  1. Gonzalo Higuaín

    Tough guy right here, hm.
  2. Serie A 2016/2017

    Lazio is putrid. Their performance vs us was pathetic, honestly. They not only have a squad with very limited talent, but mainly their players lack personality/drive. It's just all good for them, regardless of results.
  3. [Serie A, 4th round] Calciopoli Directors 2-1 JUVENTUS [18th September, 2016]

    Was thinking the same. He really looks like a Marotta classical signing. I have the feeling they didnt get him because of personality/temperament/ possible trouble at meshing with senators.
  4. Winter mercato thread 2016-17

    Can Witsel be creative? From what I've learned (havent seen him play properly), he looks like a poor man's Khedira. I mean, what he could offer is already fully provided by the German. Not exactly creative, but intelligent movement off the ball. Even considering Marchisio immediatly closes the...
  5. Sami Khedira

    I have the impression that his offensive movement, as good as it is, leaves our midfield unprotected, specially when we play Pjanic as a regista. We really need a real DM who can do great amounts of running and covering space, like Marchisio was before and like Lemina could be. This is not a...
  6. Kwadwo Asamoah

    Marchisio is a questionmark at this point, he's coming from a very important injury. The weakness starts there. In that midfield, Pjanic has to show he can contribute to defense also, even as a CM, specially because Khedira does a lot of runs and leaves us uncovered. So that's another...

    Me too. The main difference here was the drive IMO. Inter was drooling to play the game, and it was just another game for us. They absolutely wanted it more and outworked Juve. But also, Inter has a good team. It's just a matter of time until they mesh. They have a very weak spot on their...
  8. Gonzalo Higuaín

    I'm sure Allegri's decision of playing Mandzukic was not technical. It was to make the guy feel valued and useful. He gambled again, hoping Mandzukic could score and regain confidence, knowing the team could be damaged by this. And again it was a bad decision.
  9. [Serie A. 5th round] JUVENTUS 4-0 Cagliari [21st September, 2016]

    I like that team. I also like 352 when using adequate players. We actually didnt have them a few years ago as we have now. What I dont like is the fear our coaches have of getting away from that scheme. It's only justifiable when the back 3 are on top form AND midfield manages to protect...
  10. Mario Mandžukić

    He's in poor form but also I see a bit of disappointment for the same thing happening over and over during his career. It's understandable, they are not machines. He's a good player, definitely a very good backup CF to have, in theory. But IMO he's caught up too much on that "grinta" hype. He...
  11. Andrea Barzagli

    It's a subtle performance decrease, it's been some time now. Doesnt qualify as age decline yet, but could be a sign. Him and Chiellini havent been at the expected standard, that's for sure. But they have also been exposed because of poor defensive input from the new midfield.
  12. Miralem Pjanić

    I'm talking about Asamoah
  13. [Serie A. 5th round] JUVENTUS 4-0 Cagliari [21st September, 2016]

    He's right about resting Khedira, he has to. He's not insane enough to play Evra and Asamoah this time. And he basically said he won't give up 352 now, or it would be some sign of weakness. Lol. That "during the season" they will change the fucking scheme. It will be a 352 with Rugani for one...
  14. [Serie A. 5th round] JUVENTUS 4-0 Cagliari [21st September, 2016]

    Rest Khedira. For this game, we can play Hernanes as a DM and Pjanic-Lemina. - - - Updated - - - And FFS, if we cant play a 2 men CB in this game, we'll never do it.
  15. Franco Cristaldo/Adrián Cubas watch

    I like the prospect and paying 9M for him. But he's been disappointing for Boca so far, I have to say. The hype was too big, and he was irregular and underperformed a lot of times for them. He hasnt even become a starter for them. Soo, dont expect too much right away. Hes no Pogba. I could...
  16. Mario Mandžukić

    He's not looking as a prime sub, but as an average Italian CF fart. The guy has been absolutely inoffensive. I think he might miss some drive, he knows his time at Juve is done from the day they decided to pay 90M for a guy for his position.
  17. Paulo Dybala

    Well, it's very clear he's been coming back too much. Need to change something here.
  18. Mario Lemina

    In terms of defensive output yes, he's become critical.
  19. Sami Khedira

    His offensive movement is spectacular in the box, he could teach a few things to Mandzukic. However, the execution of his movements when kicking the ball is soooooo slow. And he missed 2 clear cut chances in 2 games in a row... cant rely on him to score. Also, I have the feeling his offensive...
  20. Giorgio Chiellini - Director of Football Strategy

    I definitely dont trust him at this point. He's too much error prone.
