It’s interesting that when other coach’s like Klopp have big injury problems in their squad and fail spectacularly, it’s chalked up here as a good explanation for their failure and they still a great coach.
When Allegri had big injury problems here his last season, it was considered entirely his fault, he was constantly insulted, and people wanted him sacked even though he cruised scudetto with 90 pts.
And now we’re seeing the same with Pirlo. Squad has dealt with a ton of injuries to important players, and illness too.
