'Juventus have been a disaster, but…’

Juventus Coach Massimiliano Allegri has admitted that his side’s away form has been 'disastrous’ of late.

The Bianconeri went down 1-0 at Genoa on Wednesday night, following a draw away to Sassuolo and defeats on the road to Atletico Madrid and Olympiacos in the Champions League.

Their tactician and former Milan Coach has admitted that results have not been good enough, but shrugged off talk of a crisis.

“The last two away games have not been good,” Allegri conceded in his Press conference ahead of the trip to Empoli.

“In fact, in terms of results, they’ve been a disaster, because we got a point at Sassuolo and lost to Genoa.

“Crisis? At Juventus when you lose one game there’s talk of a crisis, particularly from outside.

“I don’t think it’s time to talk about a crisis, rather we should talk about the two or three games where the team has created a lot, converted little and on the two or three occasions where we gave our opponents a chance we’ve conceded a goal.

“That’s not an excuse, it’s a statement of fact.

“Tomorrow we have to do more to try and - above all - score, because we can’t make mistakes in front of goal as well.

“And we have to be especially careful not to allow our opponents even a few chances.”

That win against Roma, regardless of how sweet it were is back biting us in the ass. We have become extremely sloppy afterwards and they have grown stronger. A very early shift in momentum in the league and something has to be done about it.

Lets look at Contes Juve last year. Despite playing like shit in Serie A we still were able to grind out results. Now regardless of our results in europe, we arent winning convincingly in serie a. The saddest part is Allegri is doing nothing. If we are going to have a guy who just sits on the bench and plays the same team every game, why do we even have him?

All this criticism Allegri is getting is mostly uncalled for.

He is still using Conte's template, and rightly so (for now). After 3 years of playing the same way with the same players, do you think he was going to come in and automatically change things? Course not.

It will be a gradual thing, also it doesn't help that the players he needs for a four men back line haven't been available to him yet (Barza being the main one)

I'm not the biggest fan of him, but he isn't getting criticism from me until we lose playing his system with with his players.

The bare fact is that the time needs fresh blood, how many players made it through the entire Lippi era? Not many (Deschamps, DP, Ferrara,Peruzzi come to mind), because he kept chopping and changing players every season to keep the team motivated.

I'm sure he realises the 3-5-2 isn't best for our long term prosperity, it will be only a matter of time until he changes it.

But thats the problem, why isn't he implementing his style? There are like no signs, he just tinkered with some adjustments. slowly we should be moving to something new but we arent
