Mandzukic was one of the most lethal left wingers seen in the modern game. I think Allegri is looking for a similar type of setup with the tall Rabiot in that position, able to win some important headers in dangerous positions. Unfortunate that we couldnt get him a better fit for that role, but he will make do with what we have.
Despite the fact we suck I think odds are still in our favor as its 6 games and quality wise we are definitely better than all but Chelsea.
I expect us to finish 2nd and get eliminated in the knockouts.
If Allegri gets a serious reinforcement in January (very unlikely) we might go another round.
