Wasn't he being used on the left (where he doesn't like to play) when he actually used to start games? Then he got benched. Is it really his fault for being out of form now?

you of all people. I'll remember this when Marotta makes the smallest of mistakes in the future. And sorry, disagree. He had one horrible match, which was yesterday, and before that a bunch of matches being played off position. Pyshically there's nothing that suggests that he had a reason to lose form apart from being separated from a partner that serviced him all the time (Tevez) and again being played as a winger, so it's not like his talent just went away. You and a bunch of people here are being WAY too harsh on him and just choosing to forget what he can do on the big stage.

Of course it isn't. But you know the tuz...

Two pure CFS
Truth is we fucked up this mercato, no matter how you look at it. I love Dybala (and think he's adapting well as a secondary striker) but he is a CF and I'll bet whatever you want can perform 10 times better when played deeper. We already had Morata (mind you a guy who put on amazing performances against the best teams in the world, clutch as fuck) then we got 2 more CFs in Mandz and Zaza, no SS, nada.
Then to try and make it work, we push our best AND main striker to partner with another player who shares the same fundamental role, what a surprise!! it doesn't fucking work. Then still trying to fit him in the team we force him to play a winger role. Doesn't work either. :howler
SURE, Hustini and the likes. Let's shit on Morata.

I'm shitting on Morata now 
The guy is out of form. Heaven forbid long enough to warrant criticism. And then you try and make an argument about Marotta to try and make a case.

Is it a coincidence that dybala rarely getting true starting spot earlier in the season took his chances as did Mandzukic?
I'm sorry, missing two great chances has nothing to do with being out of form but trying to do too much with the ball.

You haven't said a single thing that even try to counter argument the points I made. You know why, because despite wanting to hate you know it's true.
If he's really out of form it's for the reasons already stated. And that's not his fault but how we acted this mercato, the players we chose. I have no doubt in my mind this guy having Tevez behind him for another season he'd have an ever better year.
Every single guy who ever played this sport had of these days, missing sitters and etc. It's normal. Now if he continues to have those days then we have a problem but for now he deserves a vote of confidence for what he brought/brings to the table and how our horrible dealing at the mercato has taken a toll on him specifically.

Does Marotta choose who to start and what position? No. Allegri is the one who's forcing him on the wings.
Was he involved in the dealings that saw our SS leave and brought 3 new CFs as replacement? Yes.
To answer your question, I blame both our board and coach but it goes back to our mercato, the players who left and the ones we bought.

Criticism is fair, when its about his form, and that he has to get his stuff togheter
However, everyone right in their mind knows that form is temporary and class is permanent
With wich i obviously meant the second game.
If he was in a decent form like the first game, he'd have scored against city in the return and sevilla. Actually, if he finds form, him and dybala would become quite deadly, considering the significant improvement of dybala
Compared to season start, Dybala has taken over quite a bit of the characteristics the team needed form tevez when we have the ball. Skillfull player that can take the ball, move forward and keep it, distribute it, can do great things with it.

We played well yesterday, both teams did. It was a good game of football.
There was nothing wrong with the tactics or the starting lineup. We did enough to win or at least draw, but Morata's finishing let us down. Had his first sitter gone in in first half, it would have been game over.
Allegri couldn't have made any more subs either (probably the silliest complaint out of all the odd ones). His options were Neto, Rugani, and three youth players.
The result is frustrating, but the only thing you can really complain about is Morata's finishing. It was probably nerves and a lack of confidence after being benched (he's usually clutch though), so I'm not mad at him, but I'm disappointed. You can't miss sitters like the one in first half at this level.

Sure but needless to say he is out of sorts. If he can manage to pull himself out of the hole and lead like he did all last season then fantastic. Our team has changed as CK said he doesn't have Tevez next to him to make it all easier. But the new guys are stepping up, isn't it usually the other way around? It appears he doesn't respond well to the pressure.
