Allegri is back, life is back.

Just like there was no reason to be euphoric last week, there's no need to exaggerate this week.

Yes, it was a horrible shit show. But we were also without Di Maria, Pogba, Chiesa & aren't done with our transfer window just yet.

We simply can not miss all 3 of these guys. If or when that happens, we'll be in trouble every time unless the mercato hands us an extra option.
Allegri needs to start 2 of the youngsters or Paredes every fucking game from now on. If he doesn't realise this now, he needs to go asap. Therefor it shouldn't be Paredes or Rovella, we simply need both. It's painfully obvious Locatelli ain't made for this even if he had an excuse in Laurel and Hardy in front of him who didn't exactly help.

We need a miracle against Roma but 7/9 would be an okay start. 4 or 5 is not enough.
He got everything wrong with the midfield yesterday as much as the management is not giving him a hand on the mercato and we are the ones suffering.

Paredes is a must…must not purchase. It would perpetuate all the long-standing problems;

- overpaid hard to get rid of
- ghost in big games
- a regista who isn’t a playmaker, no physical presence nor particularly skilled
- no set piece prowess.

what’s the point? For experienced shithousery?
At best all he would do is paper over the crack (more like tectonic plate) that Allegro can’t coach attacking patterns plans or strategy.

Allegro needs a brozovic. As much as it pains me to say.

I think I came to a decision about this mercato.
Overall score 5
We got a great CM but he for now is injured.
We got Fagioli who I still believe in + Rovella who by the way was the only midfielder to ask for the ball.
Di Maria is obviously a great signing but he is on a 1 year contract.
Dybala left for free.
MDL Bremer - No reinforcement added despite the face we needed it before the MDL Bremer change.

If we get SMS I`ll raise it but still not enough for an 8.
What could change it to 8 and above is a coach change - I have zero faith in Allegri - He got me to my breaking point.

We don`t have Fagioli and Rovella - both are going on loan.

5 out of 10 is very optimistic. 3.5 with Milik / 4 with Depay max I can rate it. Midfield is the same shit. Don`t count on Pogba - without surgery he will be 1 game in, 1 game out.

What are we waiting for? And even yet, I cannot get excited to any one of the ones we are linked with be it Depay, Milik or Paredes. Not to forget how badly we need a left back and midfilders who can make a difference. Let's wait until deadline day.

What's the point? Having an obvious upgrade that the coach actually wants.

In response, realistically speaking;
- our problem ain't big games for now.
- overpaying is something we'd have to judge after it actually happens. We have a very strict management for now.
- true, no set-piece prowess; just like his alternative Rovella. We have plenty big guys in Bremer, Bonucci, Vlahovic, McKennie, Rabiot,...
- He's definitely skilled on the ball and all our CBs handle the ball like a hot potato. Even most of our midfielders do. He'd be an outlet for them. Rovella can possibly offer the same but he ain't playing, so...

I don't know. Sales maybe?

Yes, he's doing even better work with Miretti than I expected. Kudos to him for giving a talented player some proper minutes.
While continuing to play the shitcunt Fagiot and the hapless McNuggets. This team plays abysmal football, and that can't solely be down to the players (although many of them are garbage).

Anyway, NBA season tips off in under 2 months, and by then we'll probably be out of the Scudetto race and struggling in the CL.

At least I have Inside The NBA and Rick and Morty to look forward to.

Allegri is living in the past. No excuses for another Coke Zero year. He needs to revolutionise his tactics because this is an expensive transfer window and this ain't no cheap shit squad. He is the biggest reason that after 40+ games from last season we still play garbage football.

I get why clubs don't go all in for a manager's demands, this squad will be a disaster to fix if let's say we want Zidane next year because we can't afford to spend like this every year.

The second season in a row these amateurs have done this. And people were mocking those of us who were decrying the snails pace movement in the mercato, only signing the absolute bare minimum and leaving so many gaping holes.
Sorry Ronaldo left late in the transfer window - hands were tied. Remember all those excuses "transfer window didn't even open yet", "it's only july", "we will have the team ready when the season starts", "waiting for deadline day".....

We miss a quality CB (we are def short a CB just look at rugani starting yesterday and its only matchday 2), a LB, at least one midfielder (if not two with all those clowns), a winger / striker. Again this team lacks balance and there is 0 structure in it. Whats our planned formation? I cant even tell with the players we signed.... Bremer is best in a three man defence or at least not on the LCB, Kostic is perfect for a 3-5-2 too but Pogba and Di Maria are better for a 4-3-3 ..... nothing makes sense in this club. And still we are the team with the overall biggest spending (considering Vlahovic and Zak) and wage structure.....But we need Chiesa and Di Maria to beat regulation battlers

It will impact his development if those minutes are given to the fuckers unworthy of it, or would you like a starting midfield of Fagiot, Locatelli and McNuggetsonce again, just for good measure? :D
Not that it's my favourite midfield trio ever, but they can do much better than they did yesterday. Both Locatelli and McKennie were very poor compared to their usual standards. Imo the big problem is that without Pogba and Di Maria we again lack any real creativity and ingenuity so we have to rely on effort and intensity which clearly wasn't fully there last night.

Depay and Paredes would help but certainly there are can't be no excuses for jihadball lacking end product.

Di Maria and Pogba together would give us the 3pts too but it doesnt change the fact we should be winning this kind of game and even close it in the first 45 minutes.
Mediocricity is enough. Time to change to someone who can make it work.
If the next one doesnt make us perform, fire him as well until we find someone who can seriously lead us.

In any case - given Conte`s motivational specialty I`d definitely take him back.
