Barzagli, Khedira and to a lesser extent Chiellini are up to it tonight.

Everyone else struggling with the pace of the game. I have a feeling Allegri will bring in Sandro and Dybala in the game. But he needs to do it sooner rather than later. We began to come into our own towards the end of the half, though that probably was just Inter tiring. They will come out firing second half too. Pogba is lost at the moment, and Khedira despite all his finesse can't distribute like Pirlo or recover the ball like Vidal. We are losing the ball too much and no recovering it enough, which means we need to play with a little more creativity in the middle which is also missing with Morata spread wide and Zaza centred. Bring in Dybala already.

Problem with Morata, Zaza and Pogba is that they're trying to do it all on their own. They need to stop that and play within themselves. Pogba specially. Even more than Zaza. He's not looking entirely fit either.

Evra needs to take a seat, guy has absolutely nothing to offer in attack, makes our flank extremely limited and quite useless. Zaza is mid-table material and that's a fact. Pogba is unrecognisable, I just hope it's a temporary crisis and not a gradual decline in quality.

Our midfield is the problem imo, Marchisio is having an off-game, Pogba's playing like Sturaro on a bad day, and Khedira is decent but not as good as I had hoped.

Morata relatively invisible as well btw.

Zaza too limited techically.
Morata is being limited by being forced to play off of Zaza. The one time Morata was wide open to be in on goal, Zaza didn't even look at him. I don't get starting these two together. Dybala-Zaza, or Dybala-Morata might work. But these two clearly don't, as Morata has a tendency to make way in the middle for more traditional centre hugging forwards like Zaza. He's being marginalized by it, or allowing himself to be, but that's in part because Zaza is not good at creating space in the middle for a strike partner who is also basically a CF. Morata needs someone like Dybala or Tevez as a strike partner, who has some creativity and doesn't basically run up and down the very centre of the pitch all match.

Don't know who said it earlier but Pogba is acting like he believes his own hype, looks like he's not even focused, can't afford that at this level.

Pogba needs a kick in the pants. Zaza is giving his all, his all just aint good enough
I can agree with that. He's still having a bad game. A striker can't be missing opportunities like that. But as you said, that's who he is. A classless average Italian strikers, the Borriello way. It's foolish to expect more than that.
