I dont think any of us know what to expect with our new coach Allegri. We have to wait and see how he wants the team to play. I was not very impressed with him at Milan though so lets see how it goes.

I think one of the problems was Conte had a tendency to consider every single game of the season and the CL as the most important game of the year. This was alright his first season, and possibly even the second, as we were not favourites, or not as much as in the third season, and we didn't have the firepower up front... But last season, you could clearly see this approach was burning out our players. The pressure and intensity was too high to maintain that level constantly, and we saw it in the CL with our forwards missing an epic number of chances in those first three matches. I mean we outshot Gala like 26-7 or something, with something like 15 attempts from inside the box, and then Copenhagen was at like 27-9, with like 18 in the box. Our forwards and mids missed so many good chances.
Conte seemed to pile too much pressure on even against the lowliest of squads, and then we came to those big UCL matches our players just cracked and could not finish. It was rather constant in Europe for 2 years, with occasional matches where we broke loose, but for the most part we could not finish.

Our system was also not the best for this kind of games.
Our 352 was good when the games were tied or we winning. But when trailing, or forced to impose an offensive approach, when lacked a lot. And when we were trailing and in the 2nd half, it was almost a lost cause. Tired legs, nerviosism and lack of ideas were rampant. Our 352 turned in the infamous 532 and long balls galore. Naturally our wingers were drained enought to simply not risk it offensively and just stay on position.
I dont want any mre of that. We need a formation or a gameplan that keep the compactness our team already has, but that let us create chances more naturally intead of basing our games in moment of magic from soemone or by pure brute force. Sometimes you need efficiency when attackiing, and to do that we also need players of high technical play. Im hoping that in this regard, new guys like Coman come into play. I know is too early to say, but u get the idea.
More than to be reliant on someone, we need to change our mentality above everything else, and our gameplan.
