I'm sorry but he just ain't the same Mandzukic from the last 3 seasons. I'd agree our team more than ever lacks creativity, is very predictable but he's been missing the kind of goals he simply wouldn't before.

He's so limited that he impedes the build up play. Dybala was in space on multiple occasions today and Mandzukic through lack of vision and ability simply couldn't find him.

He should be a supersub only. Being good in the air and having a high workrate should not be enough to start at this club. Especially if we're not playing with wingers

We need to start Dybala/Morata together as much as we can. It really is about time Allegri gives both an extended run in the team together, two young, talented, quick and mobile players. Mandzukic can have a role in this team (supersub, or when we come up against very robust/physical sides) but our best players should always start.

I woudnt say he was so bad yesterday, he really lacked services. It is so frustrating seeing Licht crosses.
He had one chance he should have buried, when Alex Sandro put low cross and he shoot wide with his left foot, but it still wasnt an easy chance.
What I really like about him is his pressure on the defenders, he can run whole game and fight with them.
Imo this performance was much better than in the ones before.

He missed these goals before too. Never has been a clinical player in his life
We already had this discussion. You just dislike him. Don't know what you consider clinical but a 20+ goals a season for 3 seasons in a row is undoubtedly a clinical player.

He is the definition of a right place right time player. Is that a skill? Debatable.

Hasn't really impressed me in the air either, despite the reputation.

The workrate is there but I don't think his stamina is what it used to be. He was gassed in the second half vs Milan.
