You might not win the UCL, but you might be better than this. I mean, come on, blaming the players for Maccabi? We are sitting in two banks of four in our box with Rugani back there. What do we expect? They hit crosses, it's not difficult to predict. A couple come close and finally one goes in.
Close down the wings against minnows and what do they have left to do. No, of course we just sit in and let the cross come.
McKennie at RM in a deep, narrow, 4-4-2 and we blame the players. Look at the first goal and the time and space! It's the coach who did that. We have Di Maria who played 20 years as a RW and he comes here to play SS and defend the air in the classic 2 striker setup from Sunday League.

we've been having the same blackouts within matches for years. same happened with pirlo and sarri too. scapegoat? allegri. we've been managing games like shit under sarri and pirlo too. blaming the players? fuck no. we've been signing random overpaid mercenaries without any dedication for years. mike: blame the current coach.
again, for the slow bunch: allegri should be fired. i'm also adding that the players are to blame too. i bet the slow bunch will ignore it.
all you remember from the 2nd round of previous year (vs empoli, when chiellini said "it isn't a team") is that mckennie was tried as an am/tq so the coach ruined the match. i also remember that he was subbed out at halftime and we missed all of our chances with a better setup too. i also remember that vlahovic needs 10 shots for a goal, rabiot only started to try since his next contract is at stake, bonucci lets brahim diaz run towards goal like a courteous gentleman, cuadrado is able to completely ruin a 5 v 2 counter, sandro hasn't been able to cross for years, danilo was never able to attack. but but but it's the tactics, fullbacks should be higher than vlahovic, football is simple.
your post is true in a vacuum but a nice deflection considering the context. you somehow started to talk about maccabi while completely missing and ignoring my point. you said that those who we bought recently were exemplary professionals and completely ignored the majority of my post when i proved that they aren't. we've been having more or less the same issues for years, even with strong characters in the locker and game changing players on the pitch. now we only have di maria who's expected to do some unexpected move while a few years ago we had ronaldo, dybala, higuain, pjanic, even costa for flashes lol. this is a more and more sterile squad with ageing key players. senators are almost gone, those were the only players you could blame, and it turns out that chiellini or buffon are much harder to replace than you suggested. we'd be a better team with chiellini now.
and again, for the slow bunch: allegri shouldn't be here by now, for his supposed involvement in this meh mercato and the crap job as a trainer, especially this season. that's not even up for debate. mike thinks that all of the players are true professionals for their whole careers which clearly isn't the case. in fact our recruiting has been nothing short of disastrous.
