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.

With the pace he's going right now the time will run out for him in no time.

He is Conte's template with regards to using the same system but the difference in motivational skills is huge between the two. Allegri hasnt motivated pirlo or vidal yet which are our most influential players... the two worldclass players on the team.

He said on ESPN today: I would be stupid to change from 3-5-2, a formation this team is used to and have the players for, I have to show more flexibility with my ideas and methods to fit the team not vice versa

MY biggest problem with Allegri is that he is using the same style of play that Conte did. Which imo was shitty as fuk and should have been thrown away for good. We were lucky to get a lot of points last year(and flopped in Europe), but we were almost never playing good football. I don't know if it's the formation or whatever, but we probably play the most stupid football in Europe, which shows in the CL.
