Ooh, that's the reason we shackled Barca 0-3 etc. That statement is so wrong. We were bad, boring and incapable but def not ultra defensive.

The ability of this forum to turn absolutely everything into an Allegri discussion is astonishing. Similar to another forum, but into Messi-Ronaldo discussion
Chelsea is in a completely different situation to us. Yes, Tuchel won the CL, but they were in absolute win now mode, we're not. They spent 400m in two summers since he won the CL and he hasn't even sniffed the EPL title while playing equally disgusting football as Allegri does with far better players.
Around here 62m net spend in two summers is huge for Allegri apparently. That includes 60m for Chiesa and McK options/obligations to buy so it's actually 2m net spend. Truly comparable situations

Maybe (definitely) the latter part of that season, but until December we were just fantastic in every aspect. Injuries to Cancelo, Cuadrado, Mario ruined us.
First 27 games in Serie A that year we were at 24W 3D 0L - 75/81 pts - 2.18 goals per game, 0.6 conceded. We were absolutely toying with teams, on course for well over 100 points, but after Ajax everything fell apart

None of Milan, Inter or Napoli can afford to have players like Pogba, Paredes, Vlahovic, Chiesa, Bremer on their roster. Three of these players were the among the best players in the league when we signed them.
We have similar expectations to Chelsea except that they play in the PL and we play in a financially handicapped league with us being the most financially equipped out of any club!!
No one here even believes for a second this team can compete in Europe with the best teams. Even the hardcore Allegri haters understand that.
We are getting outplayed and embarrassed by minions in Serie A but according to you Allegri is 'building a winning culture' by not trying to lose.
Actually, even the hardcore throaters like you deserve a ban from this thread for writing stupid stuff like that which is completely insulting to the club.
Talk about delusion
Having the resources and spending them in a smart way are completely different things. I never said club doesn't have the resources, but quoting player salaries as some indication of quality is ridiculously bad, even for you.
What's worse - you who insult Pogba and think of him as a finished player and you who bitched all mercato and laughed at players signed - now using those same players as a point against Max. One of them just got here, two of them didn't touch the pitch yet and the other two are doing very well.
Last time I checked Fiorentina were neither minions or an easy opponent when we were the strongest, let alone now. Nobody else 'outplayed' us, we struggled in some games, but that is normal at this stage.
Why does your kind like to talk about throating so much? Do you do it on a daily basis and wish to have me in some kind of cult? Why do you think you have a higher moral ground than me in this discussion and why can't you handle facts (budget numbers) and why do you have an aneurysm when someone is slightly optimistic in support of his team, coach, players?
The part about having similar goals as Chelsea...man
Anything as a away to put more shit on Max if he doesn't succeed

Poor Allegri can't compete with big spenders like Milan, Fiorentina and Spezia

"I am not an obsessive manager. I really like football, it's my passion, but I try to run things as simply as possible. To me, football is not complicated, it's simple. So is the strategy of the games, it shouldn't complicate things. Because there's two aspects: defence and attack. Attacking is more about creativity, and defending is more about organization. I believe I can give more to the players in the defensive aspect than in the offensive aspect. I can organize them to defend well, but the attacking aspect is about talent and creativity and I don't want to get in the way of that talent. Am I supposed to tell Kean how to move inside the box, train certain movements with him? No, he doesn't need that. The passes that Rabiot pulls out of nowhere: do you think I ever tell him "pass the ball like this, if this player moves here you do that? No, that's all him."
