Another rookie, just what we need

- - - Updated - - -

Ah yes suddenly this group that has brought in professionals like Vlahovic, Chiesa, Kostic, Di Maria, Bremer, Miretti and Locatelli is untrainable but the team with Ramsey, Costa, Bernardeschi, Bentancur, fat Higuian, etc was the trainable team.
Ronaldo, Pjanic, Matuidi, Buffon, Dybala, Cuadrado didn't exist in your 2020? Why even single out a small group of players to make a point that's not there?

But are any of the sources reliable? I've yet to read anything that states that he has a significant influence in the mercato and simply suggestions he requested a player e.g. Paredes, Milik. Given we've been linked with both before Allegri it is possible he didn't specifically ask for them.

There are enough things to criticise Allegri for without making out he is responsible for squad building when we have had/have sporting directors whose main function is doing that.
Same rumours about Allegri wanting Zakaria and then transfering him six months on deadline day when we didn't need to do it. Anyways done with both Agnelli and Allegri for this deep rooted mess that will take some years to get out of it.

I actually agree with Andries on this one.

Allegri is acting like he needs a brain scan due to some horrible car accident injury to his frontal lobe, yes. But this goes beyond just his choices. This is mismanagement at the president on down level.
Some of you people either have a very short memory or must be 16 years old. Allegri has won lots with us and got us to a CL final twice. And realistically, how much is a coach to blame for the failure of an organization? He's just an easy target. The truth is we've been doing some very stupid shit ever since Marotta left and we're paying for our mistakes now. We need to rebuild as a club. Not just fire a coach and get someone else.
I call that 100% bullshit.

I honestly don't know how can both of you be so one sided here. Sure, he did take us to the CL final. And? If a coach succeeded at one point of his career doesn't mean he's a granted success. Just look at Mourinho for example.

But sure, let's talk about it. Have you even watched Juve this season? That's not even football. Hell, that's not even anti football. That looks like randomly assembled team from the streets. There is literally zero organization there. Z-e-r-o. Yes, we're not a top club at this point, I think we can all agree on that. But what we're seeing here, despite the missmanagement, is way below the expectations here, give me a fucking break.

Sampdoria-Juventus 0:0
Juventus-Roma 1:1
Fiorentina-Juventus 1:1
Juventus-Salernitana 2:2
Monza-Juventus 1:0
Juventus-Benfica 1:2
Maccabi-Juventus 2:0

And it's only fucking November. Did you notice something among these results? Yes, I have skipped on PSG game. Do you know why? Because that's totally fine. Of course I'm gonna keep my mouth shut if we lose against City, Bayern, PSG, (insert top EPL teams), Real and others. I'm very aware we're not on that level and there's no shame there. But stop living in some dream world of yours where you justify every bad thing that happens. Oh it's management, huuur duuur. Yes, our management made horrible moves, they did. Unfortunately they still do. But that DOES NOT change the fact that we should be dropping points against those teams listed above. Sure, we might drop some, but all of those matches? I do not expect a CL title but you can't lose against Spezia, Salernitana and others. You might say Roma are good but they are actually horrible just like Fiorentina. That is simply disgusting and nothing but disappointing. Our wage bill was drastically reduced but it's still big and eventhough you may call out on the management again there's no way you can keep Allegri clean out of this argument. When he came here people were whining how he needs time. At this point it's obvious that time didn't help him one bit. We're just as bad as we were with lots of money spent too. We play like shit. Our defence is shit. Our midfield is shit. Our organization is shit. Shit clubs dominate against us. And you dare to say that Allegri is a CL finalist? LOL, like that matters. Nobody remembers teams that ended second. It WAS a huge success but if he doesn't deliver, and he fucking does not, he should take a huge part of that blame because it's him leading this disaster. Whatever people might say, but we don't have such a bad team. At least not THIS bad. I know some will now say OH BUT IT IS THIS BAD, but that's also bullshit. Just look at our opponents. You wanna tell me that our players are on par with them? Spezia? Maccabi? Sampdoria? There are so many teams out there who were a big surprise. Hell, even a broke team like Zvezda managed to do great things and manage to fight in a group with Liverpool, PSG and Napoli. Hell, they even managed to win there. They were playing with their lungs out and we don't even care to bother, we let shit teams run over us. Players don't care? A proper coach would make them care and be motivated. Allegri is failing in that aspect too. It seems that his CALMA is doing wonders, because our team is fucking dead calm.

Look at Yanited every year they blame the manager, sack manager after manager, and where does it get them? Nowhere when the club is run like shit and they've actually got the budget to rebuild the team unlike us but even that money doesn't count for shit when the club is run by bumbling retards

We also changed coaches regularely until the proper coach arrived who turned the table immediately. Not after some time to settle but actually instantly.

That's what I'm saying. We changed so many players and still it's the players who are untrainable? Our club is just leaking shit to cover Allegri now. It's embarrassing. All those players we brought in have been nothing but professional for their whole careers. I could see if we brought in a couple Douglas Costas or something. We didn't.
i think this is wrong on a few points mike

- it's not only about the players we recently bought. bonucci, tek, mds, sandro, cuadrado and maybe a few others were here with sarri too, they were part of that untrainable bunch and only aged in the last few years. see cuadrado, he was great for many seasons under allegri, sarri and pirlo, then you're telling me that suddenly allegri turned him into shit for this year?
- sarri had a much, much stronger squad, it's not even comparable. and the downgrade is real, either because of age, or because of bad replacements. rabiot is better than matuidi, vlahovic is better than 2019 higuain, others either aged or simply worse.
- some new players don't even underperform. i've been happy with milik and bremer. kostic and vlahovic are badly underperforming, that's undeniable. zakaria was never a great player to begin with, and his chelsea stint kinda confirms that.
- being untrainable isn't really about quality, it's about a collective state of players who consider themselves more important than the group. bonucci is surely one of these, i dunno how toxic his mentality is.
- you're saying that all those players we brought in have been nothing but professional. what about gatti who never played a serie a match? what about di maria who needed a summer long courting just to not wait anymore for a spanish offer, and is only here because of the world cup, for a single season? kean the exemplary professional? pogba the other exemplary professional, the guy who way stripped of capitancy by mourinho, who's been lazy af and injury prone for years? paredes who never managed to cement his starting position at psg, who suffered like 4-5 minor injuries last season, and who wanted to join because of di maria and the world cup? you expect full dedication and performance from those? and some of these players aren't terrible, even good if you look at them in a vacuum, but for a rebuild, only gatti makes any sense. and yes, i'd also sign di maria on a free - but not without a proper backup considering his age, injury record and dedication. but pogba, kean or gatti? forget the first two, gatti is a bench player at best anyway.
- club isn't exactly leaking, it was the president who explicitly said after the final whistle at haifa that he stood by the coach, period. the club couldn't be more explicit.

again, for the slow bunch: we're not talking about covering allegri, he's probably beyond repair and should have been sacked already. we're talking about the issue not being one dimensional. our players are never to blame, right? cause football is simple, you just need your fullbacks at vlahovic's level, defend with a high line, run and put locatelli in the box, and if you tell 'em, they'll do as ordered, right?

Doesn't mean you should just keep firing coaches until you recreate the magic of first conte season. Kind of an insanely unrealistic target imo
When you sign Ronaldo to win the champions League which doesn't happen then easiest scapegoat is the coach and deeply compromise the financial management of the club.

You lose a lot of credibility when you say he led us to the CL final once. He did it two times.

It's not November either, it's October.

Someone who has won more than Allegri, more I think about it the more I warm to the idea, especially as I was watching River vs platense last night

Well allegri was somewhat impatient when he had to wait a while on paredes, di maria and the vice Vlahovic (milik)

Oh, okay. That sums up on how to defend Allegri here, bring up how I misspoke.

2. Sure. Mourinho won it two times but he's a dogshit coach at this point. That means nothing. Past success means nothing if he's not delivering at present. And he's not.

isn't it funny players are attacked and we scream sell if they have a bad season or two? even if they were great in past? how many people demanded dybala be let go? we see the same with bonucci and cuadrado

but somehow allegri needs to be protected because of 3-0 barca. something that was done not even recently but 6 seasons ago lmao. why does allegri get a pass?

that untrainable bunch contained cristiano fucking ronaldo, and also had a few players with plenty of experience (dybala, higuain, pjanic, buffon, etc) who'd walk into this team if they were available at that age and physical state. the locker also had important leaders. still, sarri almost lost the league and was saved by the covid break despite a pretty strong start that went to shit when he started to implement his own ideas and when pjanic never recovered from his injury. sarri nostalgia is the 2nd least understandable juventino thing, almost up there with pirlo nostalgia

no thanks, 1 year of sarrismo was plenty. the constant search for a trequartista when there wasn't any in the squad, playing high for the sake of it and getting countered regularly, the zonal marking bs at defending set pieces, it was a complete nightmare of a season with a fitting ending after 8 years of organized juventus
I didn't say Sarri should train Jj now. I hated his games then and I would hate them now.
I didn't like Pirlo way of leading the team also. But allegri managed to be worse than both of them, which is achievement you and his supporters shouldn't be proud of.

You might not win the UCL, but you might be better than this. I mean, come on, blaming the players for Maccabi? We are sitting in two banks of four in our box with Rugani back there. What do we expect? They hit crosses, it's not difficult to predict. A couple come close and finally one goes in.

Close down the wings against minnows and what do they have left to do. No, of course we just sit in and let the cross come.

McKennie at RM in a deep, narrow, 4-4-2 and we blame the players. Look at the first goal and the time and space! It's the coach who did that. We have Di Maria who played 20 years as a RW and he comes here to play SS and defend the air in the classic 2 striker setup from Sunday League.
