Chiesa - Vlahovic - Di Maria
Pogba - Loca - Paredes/Fagioli
Sandro/Kostic - Bremer - Danilo - Cuadrado
Tek
+ Milik, Miretti, Iling
That squad should easily compete for the title and survive the CL group stage. It really isn’t a very bad team, the sad thing here is that we haven’t once seen the team playing a match all together.
Yes that squad should compete in Italy, but the fact that 6/11 players, especially those front 3, have barely been fit this season tells you all there is how poorly constructed this roster is.
Paredes, Pogba, Di Maria were our 3 “marquee players” this summer each earning 7m+ yet they barely played any game this season. The team that we were able to consistently field this season has been this:
Tek, Sandro, Danilo, Bremer, Kostic, Rabiot, Locatelli, Miretti/Fagioli, whoever’s available on the right, Kean, Milik
and this team is fucking piss poor and has no business being in a Scudetto race. This is not to defend Allegri, who is part of the problem and should leave at the end of the season, but this club fell off the biggest cliff there is over the past 3/4 years. The collapse is one of the biggest I’ve seen in all of sports, unreal actually.
so yea, we need to address the coaching department but people who think we will all of a sudden compete by just replacing the coach are in for a rude awakening (not saying this is you btw).
