I see nothing wrong with Allegri playing Silva... and I'm not a fan of Allegri... not that I don't like him but I don't think he's done anything to make me like him.
edit: besides, I don't think it's something to cry over... I like Silva a lot but we were not going to win the Champions League with him there and we're not going to lose the Scudetto because of him missing.
Playing Silva was unnecassary, sure it could have happened on any other day in any other game, but it happened against Ajax, where our players didn't give a sh!t most of the time and the game was useless to us. You also can't say whether he would have gotten injured or not in the future had he not played against Ajax. We have perfectly good subs on the bench who are good enough to play, Sokratis being one of them, who Allegri has chosen to banish to the stands, simply because he made a couple of mistakes, something others on the team have done repeatedly but have been given chance after chance after that.
As for Silva making the difference, I think it makes a lot of difference, a couple of lost points because of defensive errors and we're no longer in the driving seat for the Scudetto. Te CL I agree with, we were never going to win it, with or without Silva, but the Scudetto is something we have a real chance for and it could be comprmised now, especially if Silva is out for a considerable amount of time
