I cant believe I am defending Allegri on this but his job is to try to win the games using the resources available to him. To avoid using a player in a game where he believes he'd be useful would be really wrong. Management, with Allegri's input, made the decision to buy him (lets not go into the "he has no say" nonsense again plz) to use him when the coach finds it necessary. It would be very concerning if he doesnt field a player he thinks will help the team win.
