I remember well these threads that were done at the end of the season. They were super good. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/king.gif)

Samp weren't half bad either

But this is not Samp or Empoli

He didn't come here with a clean slate, there were already very big issues with this squad. And right now, all I'm seeing is him amplifying the problems that were already clear to see under Rino and he's making them all glaringly worse.

I feel like this season is going to be over before its even begun. Another year down the drain.

I think Allegri would have been a good idea. He would've been a coach that could have at least taken us back to Champion's leauge places. But, why would Allegri want to have a step back in his career? He can land bigger jobs.

Allegri is full of questionable decisions and tends to make critical situation worse. But yes, Han, I was thinking the same. He would be a huge upgrade compared to that amateur we have right now. Who else is aviable? Anyone thinking of Ranieri?

Where? No one came calling this summer

He's not a coach that is suited to big European clubs imo. He's too pragmatic and negative in his approach.

It's not like Real, Bayern or a big English club were chasing after him this summer and that is for a reason.

I think Allegri would take the job. He knows the club already and I think he's someone who would be more comfortable in the Italian setting

Plus he deployed a 4-2-3-1 at Juve and I think that's the best type of system we can field with the mish mash of players we have

Ew! No!

And yes I agree about Allegri's faults. Please refer to my posts circa 2012 to understand how absolutely I detested this guy and his approach

But, he'll bring the results and for now that is what we need.

As for other coaches being available. The only other one I can think of is Mourinho.

Hear me out.

The only issue would be getting him to come on board. But he would definitely be someone that could whip these players into shape imo. He's still a top top manager. His issues at United were varied. But thinking back to how he got that team to second and to win the EL is nothing short of a miracle imo. He's still an excellent coach and man manager. The issue at United I feel is that players like Pogba never wanted to put in the effort which is required from any Mou team which split the dressing room between egos.

I don't think he'd have that issue back in Italy. If the players are on his side, they'll do anything for him. As was the case with his teams at Porto, Chelsea and Inter

Mourinho would be a pipe dream.

We started with Giampaolo and we'll continue with him at least till December. Wanting him sacked so early in the season is just wishful thinking.

But man, I hate this guy already. First of all, he had two months at disposal to deploy his ideas and tactics. But we're in mid-September and the team is playing some godawful football.

Secondly, he had a clear formation in mind, which he practised all summer only to change after the very first game in the league. Which, mind you, it was the right decision, but it really shows just how shaky his mindset is.

And then the player selection. This irks me the most. Hernandez returns from injury fully fit yet he plays the disastrous Rodriguez. Bennacer plays a great game vs Brescia yet he starts Biglia. Our most expensive signing of the summer has been warming the bench for three games straight. Krunic hasn't seen the pitch for a minute yet craptards like Hakan and Castillejo keep getting free passes. I seriously have no words.

Oh, and as for Rebic, he was OK. Some great moments but also some WTF moments as well.

"blah blah blah" *Allegri*


***raises nose****

So, looks like Paqueta after the game agaionst Verona posted on Instagram a picture with comment "Proud to be brazilian" referring to Giampaolo's previous comments ("He needs to be less Brazilian") and, according to Tuttosport, the club might fine him.

WTF?! Now we're even creating problems out of nothing instead of valuing our most gifted player. Giampaolo has done only damage thus far.

The comments from him were out of line imo. That's not something you talk to the media about. If Paqueta needs to make improvements, guide him accordingly, in private.

Not say something like that to the press...

he did it with Piatek also

In view of the derby, Inter tied 1-1 vs Slavia at home. They were appalling, almost as bad as us against Verona. In fact, they were also poor against Cagliari and Udinese as well.

If we play with the right mindset, we can win.

Yes, I said this before. I won't buy into the Inter hype just yet. Almost everytime I've seen them play, they didn't look good. I'm sure Conte will be able to build them into a good team, but they are far from scudetto material in my opinion. So, yes, we could snatch a win if we play well this weekend. The problem is we're just as bad.
