It's too simplistic to think Juve are happy to get to the knockout phase of the Champions League. The boys must become aware of their quality."
This is our main problem. We have seen how good almost each and every player we have can be. On paper we have a very powerful squad at its peak. But we still dont play with the arrogance and authority of a big team in Europe. We are more like Arsenal hoping that we have a good night and are never playing like clear favorites. When we are against a big team we play like arsenal praying for a miracle. Even as fans we dont have confidence that the team will win the matches it should win.
Having said that Allegri is not the man for the job of instilling that character into our players. He can keep the ship steady but we dont excel. If anything I see a regress against the big teams in Italy. We played Roma with fear and won thanks to refereeing errors and great fortune while against napoli we showed the same fear and never dominated them. Against Inter we need to obliterate them to restore our arrogance in Italy atleast.

I really like Allegri tbh. I remember watching his declining Milan teams fare very well against Barcelona. The man knows how to compete in Europe. Its hard to criticize him for what happened in Milan. His team in a span of a year or two lost Ibra, T.Silva, all their veterans who kept the winning culture there (Van Bommel, Ambrosini, Gattuso, Zambrotta, Seedorf, Nesta, Boateng), and other talent (Pato, Cassano).
He managed to get a third place finish, aided by the acquisition of Balotelli at the expense of a budding Stephan El Shaarawy who had carried the team through the first half of the year. The following year, Balotelli's true colours came out, El Shaarawy got hurt, Kaka was cacca, and Robinho just sat there with a shit-eating grin on his face collecting his wages.
For a coach, that's got to feel like his team just got hit by a hurricane.
