Another very healthy loss but a clean and healthy performance nonetheless.

Remember we still got 7-8 months until we start peaking and compete with the likes of Roma and Fiorentina but we're slowly getting there!

We conceded 4 goals, so what ?! You can't always win every week!

remember people saying it will be easier to challenge for scudetto or top 4 since no european football?

LMAO where is your god now?
After two half decent performances, his supporters crawled out and become vocal about their master. It was punishable offence to even say something against their god.
Now when he is in the mud, or under the mud, again, they are hiding or switching sides.

The thing is that the quality in distribution is lacking due to the average technical ability of many of our players that can’t control even seemingly easy passes under pressure, so i’m afraid it’s not just the tactics but also the personnel that is incapable of doing well consistently which weights us down just as much…

That ofc should not be an excuse for Allegri and his outdated views/ideas of football as he has different players and options to choose from, the two narratives are not mutually exclusive, but let’s say the club is aware of us being a significantly weaker squad/team compared to a few years ago and are not really aiming for any trophies but just to primarily build a new core around next gen players while reaching a european competitions spot, then what’s the point in keeping this overpaid and underperforming coach around when clearly the team in his 3rd straight season is as clueless and hot and cold as it’s been in his first season back here.

What are we even building towards? Reaching top 4 now to have the same shitshow next season with the same coach and personnel being humiliated in the UCL groups and getting out of the Scudetto race by December.

Notice the slide in expectations from
- Season 1: Restore dominance in Serie A + R16 in CL.
- Season 2: Title challenge + R16
- Season 3: Top 4.

He/club have literally lowered expectations each year compared to the last and then failed to meet these lowered expectations every single time. Not even coming close to it :lol:

It's the third season and the team is still utter clueless as to build-up play. We don't know how to beat high pressing. The link between defenders and midfielders always looks shaky. Like 8 out of 10 times we are forced to pass the ball wide or do long balls with low accuracy, because there are usually less than 1 midfielder dropping back to distribute the balL. And most of the time our midfielders are very unconfident and uncomfortable with the ball. Rookie mistakes almost every other game.

It's 100% on the coach. wtf they're doing in training?
Well... This obviously

We have no identity whatsoever.

To me that's the biggest problem. What is the way we play? What are the ideas behind our play? What is our philosophy? Every single time we look like we put 11 random men together and let them play a game of football in the local park. We can only win through flashes of individual brilliance.

Crosses to Mandzukic vs the opposing teams' fullbacks. It's brilliant.

Stupid manager. Took Kostic off for Illing who isn't a defender and Sassuolo immediately found themselves 3 on 3 since Weah was also playing far forward. The CMs couldn't cover and we were lucky to only eat 4, their LW had so many great chances.

Again, we created little and it was only Chiesa. We need a 4-2-3-1 and frankly, the 2 CMs just need to sit back and defend because they can't do shit in attack. Front 4 should be Chiesa, Vlahovic, Kostic, and Illing. Pogba never coming back so forget the whole control the midfield bullshit.
Playing what is essentially a 4-2-4 with those 4 forwards, a double pivot of Locatelli and Rabiot, and our defenders in a back 4 is a sure way to get annihilated by any decent team.

There has to be an Allegribot. Basically enter an opposing club and a scoreline, and the AI spews out his usual comic wisdom.

And the great thing about AI is that it’s perfect for mass-produced mediocrity.

Some people mistakenly believe AI is going to make everyone sound like Kendrick Lamar, when in reality we’re going to experience death by a million Tygas.

Lost 4-2 to a team that conceded 4 in the previous round to Frosinone. And yet he has the nerve to say, "so what?", when his 40m and 80m strikers can't create more than 2 shots on target.

Our gameplan seems to be that, at some point, Chiesa will do something.

I know I've had a lot of debates with people about the insults aimed at Allegri. And I still believe they are unacceptable. But we really need to let him go and build a new identity. This is just awful.
