We were 99,99% eliminated after a loss to Macabbi. Yet he wasnt fired. There is no way a loss or draw at Benfica would get him fired now when we are basically out. For the remaining of the season the best we can hope is for the team to start picking points in Serie A and puts up a strong title challenge until the end. The next few games will tell us more if the recent positive signs were a start of something or just an anomaly.

He should be fired at the end of the season regardless. I understand it's not the policy of the club to fire coaches midseason, and I guess his previous tenure does give him more leeway/leverage. Nonetheless, another trophyless season (which is looking increasingly likely) should not be tolerated.
Would such fuckery be tolerated at Madrid, Barca, Chelsea, PSG, Bayern or even United? Absolutely Not! Unless we're content with becoming a meme team, another trohpyless season is inexcusable (and no, winning the Supercoppa and/or Coppa won't suffice).

How many times in the last 2 seasons (+ his last season before his first streeting), did we have some randomly decent games and people believed that NOW we would start to play actual football as if we had an actual coach? I count many times already. And it all turned out to be shit in the next few games, because there ISNT a system, ISNT a coach. But the team can pull off some decent games once a while against very poor teams like Empoli.
Even Ranieri, one of the simplest coaches I can think how, implements ideas on attack, defense, press, transitions, and so on. Everything is extremely simple in comparison to more advanced tactics.
Allegri isn't even simple if you would compare like that since he only has an idea on how to defend. Sit deep and wait out the storm. Transitions only cover lost posession = track back as fast as possible. We have stepped up a little bit lately but there's no unity. Just different players pressing a bit here and there. Look at McKennie next game, take a close look. He is down what he is told which is "track back" and "press high" (both, because we have not been provided a clear idea).
What I wanted to say in a shorter version is, Allegri doesn't even do basics. I agree completely. I can also concur that our squad building is non-existent but he should still be able to provide systems.

Thats why I said I wont get my hopes up. Well a bit of hope remains otherwise no point in watching games or supporting the club. Macabbi might be our Sassuolo from the 2015/16, when players finally got a grip. Or it can be one game off and we go back to being our usual selves over the past few seasons. When was the last time we have beaten anyone by 4 goals margin? And we missed plenty of chances for more. With Chiesa and Pogba back, who knows.
