It doesn't matter how long you've been here. The starting eleven should be picked on footballing ability and not on hierarchy.
Allegri's slow integration philosophy is useless, just play your best players ffs. Remember when we started Asamoah in midfield against Sevilla last year because Pjanic was still too new? Embarrassing!
I have seen enough of Cuadrado and Mandzukic to know that they will never be elite players. They are both in the prime of their career right now and still blow hot and cold. They are decent but nothing more. They would be squad players at best in other top teams.
Berna might become a top player, he might not, but until Allegri gives him a run of games instead of subbing him on with 4 minutes remaining we'll never find out.
