should i quote myself saying many, many times that the team is shit but not this shit? team is obviously underperforming this season.
again, let's not make it black and white. there are multiple points to make that are not mutually exclusive:
- allegri is failing, no debate on this i guess, only agnelli is backing him at this point. this season is an utter failure, no two ways about it
- the quality of the team has been in a continuous decline since 2015 when we failed to replace vidal with similar quality. ever since we often did sideways steps, rarely brought in real quality to key positions, with ronaldo being the only glaring exception, and i'd also argue that higuain was a step up, although too expensive. otherwise we replaced pogba with pjanic (downgrade), chiellini with de ligt (downgrade), evra with sandro (slight upgrade), licht with cancelo (sideways step due to different skills), pjanic with arthur (huge downgrade), spina with pellegrini (clear downgrade), tevez with dybala (downgrade), de ligt with bremer (fuck knows at this point, sample too small, probably not a huge upgrade or downgrade, we'll see on the long run; i like bremer so far), bonucci with bonucci 2.0 (clear downgrade), benatia with rugani (downgrade), marchisio with bentancur/locatelli maybe (night and day), ronaldo with kean? (lol) etc etc, i could go on for an hour
- same with coaches: allegri 1.0 >>> sarri >>> pirlo >>> allegri 2.0 fuck me sideways, it breaks my heart

(((((( i so wanted both pirlo and allegri 2.0 to work.
- same with managers: marotta + tici >>> tici alone, then i honestly have no idea how to evaluate bene&bini after only 2 seasons, surely not a huge upgrade with pogba's and paredes' huge salary
- agnelli 1.0 >>> agnelli 2.0 and it's not even close
