That's it. I am of the firm belief that Allegri was born as a cat twice...so that means he has eighteen lives. There is NO way that there can be any other explanation. It makes no sense how he still has a job. Somehow he keeps on surviving....like he's Indiana Jones. But as they go to Amsterdam tonight in what will be a tight group, Allegri will know those knives are getting ever sharper.
IF Milan were to lose tonight, some would say they still are in with a chance having to play Barcelona two times in a row. Let me tell you, they are LOSING both those games. And let me tell you again, if they do go down tonight to an Ajax team that are BETTER than Celtic but keep on getting stripped off of their best players, then Allegri really may need to go. I just do not know how much more mediocrity I can take from Milan and Allegr's limited strategic thinking. Because let us be real here; Ajax SHOULD be beaten by a far more experienced team. Surely, Milan should beat a team that no longer have the creative wizard of Eriksen in their squadron. Surely...but in reality, with Allegri, as Hellas Verona showed...ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE.
The scary thing about tonight's match was how they struggled against Celtic, who are the weakest of the bunch. So if they do play anything like they played in that encounter in Amsterdam tonight, the VERY talented youngsters from Holland will BEAT them. That I have no doubt about. We saw how they found it tough against PSV, and Ajax are the KINGS of Holland. So please, do the mathematics.
You know, as I think more about it, perhaps there may be some dodgy dealings behind the scenes with Galliani and Allegri. There has to be SOMETHING that is keeping him in this job. I mean, I am sure Rijkaard or Hiddink...or dare I say, SVEN GORAN would happily take up the job. So perhaps it might be a financial issue meaning Milan can't afford anyone better?
Let's see how tonight unfolds. I am hoping Allegri has a far more astute game plan that involves more than giving the ball to Balotelli, hoping he can do EVERYTHING for the team. Allegri has to use Robinho and fire him up. He needs to get some use out of El Sharawy and Nocerino. He must have bought Poli for something but I don't see what use he has. This is the great AC MILAN, and the fans of this great and historic club deserve so much more than they are being forced to watch each week.
