I think that's a little harsh on Allegri.
A) Boateng hasn't a tenth of Vidal's ability
B) Pirlo has been in decent form, so benching Pirlo wouldn't be smart.
C) Vidal is better suited than Pogba for AM IMO and is a little more experienced at it due to his time in Germany. Vidal has better acceleration and movement in the box and is more clinical around goal. (Pogba is much, much more accurate from outside the box). Plus Pogba's best attributes would be wasted just the same at AM.

Also he played as an AM for a bit, then swapped with Marchisio.
Vidal:
“I’ve never lost a derby, in Santiago if you lose it is better if you do not show your face for a couple of days. I have never lost in Turin, it’ll be a great match and I can’t wait to hear the fans.”
“We will win, I hope. It is too important for the standings and for all of us that we win tomorrow, it’s even important for our final Champions League game.”
“Juve has all the qualities to progress in the Champions League. It’s a different game we’re playing. We are changing and we are getting better and better under Allegri..”

He's not playing as an AM, if someone didn't notice. We're playing with 4 CMs, Marchisio and Pirlo just in front of the defence and Pogba and Vidal a bit further, Vidal on the right, Pogba on the left. Some kind of 4-2-2-2, if we want, but nobody is doing the work of a classic AM. Sometimes Marchisio steps up along them, and Carlitos can come down to take the ball. IMO both Vidal and Pogba are doing a great job in that position difficult to interpret, even if Pogba fell asleep in Bruno Perez's goal and has his share of fault on it, but he's had a nice game and can do even better in the second half.
