don't now? Allegri is just not keeping up with football IMO.

He also had Ronaldo or Higuain up front. Mandzukic too. Plus BBC and Buffon at the back. The core of that squad was filled with Intelligent and experienced players, with an excellent attitude. On the bench you had Rabiot and Bentancur where their role was far smaller than what it is now, especially in terms of providing leadership.
Compare that to now where our most experienced mid is Rabiot at 26 and not a leader in any way. The squad is filled with inexperienced flaky players who seem to down tools as soon as something goes against them. Changing that sort of attitude, especially when in a slump doesn't happen immediately.
I actually think we would be far ahead of where we are now had Tek not thrown those games at the start of the season. All that positivity and hype vanished quickly when we dropped those points. Momentum is huge in football and we should have built it then.

2 years ago he had one of the best first half of seasons ever, i didn't check but it must be pretty close to the best ever start of a serie a season by any club. then football changed so much that he simply became obsolete. 
tell me honestly, how many of our current players could start for juve between '14-18? for me, maybe locatelli, and a healthy chiesa certainly, and that's probably all.
but we expect the same results.

When we press these small teams, they literally pass the ball right back to us. But we refuse to do it consistently.
Morata, Dybala, Bernardeschi, Cuadrado, Bentancur, Alex Sandro, Chiellini, Bonucci, De Sciglio, Szczesny. He has coached all these players before. These are all among the most played players. Then you add Chiesa, MDL, Locatelli and Danilo (who are GOOD players). So the players who are foreign to Allegri are most likely fine. The rest should understand what he wants.
The only pussy that regularly plays is Rabiot and it's not like there's a gun to Max's head. Max picks him and puts him at LM!!

All y’all went on and on about xGoals to suggest Allegri sucked before. Well, according to xGoals we should be up in third for goals scored right now. 1 goal behind Atalanta. We’ve been terrible at finishing chances this year. No surprise given that we let Ronaldo leave one week before window ended and didn’t adequately replace him. So… that not aggressive enough is bollocks according to the very stay that was used to bash Max in the past lol
our accuracy is abysmal, no two ways about it. but when ronaldo leaves you literally after the season has already started, dybala still can't manage to stay fit for 2 months, chiesa returns with an injury from the nt, and you have kean who rarely managed to score against parked buses, then you have to rely morata. and morata LOOOOVES pressure, doesn't he 
we have ~the same amount of shots on target than atalanta. they scored 37, we scored 23. even fiorentina scored 32 goals with ~the same amount of shots on target. swap this morata or kean with zapata or vlahovic and see what happens.

I never said Allegri sucked before and you know that.

anytime he played aggressive 4-2-3-1 is fine enough. Are you happy with Rabio playing LM in 4-4-2? That's the best we can do?

Ya as a #9 all he has to do is funnel the CBs. As a #10 he can't do anything. That's why Max put McKennie and Berna in that position sometimes.

He’s been talking about how we need to be playing Dybala as a False 9 in a 4-3-3 and then talks about playing a pressing game. Dybala. Aggressive pressing.

I don’t think it’s a case of Allegri being past his sell by date but I do think he has been quite surprised at the drop off at the club over the last few years. We really can’t judge him after 6 months though. We need a few windows, there isn’t a manger in my eyes that will be able to mould this set of players, let’s face it the summer window was really poor, we lost the GOAT. Aside from Locatelli we didn’t bring anything in that improved us. We were operating on a show string. Let’s see where he is this time next year before we write Allegri off
I think we’d be pretty poor and easy to shut down with Dybala as a #9. He doesn’t have the pace, touch, or versatility of most of the non-traditional strikers who succeed in that role. When he’s in form, he’s very good at what he does, but he would make us quite one-dimensional without a foil to play off imo.
And yes, I know you weren’t one of those endlessly spouting off about Max. More of a general comment on how the “modern football”, “advanced stats” crowd only crows about those metrics until they don’t support their position.
Everyone knows we have been bad this year. Max needs to do better. He’s tinkering too much, and taking to long to sort out how to get the best out of this limited squad. The useful players we do have need to do better. Too many of them are in poor form, playing too lazily on the pitch, and doing stupid shit. Management needs to bring in a few better players. The combination of those things has made for an appalling season thus far.

fully. i can't wait to see it again
of course not. that's the most wtf thing of the last 10 years, worse than padoin as regista vs roma or sarri's experimenting with everybody bar buffon at tq lol.
anyway, i hope we stick with the 4-2-3-1 and get a decent mid and 9 in january. i reckon we'd still be higher on the table if tek didn't have an inexplicable september, morata scored some sitters, and we could count on chiesa, dybala and even your chouchou mckennie.
