Massimiliano Allegri (300 Viewers)

[Hust]

Losing Bonucci and Alves hurt, but Benatia and MDS have both stepped up.
We sold Lemina and Rincon, bought Matuidi and Bentancur. A clear upgrade.
Last season we had zero depth in attack after Pjaca got injured, now we’ve bought two quality attackers in Bernardeschi and Costa.

We have downgraded our defence, but upgraded our midfield and attack. Overall I think our team has improved from last season.

Actually we wanted Matuidi last season and couldn't get him, ended up with Rincon I believe.

That happens to be one of my criticms of Marotta. Sometimes when he should be more flexible in buying (when negotiating) he takes too long and clubs pull out. We end up with plan B or C.

Probably very sheepish of me, however.

meh he was criticized previous summer for overpaying for players to ensure signings happened quickly and we werent left with massive gaps. Now he was critisized for taking his time and ensuring the club gets a better deal

Thank god he's moved on from 4231 into a much more fluent 433, now our midfield can actually hold the ball now.

I don't understand why Khedira keeps starting every game. I can understand him starting against Inter because of his experience, but why did Bentancur not get a chance against Bologna?

Bentancur is an exciting prospect, but he's clearly raw and nowhere near ready to start for us (except vs teams in relegation zone & in CI).

Question is why isn't Marchisio playing more. I didn't watch the last game he started, but he was collecting accolades left and right.

We had to choose between Allegri and Bonucci-Dani Alves.
We pick the former and we gave him 7m/year
Talking about ambition.
See Dani Alves having an impact at PSG and CL

That choice was a no-brainer.

And I doubt Dani Alves will do as well for PSG. He was too slow and awful for us till business end of the season when our fitness program finally benefited him and made him a little faster, which made all the diff. PSG doesn't have the same fitness regime as we do.

Evra was also poor in his first half season and was good in second half.

Starting to notice a trend here

He was awful in the last CL group game, directly responsible for two of Bayern’s goals.

That was the following season, not his first one.

He was good in the calendar year 2015.

 

[Bianconero_Aus]

We chose wisely, they already lost a CL final and that was enough, no need to completely destroy our team for them.

You were 100% right about Skinny Legs, Cron I shall never doubt you again my lord

He meant PSG’s most recent game with Bayern. And he’s right, Alves was terrible in that match. PSG are stupid in trying to play him 40+ times a season, he simply doesn’t have the legs for that anymore.

So, defo no Meunier for us then.

I would pick rats and pigs over Alves.

That too but I recall us tracking Matuidi too

 

[zizinho]

Witsel

Max getting it right with the 433


3 man midfield has changed this team. Managed to get Higuain and Dybala to both score. Teams are having a hell of a time breaking us down...takes a brain fart from Asamoah to almost concede a goal.

Liked the lineup today. Only criticism today is no Placa and played Asamoah.

 

[s4tch]

24th match, 24th different lineup

max is already trying to avoid that 2nd half exhaustion in cardiff

Pjaca, thank you. was wondering who else was there to play after the Higuain sub, and couldnt remember. Chiellini and Matuidi - the most pointless subs ever. come on Max

Higuain too tho

Guy finna win the treble. Can’t wait to see people talk shit on him next year anyways.

I think he wanted to get Chiellini some minutes ahead of Roma cuz he has been healing from injury. After Asamoah's mental collapse he brought on Matuidi to lock it down

Don't let your faith waiver, friend. Look back and reminisce on the gifts his grace, Euromaxx, bestows upon his flock. An on form looking Marchisio who was not shoved back into the starting lineup but gently reintroduced, like a newborn baby deer walking slowly upon its legs with its mother guiding it gently from behind that will, someday soon, grow into a majestic buck. Pjaca will be back, but he must too learn to walk with a gentle and nurturing guidance to become a strong buck

Asamoah is more like dung beetle. His job may be to roll shit, but he rolls shit so that Alex Sandro can be rested for Roma.
