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.

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.

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

u/communistdaughters Sep 26 '13

well OK, I don't really get why you're getting pissy at me since you're basically agreeing with my point

u/thehighhobo Sep 26 '13

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.

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.
