Allegri shat the bed again playing Asamoah, yes, Lemina should have played.
But I kinda expected a similar game. Inter are simply much more driven than we are, for obvious reasons.
Thing is, despite Allegri's mistakes, the general situation gives cause to concern.
Biggest concern is midfield, obviously, where right now it seems we have 3 fit mids who can contribute to the team (Lemina, Pjanic, Khedira). Asamoah seems really lost, Hernanes is gone as a high level player, Sturaro is just poor, Marchisio is injured and we dont know how he will come back, with a big pressure over him which wont help much.
But defense is our biggest problem now. It starts with the midfield. Khedira's constant movement sees him very often in the high end of our offense, and he's not a stamina freak like Vidal to do this and go back to help. Pjanic is also offering little on defense, while Asamoah's performances have been sad.
About the defenders, Chiellini has been Chiellini - he's just not trustworthy and can fuck it up anytime, we all know that.
But Barzagli has not been himself for quite some time now. I remember even in Euros, he wasnt well. Maybe father time is finally catching up.
Thing is, BBC at the moment is no longer guarantee of safety, considering our poor mids defensive output.
Allegri absolutely must consider other formations.
And for god's sake, line up our best players, for once. No Evra, no Asamoah, no Mandzukic. Licht is possibly doing even better than Alves on the right, I'm ok with him continuing to start games.
