I get tired of reading constant whining and moaning about Allegri every time I visit this thread so I engage and defend him. But I'm done responding to such bitching. I shall just ignore it in the future.
I'm sorry for contributing to the $#@! in this thread.
Dont call it whinning, call it critic, and we are in our right to do so. You can dont like it all what u want, but dont act like you are entitled to decide what can be posted and what not, as far as rules and respect are not violated. If allegri gets criticised, take it like a man.
The criticising i see is very fair (most of the time) and is based on very debatable arguments (team mentality, overuse of certain players, lack of use of others, tactics, lack of mercato decitions), and i dont see the reason why you all need to go neardenthal when some posters bring those to the table.
Allegri is a great coach, but he is not perfect and if we want to win the champions, he needs to become almost perfect, because this team needs it.
There are other issues preventing allegri to do his job fully (marotta, agneli and elkann) but ill not talk about those here.
To finalize, about the subs incident in the last minutes... i agree that he should have made a change by the end of the game or at 75 min mark to try to seal the deal... as we were turning into all defense mode and we all know how that always ends agains big teams....
But
I can see also what allegri was planning, and im very sure it could have worked wonderfully in the extra time. So ill not say he was totally wrong. He was undone by a nonexisting PK
This last game gave me hope he can improve. I would like to see what he will do with a better midfield and to finally ditch that conservative approach, instead go to business in everygame regardless of the opposition, as today we showed we can do that if we really want. There are no excuses anymore
