allegri has committed plenty of mistakes this season, but he's not the only one to blame. the team plays with 2 strikers for a couple of years, and here's what we have at the moment:

- prima punta: mandzukic, zaza, morata, dybala (at least he played prima punta at palermo)
- secunda punta: ......

so either we convert someone to secunda punta (that's what max has been repeating about dybala all season) or we start to play something completely different. against 'gladbach, max tried to play morata as an ss, and it didn't work out too well obviously. against atalanta, we played the same football basically, but with dybala instead of morata as a secunda punta. i mean we could have won against 'gladbach with dybala.

btw dybala is a classy second striker in the making. just keep playing him.

I'm yet to read one good point regarding Allegri.

Read his statement again ffs, he is right, he doesn't underestimate Dybala, pretty much knows his value if anything he praised him more, he wants him to improve physically which is NORMAL since Juve's approach and style is very physical and wants him to play between the lines more often. Where did he diss him? Where did he go wrong? Wasn't Pogba benched in his first year a lot more often? Dybala is used more than the other strikers.

I don't mind jumping on Allegri for not getting the results, but bashing him for a quite good statement he made is hilarious.

We should play him every game and then when he is burnt out we can say with perfect hindsight that he was played too much.

Coaches look at blocks of games when deciding personnel, dependent on form and fitness. From Inter to Empoli (international break to break) we will have played 7 games in 21 days. I'm no Stephen Hawking but I make that a game every three days. So no, Dybala isn't going to play all the time. And if we are in fact relying on him to that extent then we are fucked anyway. Allegri can and will use different personnel with different formations, mostly because we don't have two players alike in the attacking area.

How can't Dybala or Morata play SS? They definitely can... Morata played there more than once last year also and was fine. I remember a great match away at Cesena behind Llorente.

I think he made a mistake regarding Dybala. He is 22 yo, with more than decent experience, not some primavera kid that would need nurturing and also he is not someone in dawn of his career that would need to be rested fairly often. Further more he played Coman in the opening two games, friggin' 19 year old, so the excuse of his inexperience isn't valid. At this stage of his career if he isn't capable of handling pressure of playing week in week out for the club of Juve's reputation then he isn't the right player for us. We need champions. I believe he is one and everytime he has been on the pitch till now he's proven to be more than capable of handling it well and undoubtedly has been our major creative outlet. Forza Max, I love the guy, but let the kid play.

bolded part :tup:

Not only that but the guy has a whole serie B campaign and a whole serie A campaign under his belt.

Even Pogba has looked more "amateur" by the pressure of our bad results and his number 10. Dybalas is always silently doing the work.

I dont know whats up with allegri, and i hope for his own sake, that he knows what he is doing. But i really dont think so. Lets hope he proves us all wrong.

For those who are questioning Allegri and backlashing at those who are defending allegri, may i ask why?

Allegri sure has not deserved any of the $#@! he is getting, why turn against the coach who looked like he had everything going for him last season? Why not give him a full season and a season where not all the players are injured? Why turn on him after a poor run of results? We are not even mid season and yet some are making it seem like we wont bounce back. The coach is not completely to blame when half of the team is new and we have had all these injuries. Enough leave him to work and $#@!ing follow the team because you love the club
He is getting us thru the cl, something conte cant do for shit. Id take a deep run/win in the cl over 1st place in seire a for the 242342th time anyday
