I like Mandzukic but he has been useless for a while now.

No goalscoring instinct, little creativity, not even giving the workrate he is known for.

Given his form and the tight pitch, the tactic should a have been to get balls in the box for him to header with Dybala/Higuain picking up knock downs.

He'll be 32 by the start of next season. He's not getting any younger. I don't think he should be a guaranteed starter, but as a bench option for LW and CF he's more than adequate. Now, if he wants more game time and a starting spot come next season, I'm afraid he'll have to look elsewhere.

When was the last time he gave us anything consistent from the bench?

It's been a while, but I respect players who have given a lot to the Juventus cause. Guys like Asamoah, Marchisio, and Mandzukic deserve to stay on, but they can't be guaranteed starters. They need to accept and expect that. There's no room for sentiment if you seek glory.

He should be a CF rotation player. Nothing more.

Or try him as DM instead of Khedira. I think mandz would a hell of a ball winning DM on the midfield with his headers :D

Asamoah and Marchisio at least add value from the bench. I'll give credit to Asamoah, he has kicked it into a new gear in the 2nd half of this season.
