One thing I hope is Allegri uses these games to gauge the players. For example, I've always maintained that Acerbi shows more character on the field than Bonera while Zapata today for me showed more leadership than Mexes (despite the red card). Now I'm aware that Mexes and Bonera have more experience behind them, and they haven't been too bad this year, but right now I'd rather take my chances with Zapata and Acerbi in defence.
Same in midfield, I think Nocerino's place should be reconsidered, he's just not pulling his weight this season and I'd feel happier with a guy like Urby in his place, especially after what I saw today (though Boateng did well too).
In attack, I'm keen to see what Pato can do in Pazzini's role.
