well, this wasn't unexpected. This one is not on doctors or conditioning trainers. Marchisio was simply runned into the ground by Allegri.
He is a guy who runs like a madman, covering a lot of space back and forth and who finishes games typically at his physical limit.
It was clear he was exhausted.
Anyway, Marchisio in the current form, and at the current level of exhaustion... we could actually improve if Lemina or Sturaro can hold their shit together.
But if Hernanes is in the starting 11, wave goodbye to having any chances.
we always played like shit with a 4 men defense, but this time... just can't put Rugani on this position.
I want to see Sandro and Licht as fullbacks (god forbid if he plays Evra), Sturaro as a DM (IMO it should be his main position - he's bad creating offense, he's got great stamina to do some sort of anchor man), Pogba - Khedira, and Cuadrado.
If we field this team, our chances should be there, even if slim.
