Definitely the first option. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sleep.gif) Allegri does not inspire as much confidence in me than the team players, and frankly we have been here because of the guys. The coach seems like a slow learner, and is still finding his feet, I guess.

Unsure. I think Allegri has done a very good job in compacting the team and benching certain "zombies" like Ronaldinho and Seedorf. However, he has major flaws. He isn't capable of reading the game in process and make the adequate changes to affect the result. He's fixated on playing Gattuso and Ambrosini in every single game, disregarding their old ages. He doesn't have a back-up plan. As soon as the opponent manages to block our game and/or one of our key players gets injured, we're left in the mercy of fate. And most of all, he still has a small-club coach mentality. But it's too soon to write him off. He deserves at least one season before leaving room for judgments.

Exactly, we haven't been able to win one league game this season (if my memory serves me right) when we went 0-1 down. That is not a good sign. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Only against RM in the CL at San Siro did we manage to score a goal after being conceding, and well we all know how that ended.
The thing with Leo (or any other coach for that matter) was that he was at least able to make changes during a game, one that could and did affect the outcome. This guy does not. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) He waits and waits for something to magically pop up, and seems to only analyzes the mistakes after the match ends. Or at least, I think he does. I dread to think if we ever go 0-2 down again (a repeat of Casena), what will Allegri do. Champion teams don't do that, they fight back. Here the plan seems to be to score early and then take hold of the match. We don't score early, and our goose is cooked it seems. Neither the coach nor the team knows what to do after conceding. |

Yeah, but we lost him at the worse possible time. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) For this reason along I was so against loaning Paloschi out. Sure he may learn a thing or two at a small club, but then again, what he would have experienced here with the first team would have been worth much more than that - staying and learning from champions, plus be on standby in case of troubling times such as this.
He hasn't had it good in Parma too, quality performance here and a bad injury there, really. |

Despite Allegri.
I'm not saying he can't get better. But at this point in time, he's not the guy I want on our sidelines. The players have earned us first place. Allegri's faults have shown up in the Champs league where we were only able to beat Auxerre. |

I actually like Allegri.
I think it's unfair how people seem to see him, it's like the opposite of how people see the England team in that anytime we do something good - it's the players. Anytime something goes wrong - it's Allergi's fault. |

I think there should be an option
5) Allegri is lucky that Ibra is on the field or otherwise he'd have been sacked in october. |

Allegri has not been harming us and he has not done anything great either. We're where we are because of certain players. A better coach would not have done much better. You guys think Allegri's holding is back but, in my view, you're wrong, this is certainly not a great team.

It depends on the use of the word. This team is certainly great compared to having players like Emerson, Brocchi and Kaladze! |
