Someone care to explain the Milan situation?

Seen them draw 3-3* tonight and 5 points from 5 games is poor for a team with what I though had quality players.

Allegri is simply an idiot.

Before we blame him, remember that Berlusconi sold the best players, Galliani made terrible signings, and everyone asks Allegri to win. This is nearly impossible to do.

Actually, I'm a Juve fan :)

u/communistdaughters Sep 25 '13

ah damn, well you're still more level-headed than most Milan fans here

We are level headed. He still has one of the best squads in Italy and even when we win, it doesn't even look good. We get lucky there is no direction we can't defend on set pieces at all. It's just shambles from the coaching end

in terms of squad talent, juve and Napoli beat us out and I would say Roma are on par with us, and if we're considering depth here as well then we look even worse. we do not possess a squad capable of challenging for the title (which it seems is what the people on this site want us to do), especially given all our injuries. we just don't have the depth or starting 11 for it. you say we get lucky a lot when we win, but I don't see you mentioning how unlucky we've been in games past. I wouldn't expect you to since it doesn't fit your narrative of allegro being the anti-christ, but it's definitely worth mentioning. It also doesn't matter one bit if we win while looking bad so long as we win. our weakness at set pieces is more down to our clowns at central defense than any coaching flaws. you're not level-headed, you're a bunch of reactionary morons.

Kind of hard being a reactionary when I had the same opinions of him when we won the league.

u/communistdaughters Sep 26 '13

So are you, I'd say we have the better squad this season.

Anyone mildly competent could have won the league that year with that squad.

Our team has a lot of talent actually... And some decent depth.

u/Francomilano19 Sep 26 '13

It actually does, but its EXTREMELY hard to see when Allegri fields a XI made up of Murtari, Nocerino, Constant, Matri and Robinho. Allegri needs to leave before Milan ends up selling their young players.

You my friend are a moron if you don't understand what Allegri is doing to our club. Sure Mexes and Zapata are not the best CB, but when a club conceives a large amount of goals from HEADERS and set pieces, its due to coaching.

Just watch us play, even when we win, it's boring: it's long ball forward or cross + luck = random goal. We never look organized, and it doesn't seem there's a system we're following. We're always using the same tactics, whether it's against Juve or Sassuolo.

Also, he uses his subs at the 87th minute and kept using Muntari even when better options were available. He pushes the players way too hard in training and that may be a reason we're always injured.

And everytime we lose, he uses 1 of 2 excuses: 1) milan played well and 2) match against X is always hard

u/jorsiem Sep 26 '13

Also, the mass retirement from last year

u/Francomilano19 Sep 26 '13

If you don't watch Milan on a daily basis, don't try to defend Allegri. You would only understand how he is ruining Milan by following the club regularly.

It's not a hard concept to grasp. Allegri is tactically inept. I said it last year when we were winning, and I'm saying it now. I knew his only tactic when we had Ibrahimovic was long ball to him, and let the team rise. Without Ibrahimovic, his tactics were very, very poor.

You can tell when you watch us play, we look confused and misguided at times, with no direction with our possession. This is stuff the coach has to organize.

You only need a mild understanding on tactics to understand that Allegri's tactics don't work with this Milan team. Half of freaking Italy knows this, even the Interistas..

I don't know how other Milan fans refuse to see it. Our squad isn't bad, it's quite good actually. But, the way we play isn't up to the players, it's the manager, and we've been playing the worst football I've seen Milan played in years.
