Mandzukic is too slow and predictable to be a winger. Cuadrado is a headless chicken that only works as a supersub.
Bernardeschi, Dybala and Costa need to play a run of games together to build chemistry and understanding with each other. Of course we probably won't see them play together until March, and by then our new signings will either have lost motivation, or be so desperate to impress that they'll play too nervously.
This stubborn f#%k Allegri takes 8 months to integrate new players into the team because he's a coward afraid of change. He runs the team not based on performance, but instead automatically gives a starting place to who's been here longest. Who gives a f#%k about slow integration, just play your best players you stupid t#%t.
We also can't pass with any sort of purpose or meaning. As someone else said, watching us play is like watching a chess match. One piece moves at the time and the others are stationary. Any decent organized defence can easily keep us out. We rely way too much on individual brilliance. That gets us through Serie A but we won't achieve anything in Europe.
I know for a fact that Pep Guardiola spends extensive time teaching his players movement patterns in the final third, midfielders and forwards actually attack with purpose. Does Allegri know anything about how to teach his players how to attack? Does he give them instructions on where to move and how to make space?
I have to laugh at the people who consider Allegri some kind of tactical genius. He's stubborn as hell, very conservative, and he doesn't know how to actually plan an attack if his life depended on it.
