Chiesa for Di Maria, Cambiaso/Weah for Cuadrado, McKennie for Fagioli. It's simply not a better team, it's just a less experienced team led by the same manager who failed 2 years straight. Hence why the results should be pretty similar as last year, even though we don't play in Europe this time around.
No need to go to extremes in proving a point, the squad is not great by any stretch but is surely capable of fighting for a top 4 spot in this inconsistent league with a handful of other coaches that would be paid way less too, so yes Allegri isn’t overachieving anything at this stage, he was doing surprisingly well until the Empoli game but then completely imploded and took us on another downward spiral similar to the previous two seasons.
Fumingly mad throaters still discussing whether another coach could do better with this EXACT Allegrified team

Back then they would say: "football is about winning, we won" when we scraped a lucky Raguno overtime scissorkick from the middle, to win against Lecce 1-0.

considering only the last six rounds we lost
- 13 points to bologna (6 points left, we play them at bologna, if they win then it's basically a 3 points advantage with them having a better head2head)
- 10 points to roma (10 points left)
- 6 points to napoli and milan (milan will most likely overtake us, napoli are 14 points behind)
- 5 points to atalanta (11 points left)
with 11 rounds to go, and jj down to a relegation battler pace, i'm really not sure we can keep 3 of these 5 teams behind us. and it's not even about yesterday, i think we played a surprisingly good game and if vlahovic was a tiny bit more clinical, that's an easy win. still, that empoli game completely killed our momentum.
also look at our schedule: atalanta (h), genoa (h), lazio (a), fiorentina (h), torino (a), cagliari (a), milan (h), roma (a), salernitana (h), bologna (a), monza (h). honestly, which one of those are expected to be comfortable wins? even genoa are in a much better form than us, we'll be shitting bricks for most of those games.

Even with our injuries, we had a better team than Napoli last night. We handled their attack for most of the game. When we shifted out of 3-5-2 and pressed, we had a lot of dangerous moments. We looked shite when going to 5-3-2 because they overran us, self inflicted of course. Iling Jr and Chiesa when far out wide were great, but Iling Jr had to constantly get back to cover LB position. If we had a good passer and not Whackatelli and Alcarez who were carried all game, we split Napoli open and probably score a ton.
Missed opportunity last night, we're dropping so many points that we'll suddenly be in a top 4 battle. Now is that moment to make that formation change. Last night was a desperate attempt by Allegri to show his tactics work by using kids in such a high pressure game, but it failed.
I see plenty of talent that can be nurtured and underperforming players that need better coaching. The LWB and RWB positions are crucial in a 3-5-2 so shoehorning Iling Jr there is stupid, you put a more defensively inclined player there. The CM needs a passer, a bruiser, and a B2B to link the attack; we have none of these.

I know better than to expect comfortable wins.
As things currently stand, I'd say only Milan have a decent chance of overtaking us.
I don't see Roma or Bologna keeping their current momentum going. And Napoli & Atalanta are too far behind us, I think.
Realistically speaking, how many points would we need to secure a top 4 finish? About 15, give or take? We'll get them, imo.

Nomatter how stupid we line up and play tactically, it is nearly impossible to lose points against all these Serie A teams. They are ridiculously poor and toothless. If you hope a Cagliari will deservedly win the game, then Rugani or Gatti appears in the 95th minute to save the day for Allegri. Trust me, rooting against this Juve to secure an early grave for fraud, is a tough and unforgiving job. However, it must be done.
