Hereby I want to denounce the terms JJihadball and Allegrisaurus in connection with this team.
Dinosaurs are powerful gigantic creatures who hunt other gigantic creatures . Max would just lay down and starve & die and his last words would be 'The others don't know anything about hunting'
JJihad is surprising and explosive. Determined men and women send blow themselves up because man in the sky said so. Max would just land the plane in Florida and go to one of these 5am breakfasts where you get liver & onions for 5% off with a coupon
I propose the term Hospiceball. The moment JJ team steps on the pitch it knows it's over and has no intention to do anything about anything, by design. Having surrendered on the inside It simply sits there, waiting for time to run out and hopes it won't hurt in the end.

Hmm, if I look at that squad, I see
- 1 at best average, at worst completely unreliable GK.
- a rather underwhelming backline with 2 decent-ish players & questionable backs.
- a pretty weak midfield with 1 okay player, 1 pretty big prospect & 2 players that never should have been here.
- a potentially decent enough attack.
So no, I don't see us "easily competing" for anything.
Hell, rewind the the clock 6 or so years & ask yourself who of our current bunch would get real playing time back then. It's a pretty short list: Chiesa.
Of course, all this doesn't change the fact that the majority of our performances has been really lacklustre. Nor does it excuse some of Allegri's baffling decisions.

Other Serie A teams are poorer and that includes Napoli even though they’re performing better.
Guess we’re back to blaming the squad

This isn't about Allegri. Any manager who loses 5-1 against Napoli has to walk.
But in terms of players we have a bang average roster. An expensive roster. But an average one. I don't know if Allegri is the one who insisted on certain players or if this is something that is decided higher up. But tactics aside, we've had really poor transfer periods the last couple of seasons.

This is why I'm not Juve's head scout or sporting director.
You're going to miss out on certain talents. Every once in a while a side like Napoli buys a Kvara. But my point is that we haven't bought talent of similar quality for a while now. Someone hasn't been doing his job.
Can’t disagree there. This isn’t a squad that can realistically compete against the big boys in the Champions League but for Serie A? It’s more than good enough.
There are two reasons why it might look like it isn’t. One, injuries. Two, an incompetent coach that can’t get the best out of them. It’s utterly embarrassing with how much our squad cost that we should struggle against anyone, let alone the minions in Serie A.
