Definitely should play vs Bologna.

His intelligence, passing, stamina and workrate are much much better than I ever realized. He's so much more complete than I thought. His finishing is what needs to improve, and I don't count on it, it's his characteristic. Absolutely vital to the team.

He's been in great shape, amazing defending. But honestly, he's been stalling the offense on the left end. We play with Cuadrado through the right 90% of the time, it's not ideal.

Of course they will exercise the option, it will be up to him to decide, and it's very likely he goes back. Possibility he stays is if Madrid is stacked at the CF position, or if he becomes an undisputed starter at Juve (something he should already be), and we can get to CL semis again or...

Yes, defense looks steady as ever, the midfield is the biggest difference right now. We also have attackeres underperforming, but it will come with time. The big issue here is definitely the midfield. I was very surprised with Khedira, he's more intelligent that I thought, has deceptively good...

Allegri developing some premises to the team: - Barzagli must play; - Midfield needs experience, and Pogba can't lead yet; - Cuadrado must play; - Morata must play, mostly as a CF. As long as he keeps these premises, the team should develop. I'm glad he found them. To me Dybala needs to...

I was very surprised with some performances. Hernanes was a monster in that midfield. Great positioning, solid tackling, very good distribution. Khedira surprised me a lot. He's not predictable and slow as I thought. He seems to be a very intelligent player, with more agility than I...

It would be better, but it makes absolutely no sense to use Evra as LWB when he can't offer offensive push, having Alex Sandro on the bench.

So yep, another player out of position. Morata can sometimes drift around LW, but he's definitely a CF.

433 with Barzagli as a RB, Evra, Hernanes as a regista, Dybala as a LW is not the way to go. Looks bad, too many players out of position. He should go with 352 with Cuadrado, Sandro, Dybala and Morata as a constantly moving duo of SS/CF, Pereyra must play in the midfield.

Very weird to read he'll be starting the game.

Allegri has been in fault, but Marotta is the one to point fingers here. He overhauled the squad without any direction, made head scratching last time deals and pulled the team together in the last day of mercato. Injuries have also been a mess, and that's on the poor preseason...

This. It shouldn't be that hard - - - Updated - - - If he's playing Evra and Cuadrado, it's not going to be 352. It will be a 433 with Evra as a LB, Barzagli RB, Cuadrado RW. Don't really like it. Play 352 with Sandro-Cuadrado, midfield with the best: Lemina, Pogba, Pereyra, Dybala-Morata...

Because of what Marotta said. He said he called Vidal and Vidal said he wanted a new experience, he wanted to go to Bayern. And that was that. This is how one express his desire, but not formally. Instead, Marotta should have insisted on Vidal, spent time trying to convince him, dragged the...

If Vidal really wants to go, you let him go only if he express his desire formally. And you sell him at YOUR conditions - at your timing, after setting apart the adequate replacement, IF you are able to find one. This isn't hard to understand. The guy has a contract. There are 3 parties. The...

Shows how much he cares. The guy is recovering from another injury and goes out and gets drunk. Should have sold him past summer, he's a decent backup for the RB but doesn't offer anything different from Licht. And is constantly injured.

I was agreeing with every bit of this post, till I read the last sentence. Of course it was down to inexperience. The fact they missed so many chances, the lack of precision, shows a lot of anxiety, it has everything to do with inexperience. But I agree, there were very good signs in the 2nd...

Now if Allegri goes back to 4 men defense, I'll lose it. Stick with 352 while Sandro and Cuadrado are available. Do not start Sturaro. Play Pereyra/Hernanes as a starter along with Pogba. Play Dybala. If he stick to this, I'm confident we'll go back to victories.

beast as a RWB. Keep him there.
