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.
