What else could Allegri have done? We do not have a vice-marchisio since Pirlo was never replaced. The league has also been tight and we are barely ahead having had to make a crazy intense comeback after the terrible start to the season. We could not afford any more slip ups and so he had to field the best team. Part of the mess at the start was that marchisio was missing and we had no one that can distribute and so he is absolutely essential to our 3-5-2 and is without replacement.
Even if allegri was going to use another midfielder as a make-shift distributor, Lemina and Asamoah were totally out injured since day 1 while Khedira and Hernanes were on and off form wise and injury wise.
Having no vice-marchisio was always going to be problematic because at worst marchisio would have been injured and at best he would be exhausted as hell if he stayed fit. If anything we are lucky that marchisio did not get any major injuries this season given how much he played.
No vice-marchisio is on marotta not on Allegri. Its good enough that chisio stayed fit and did his job at a good level for this long.

He is a ball winner he cannot distribute. At most what Allegri could have done is sub him out when games were wrapped up. We rarely wrapped up games early though and that would have only got him a few minutes extra rest which I don't know if it makes a difference.
I am more concerned about Serie A tbh. I really hope marchisio's injury is just for a week.

I'm pretty dubious as well at this point. No Marchisio, no Mandzu, no Chiello... Allegri will probably start Evra and Licht as fullbacks... Khedira-Hernanes in midfield is slow as fuck... :facepalm:
Only way we can do this is if Morata somehow recovers his CL form from last season, and Dybala has a hell of a game. Basically depends on us actually being clinical and finishing every chance we get.
I'd like to see Allegri say fuck it, and start Lemina and Sandro, and just go for it.
managed to get a day off Wednesday. So watching this, you lose @Lion
Well he has no option but to start Sandro in this
game and it actually could be a blessing in disguise.He's the perfect option for the 4-4-2 right now.
Buffon
Licht-Barzagli-Bonucci-Evra
Cuadrado-Khedira-Pogba-Sandro
Dybala-Morata
Still a very strong lineup.As strong if not, stronger than the first leg lineup.
Only downside here would be Khedira playing the holding role which I'm not too convinced of.Perhaps Pogba might play more restricted role but that's not a problem as long as you have the attacking quality of Sandro, Dybala, Morata etc.Pogba doesn't need to go forward too much as both Sandro and Cuadrado are capable of carrying the ball forward and beat their man.
In my view , it's the ideal team to field right now considering injuries.

with these injuries and Allegri not wanting to play Rugani and use the 3-5-2, that's the exact lineup I'd use too. No way should we be starting both Khedira and Hernanes at the same time, way too slow and passive against these agressive, hard running bastards.Yeah and we won't see much of the ball anyway.They gonna have the lion's share of possession.
What we need is Pogba staying close to Khedira and playing a restricted midfield role and he can do that very well.
While playing on the counters we can release the ball to Cuadrado or Sandro and they take care of the rest.As i said, both can carry the ball forward and beat defenders with their pace.

"We wont have the ball anyway, so lets not use players capable of holding on to the ball and keep possesion". Are we gonna panic in defence and do long balls for 90 minutes?
How are Licht and Evra going to contribute with Sandro and Cuadrado in front of them? We will be seized and they will play the ball around us with Pogba, Khedira running as headless chickens chasing the ball in front of our defence.

Do you think we should start our lord, god, and saviour, Imhotep?
What about going all-out crazy attack?
4-1-5 stylez!

I wouldn't even play Khedira. I don't think we have any hope to play any sort of tactical match. We lost our best ball player in the midfield and we don't have Mandzukic for hold up play or for crosses in build up play.
Maximum athleticism on the pitch. Up and down for 90 minutes. Spit blood. Score goals. Concede goals. See where we are when the dust settles.
You take out the nerves when everything is instinctual and requires less thinking. If you sit deep and try to hold your wits with what we have at our disposal, I think we might break easily in their arena.
Pep can't help himself. If you play an open game, he will open himself as well. His players will never be instructed to reject advancing into forward spaces. Just pray Gigi can make a couple saves. Maybe they hit a crossbar here or there. Maybe Cuadrado can still a couple yellows on someone. Who knows.
All I know is sitting back with Hernanes in front of the defence is suicide.
