Was a bit surprised to see him deployed higher up the pitch. Seems to be a traditional holding CM. I figure Allegri wanted to use his aggression higher up the pitch, since he was subbed off HT last time too for that particular reason. Leaving gaps behind and pushing too high. But the boy looked lost in translation and nervous as heck. Doesn't seem ready and things have moved too fast for him, at the same time as his style doesn't suit the formation. With a cold heart I concur with both subs, he and MDS was poor. With a human heart, man, that's harsh and I wonder how broken he is from this. Will he take it with a stride, or was that the defining weeks of his career where he ended up as a serie-b-midfielder the rest of his career?
