Start to blame the team a bit more there the ones on the pitch doing jack **** to help things. But i guess thats never ending and the buck stops at the manager right?
Blame the team? What do you expect a midfield of Gattuso, Flamini, Van Bommel and Seedorf to do exactly?????? Turn into Xavi, Iniesta and Messi??? FFS, they have limits, they're just destroyers, you play all of them what do you expect to get, beutiful football. Allegri is at fault for putting out that team, everyone expected the same sh!tty performances we saw in the last few games, and guess what? He delivered on that!!! He had other option on the bench, Robinho should have started, his running would have cleared space for Pato and Cassano to at least move more then a foot with the ball before it was taken away, Boateng should have started in midfield, if he wasn't fit enough then Urby should have been given the chance, he at least would have added some dimension into that flat uncreative midfield!!
Blamin the players is low, and imo another attempt to excuse Allegri's blatant mistakes. Ibra might have been cr@p lately but he still hid most of his short comings, he at least managed to bring in the others by holding up the long ball, today we saw Allegri's tactics for what they really are. Again you're blaming the players, but please enlighten me, what did you expect Gattuso and Flamini to do? Score 30 yard goals, send Pato or Cassano through wih a magnificent through ball? Bring in our FBs with their amazing ability to spread play?

It's a ridiculous accusation, Allegri is reaping what he's sown imo, if you put in stale lemon in the juicer you can't expect to get some Hawiian tropic juice in return, you end up with stale leom juice. It's basic tactics 101. What big clubs do you see playing with 3 F'ing distructive midfielders???

Would be awesome if somebody told the squad that they can't rely on Ibra to win a game when he isn't playing so they might have to, you know, do something?
It's not the players' faults, Flamini, Gattuso and VB do their job, which is recovering balls, aside from that they cannot produce any game changing plays, and it's ridiculous to expect them to. They cannot bring in the attack into the game, Allegri relies on Ibra for that with the long ball. Once Ibra was out, and he sill insisted with that ridiculous midfield setup this was bound to happen. Again, he should have at least played Boateng or Urby, if not both, a coach who wants to win would do that, Allegri was just hoping to win.
