I liked a couple of things from him today: he realised Mertens was a problem and quickly changed so Licht and Caceres were out there. Also we seemed to be more intent to control the ball than against Inter and work passing triangles.

He still needs to get us to defend set pieces better and we really need to not leave ourselves exposed by over committing though.

I really like Allegri. As I mentioned a few days ago, he did a great job considering the implosion of his Milan team over a short period of time. What I didn't mention, that was even more impressive, was that despite the eventual implosion, there was a 3-4 year period where Milan began focusing on bringing in bargains by sacrificing character. This meant acquiring several "strong" personalities and reclamation projects including Cassano, Ibrahimovic, Robinho, KP Boateng, Balotelli, Mexes, Ronaldinho, Muntari. He also had a traditional core of classy Italians and well respected veterans like Van Bommel, Seedorf, Inzaghi. Balancing that dressing room, and managing that dressing room amid that flux could not have been easy. Plus you have that fool Berlusconi telling you which formations you should play in the background.

His main problem was once those leaders left or started to leave, not controlling them. I like Allegri but I don't see him having the same fortitude to drag a team over a hurdle like Conte might. However I think he is very competent tactically and respected as a coach and a person, so there are pros and cons to all. Conte certainly wasn't perfect.

:tup: I hated it when we signed him. He proved me wrong a long time ago. He understands tactics much more than Conte ever did. And given that some of our key players were and/or are in bad form, he's been doing better than we expected.
