These discussions whether it was Tici , Marotta or whoever to blame for this or that, serves no purpose whatsoever tbh. Its in the past and whats done is done.
The choice is still there to fix these issues or continue to dig our graves even deeper.
- The match yesterday was a clear indication of this squads glaring depth issues and limitations. It has been obvious to anyone with half a footballing brain for some time, but yesterday was one of the biggest proof of it so far. If Max cant see these issues and fail to act upon them, there can be no defence of it whatsoever and his positon has to be under big question marks. No other option. And this is coming from a pro Allegri stan such as myself.
I will personally hold my final judgement on the coach/leadership for these issues :
Concerns and problems that needs to be adressed
- Either Max swallows his pride for once and admits this squad is completely crippled in midfield (either fix it by bringing someone in, or start giving our youngsters a chance). He simply must be able to adapt to this situation :
Or, the alternative: continuing with the same jihad setup, means we will have to rely on Pogba to slot in when he returns and pretty much fix these problems alone, which im not very hopeful of and would lead to an over-reliance on one player.
- Imo: bring in Depay: he may be a douchebag but would at least give us some depth and creative output. Beggars cant be choosers.
- Milik should be an absolute no go. He represents everything we dont need.
- Paredes should only be taken on loan, or a short term contract as an absolute emergency fix.
- Keep our youngsters and play them: loaning out Fagioli etc makes no sense in our current situation, unless they are replaced with someone useful.
- Do what is necessary to make a push for the likes of SMS as soon as possible: this midfield needs surgery and we have to prioritize it asap.
These issues and how they will be managed will show if this coach has any drip left in him or if its time to go. Because you have to be absolutely blind to not be concerned with yesterdays match.
