I absolutely hate Allegri. I think he's the most overrated manager.

Dybala's last game was terrible. I love him, but he's a frustrating player with his Jekyll/Hyde performances.
That's becuase he's been playing out of position. Asking to be the scorer and main creator. Sometimes defenders will get the better of him.

Igli Tare is a really good direttore sportivo (what would be the proper English term?). Incredible at finding value in the market.

It's a mix of both. We need a new manager and Dybala needs to help himself too.

f***ing Allegri. Subs out Bernardeschi who is having a good game instead of Mandzu who is utterly useless this game.

It's definitely more Allegri with lesser players he was consistent. Even first year with Pogba.

Playing as the main goal scorer and main creator is daunting. He's been their best player since he arrived but doesn't get that respect, dropped constantly.

Juve didn’t have any trouble against Lazio. They were never threatened and controlled the game from start to finish.

Watching Napoli vs Milan. I think it’s going to be a walk in the park for Juve this year. Complain all you want about Khedira, Milan have Biglia and Bonaventura on their starting lineup :laugh:

Lol I agree, but Bonaventura scores a golazo right after that.

I wish Donnarumma was sold when him and his fat f*** agent were throwing a fit. Plizzari is going to be twice the keeper he is.

Biglia was amazing in this match, though. And not too long ago Milan had Montolivo as a starter so baby steps, I guess. It's a shame what this once great club has become. They're like Arsenal but worse... both clubs slowly failed apart when Kaka/Henry left.

Milan fell apart when they sold Zlatan and Thiago Silva.

Disagree. Cazorla's Arsenal was just a top4 PL club that would win some national cups to save face. Sure, they played nice football but at end of the day they were what Arsenal has been since Henry left: good enough for top4 but never a real threat to win the title and a joke in the UCL.

my bad here, Milan still won something relevant after Kaka's departure, unlike Arsenal.

If Cazorla is healthy, they make CL 2 seasons ago (missed by 1 pt behind Liverpool) and that drastically changes the outlook of the team.

Henry was a bit of a hindrance towards the end of his Arsenal career - there wasn't squad cohesion with him.

They made UCL Semis multiple times after his departure and probably would've won the league in 2008 if Eduardo didn't get injured. I would say losing Fabregas and replacing him Arteta was worse for our downfall.

They still finished that season when Cazorla played 8 matches with 75 points - above their average of the past 5 seasons of 73.6 points. In 4 of those 5 seasons, they finished with 75 points or fewer, and it was enough to get into the top 4. Not in 2016/17. Arsenal's problem was the rest of the top 6 getting better while they stayed in the same place.

actually, Arsenal only reached the UCL semis one time after Henry left... anyway, let's not hijack the thread.

Mandzukic with his first useful thing he did all game to make it 2-0.

That's kind of typical of him though. Looks like shit then scores a big goal

I don't know, I only saw like the first half of the first half, but Lazio was really taking it to them, looked like the more dangerous of the two sides at that time
