I would wait until the final whistle at Wembley next week to comment.
Sure - Khedira can score from the center in 94th minute again and we'll go through. Maybe it would be better to start watching games from the 90th minute onwards???

Even a blind man can see we lack something. Perhaps we'll luck it out, change tactics or simply improve, but if none of those things happen - I wouldn't give us much of a chance.

We need to stop playing so poorly

Mandzukic is useless as is Khedira
Mandzukic can't hold up a ball anymore and Khedira looks like someone's grandpa out there
Khedira declining so hard this year seems to have not been planned for at all. He was quite good for us down the stretch last season, at the very least passable. This season, he's just visibly deteriorated.

It's too bad Marchisio seems to be a shell of his former self, as with Khedira underperforming, Marchisio not looking very convincing when he has been on the pitch and Max not seeming to trust him anymore, we're light in midfield again.

Betancur is an option, but he looks like a red card waiting to happen every time single time he's on the pitch. He makes really rash and impulsive challenges. I'd like to see Allegri start playing Betancur and Marchisio more often in the matches against lower-table Serie A clubs, see if he can get them going, Betancur to grow and mature a bit, and Marchisio to rediscover some form. It's my only knock on Allegri this year. He needs to rotate our midfield more and get some confidence and form into our rotation players.

Lazio packed the bus pretty good! Such a frustrating game and then the goal! What a match. Never celebrated so much in a long while. Let's hope for the same next week.

Beside Khedira, none of the players deserve criticism. Mandzu is a warrior and obviously not 100%. This team is both poorly trained and coached. From fitness and conditioning all the way to team selection and tactical level.

Mandzukic should never start for us in any big game

He adds nothing in attack and can only contribute defensively since Allegri turned him into a LB

Bentacur will develop into a fine player, I've got high hopes for him. I just hope that after the inevitable midfield overhaul, there will still be space for him. I don't want us to pull a pereyra or lemina, use him here and there and sell, he seems to have more talent the those two.

Mandzukic can't fucking pass the ball, control a ball or even head the ball any more. I don't care if months ago he ran up and down the pitch all game you don't get medals for being a good lad here. He needs to up his game or hit the bench. Matri got hounded back in the day for less. At least his runs were useful in dragging defenders away.
