That's already what Allegri is using, its what he always does that's never going to change. Once those players are back and Juve still plays like shit he won't have that excuse and he'll still find something else to blame.
I agree. The one difference is that the players we are missing will add quality, which presumably will allow us to obtain better results. If we win the scudetto with these guys (irrespective of what we do in CL), Allegri will be back next season. It's not far-fetched considering that there isn't any real great side in Italy.
