By the end of this week or beginning of next week, it feels like Matuidi and Spinnazola will both be Juve players while Asamoah leaves. That would give Juve about two weeks to find good opportunities. I'd be delighted to see Cuadrado and Licht sold for a RB, CB, or Keita. Pjaca may...

Juve should be able to play a 4-3-3 with Dybala moving centrally while the opposite winger stays wide. Much like with Messi's central movements, Alves can provide the width out right. A 4-3-2-1 is possible as long as Juve sign another attacking mid. Regardless I think this type of player...

I agree that Dybala shouldn't be the only source of creativity in between the lines behind Higuaín/Mandzukic. If anything my preference is to get Dybala the ball further up the field like in his first season at Juve. However, I worry that Costa is a slightly better version of Cuadrado...

Exactly. Juve were tactically versatile in that they were fluidly able to shift between a back three and a back four. However, they were inflexible in that they couldn't shift between a two man and three man center midfield without losing quality. This was badly exposed by Real. Once Kroos...

I'm not sure if Costa can play in between the lines. He seems like a better version of Cuadrado, a player that performers better hugging the touchline. Although I'm not a big fan, Di Maria is the type of player that fills this attacking mid role as well as a winger. List of expendables...

He played there with Shakhtar. If Allegri is going to stick with a 3-4-3 / 4-2-3-1 then he makes sense. I still think they need more options to play overloaded midfields 4-3-1-2 / 4-3-2-1 formations. Rincon, Lemina, and Sturaro have proven not to be good enough. Khedira and Marchisio...

An Nzonzi type is important, but Juve still lack a player that can lift the creative burden off of Dybala in the final third. Seeing how Madrid passed all over Juve's center using a diamond midfield, adding an attacking CM would give Allegri the option to combat teams that overload the middle...

When did he lose the ball in the 2nd half in the way you describe? After watching the game, I can't recall any but perhaps he did. There aren't any such occasions in the youtube video of his touches during the game, but maybe the creator of it didn't include those clips for whatever reason...

It's hard for me to watch his performance against Bolognia and Sevilla and walk away with the impression that he can't beat a man or lacks acceleration/pace. The Bolognia video of all his touches (there is one of him vs Sevilla) show how he creates by dribbling either past players or sucking...

Dyblala vs Bolognia Counting his first match vs Lazio he has 4 goals (2 PKs) and around 3 assists. He has only just started getting continuous playing time.
