Yeah, their play through midfield in that spell was awesome. Milan were getting absolutely hammered and there was no suggestion they were going to get anywhere in that game until Tonelli and Jorginho decided to fuck up and invite Milan into the game. After that, Milan played pretty well and...

Well I feel that game and the change of shape properly resulted in more questions than answers. Juve started with good intensity and got themselves 2-0 up from creating one chance. Lots of games become quite straightforward once you do that. The front four functioned pretty well...

How much? That 4-PW? - - - Updated - - - https://twitter.com/PGATOUR/status/822540206981152768 :heart:

Not sure what they see in him.

I don't see it being good for him. You'd have to consider it if that was required to make the whole team function well, but I don't think that is the case just now.

You were the main reason I came back to the forum. Over the last month or two I've been hearing so much talk about fake news. Naturally, that made me think of you.

I don't see Allegri moving Dybala wide, though. He may tinker with the shape and Dybala's position, but I can only see it being in 4-3-1-2 or 4-3-2-1. That means Dybala's position would just be slight variations on where he usually plays.

Italian law doesn't apply in Naples. And he can travel, but he can't have assets in Italy or the authorities could/would confiscate them.

So, would it be wildly unreasonable for me to guess that the comment from Verratti's agent is the basis of the claim by La Stampa?

He had a strong first 30 mins and then tailed off.

Ah, Mark. :heart: How I missed your nonsense when I wasn't around.

I've found it quite interesting watching Juve's journey from the extremely systematic approach of Conte to the light-touch style of Allegri and wondering where the most effective point has been over the years. Juve couldn't have done anything in Conte's first season or two without the rigid...

Allegri traditionally hasn't really gone in much for gameplans. He organises a defence and then looks for individuals to do something good to get goals. What you saw in the first two seasons was Allegri using Conte's style/plans and the link to Conte's set-up gradually getting weaker and...

Juve need someone with mobility, intensity and aggression. There isn't the possibility to sign a player like Vidal or Nainggolan just now, I don't think, but that is what's lacking. Sturaro (or Asamoah) is the right sort of player, but Juve need something better than that when talking about a...

I need to see more of Rincon in that sort of role to see if he'd make it work. In theory it could work, but it depends on exactly how Pjanic, Rincon, Pjaca and Dybala interpret those roles as to whether the whole thing actually fits together and works. I always think everything is much easier...

I consider a Pjanic-Marchisio midfield a bit too lightweight. And while there is no doubt in my mind Pjanic needs to play (and probably hasn't been as poor as some would have you believe), I think he'd be considerably less of a presence in the final third given how much defending he'd have to...

Demoted? Big Yorkshire derby like that is probably more interesting and meaningful than most EPL games...

The midfielders can all play and that shape may give Juve more defensive solidity. But it's very easy to imagine this Juve struggling to break teams down due to a lack of width in 4-3-1-2.

Not far off it. Juve's squad still looks to me to be built for 3-5-2 more than anything else. But if it is 3-5-2 then I think Khedira is the player who needs to miss out to get Pjanic in. Khedira is undoubtedly a better player than the other options, but all the other option for midfield...
