Yeah, I don’t see any progress or potential. Same shit from him this year.

Also the interviews he’s giving about us being behind schedule compared to other teams are confusing and also not acceptable. Everyone can see right through that bullshit.
I hate that shit.

If we’re behind schedule then that means the management haven’t done their job. He is the main part of the management.

His teams always played way too low for my liking but at least in the past he had the ingredients to play on the break/attack the depth.

This is complete agony but exactly what I expected. No mercato is gonna fix this, even midtable teams play different sport to this Juve these days.

I backed Allegri last year, he was given a bad squad and had to rebuild, he wasn’t backed in the transfer window and lost the star player at the start of the season.

There’s now two problems at this football club, the first is that the recruitment has been terrible this off season. We’re using near enough the same ingredients so to expect a different taste is foolish. We lost quality players like Dybala, Morata and De Ligt and the quality we did sign has basically just replaced them - there’s been no step forward in quality and areas such as defence and CM have declined.

The second is clearly the manager. Since he rejoined the club we’ve seen no identity and no game plan. It looks like these players have never stepped foot on the field together. Tactically he’s well off the pace, his 2 years out of the game have made him rusty, he’s lost his ability to read and change games. Why would he start a midfield trio of McKennie - Loca - Rabiot??? They played together last year and we’re horseshit!! The result is going to be the same!!

He’s had more than enough time to get this right now but he continues to get it so wrong
To be fair he changed tactics last week at the first water break which changed the game for us. The introduction of Miretti also changed things today, although not enough unfortunately. I'd say it is unfair to say he's lost that ability.

You could turn it around and say why didn't he start both games like this? That is the issue for me, we are being too conservative which is hurting us.

I do have sympathy for him. People seem to be expecting dramatic improvements with the same weak squad with injuries to our big signings. That isn't going to happen. But we all knew how a mid containing Rabiot and McKennie would be. I'll give the benefit of the doubt to say Miretti missed preseason and maybe he hasn't seen enough of Rovella yet but there needs to be more ball players starting for us and I'd be very disappointed if there isn't on a consistent basis over the coming months.

There is no worse feeling for a football fan than the conviction that the coach, the man at the helm is a stubborn idiot. Then it becomes clear that no lineup, no transfer, no money, no recovery from injury will change anything in the season anymore. This stage is total resignation. You already know that the man is not improving and how it will end.

Then comes the countdown until the team starts playing against the coach. Then another countdown before the owners notice it, send out the first signals of hope for change. Then waiting for the ultras to speed up their decisions. Brief moments of relief when names of possible successors emerge. Finally blaspheming the coach through all possible channels, humiliating your own dignity by enjoying the media lynching him - all in the hope that he will resign himself, even though they never do...

It usually takes a whole season. We are only at the first stage.

I wouldnt read too much into his post match comments. Its mostly to save his face. Hopefully he realizes this cant go on. We need to dispose teams like Sampdoria if we want to challenge for the title and for that he needs to completely change his approach and take more risks. Its unecceptable that Rugani, Bremer and Danilo spend so much time on the ball, in our own half.

If he didn't realise that after last season he won't realise it now

If he had any balls he'd drop our midfielders next game. What's the worst that can happen? We drop points? At least If the younger players end up being absolutely shit he can say he does in fact know best and nobody would ask for it again.
