QUOTE (Danny @ Apr 24 2017, 01:05 PM) Then they're all wrong. Sorry, but you all are (IMG: style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) The guy could go to Arsenal (as looks likely now) and win the title and you'll find some way to discredit him. And I'm bored arguing with you all about it (IMG: style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) PS I don't want Juve to win, I just have respect for Buffon and he personally deserves it. You know, that 18 year old's HERO? (IMG: style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) The day he takes Arsenal to a title I'll eat a lemon... And you can point out all the coaches who've had great successes with great teams all you like, but it still doesn't change OUR experiances with him as the coach of our Club. The idiocies I witnessed from him were astonishing, this is the man who played Urby f@cking Emmanuelson in the trequartista position, just because he could not deviate from a formation he likes. How anyone could defend his coaching while at Milan is beyond me As for his time at Juve, he's had it easy from the word Go at Juve. and has barely had to use a single brain cell to do what he's done there.

C'mon now buddy, let's not joke about it. Urby was abysmal, to say the least. Sure (IMG: style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) And he could play in so many positions, LB, LCM, LW, RW, Trequartista and SS if we were in need.

Allegri starting line-up in 2015: Buffon; Litchsteiner, Bonucci, Chiellini, Evra; Marchisio, Pirlo, Pogba, Vidal; Tevez, Morata.
Allegri starting line-up in 2017: Buffon; Dani Alves, Bonucci, Chiellini, Alex Sandro; Khedira, Pjanic; Mandzukic, Dybala, Cuadrado; Higuain.
Man, it must be so tough for a coach to win the league with such a poor selection of players.
Seriously, get real, Danny. Allegri has been steamrolling in Italy with the best team in the league, having either big-time chokers like Napoli or Roma as contenders, while Milan and Inter continue to delve into mediocrity.
His big achievement was the 2015 CL final. This time around he got dealt the easy hand, facing Porto, Monaco and a Barça side at the end of their cycle.
I will give him one thing, though. He has clearly changed mentality, as in he always wants to win regardless of the circumstances. That's a big plus for me. During his Milan days the guy was terrible in this aspect. Remember when Zlatan was about to assault him when he said in the dressing room that "the important thing is that we passed" after we had lost 3-0 to Arsenal? One of his many, many flaws back then.

His big achievement was the 2009 CL success. This time around he got dealt the easy hand with a Utd side at the end of their cycle. I could do this all night. It's my opinion X, I will respect yours even if I disagree with it. Just please don't insult me just because I won't come round to you and Han's way of thinking. This, I swear, is my final ever post on Allegri. You won't get me discussing him on here ever again. /peace out

Honestly don't know what you guys see in the man... Just baffling, especially after some of the embarrassments we've experienced with him as coach
Danny, I respect your opinions, you know that. I just don't understand why we can't have an adult conversation about Allegri. It's not like we're arguing here. I don't think it's as unhealthy a conversation as you think it is

I think that's the point Danny and I are making. The same way players improve, so do coaches. And Allegri has really gone up leaps and bounds since his days at Milan. I hate to say it, but the Milan experience and disappointments has actually made him a better coach. He's gotten better at handling egos, dealing with tactics, getting flexible etc. He's not a colourful personality but he's a damn good coach. FWIW, I think Montella will only get better too. What we have to do is ensure to give him the kind of support so he can constantly innovate and do better. The amount of games he's got under his belt as coach for his age is really good. Not too often you get young coaches with a lot of experience.
