How does the lack of service affect his ball control?
He has a awful ball control. So what. :D Chiellini is a great defender. But he's passing is senior level.

Not every player is perfect and It's not like he lost the ball even half of what Pirlo, Chiellini, Marchisio etc did. :D

I'm glad to read this stuff from you, W :tup:

You're gonna be frustrated as fuck with this place when they have a go at Llorente for not showing up or for not scoring (when a huge part of the problem lies with the lack of service from midfield). But rest assured: I'll help out when that time comes!
Tbh, it's only gonna be funny for me. Because i know Llorente will prove folks in here wrong. :D

This again? :howler:

He didn't have a good match, but none of our strikers did.

Our main problem, though, was in midfield. Pirlo and Marchisio in particular were awful. Try being a striker with that happening.
Jem i really really like you and have massive respect for you but your bias towards him is getting a bit nauseating now.Sorry i had to say it.

Not disagreeing on the midfield being awful though but he's another player from our team who i believe who is not cut it for the top level games like these.

So what's the problem with people having a go at him? This should be going on in 8 threads right now, they were that bad most of them.
Because there was nine other players (not including Vidal the beast) who had games just as bad - if not worse - than him.

He was terrible, no two ways about it, his ball control and hold up play sucked. But again, he wasn't helped by the pathetic performance from the midfielders today. He and Quag barely had any service to begin with.

The whole team sucked, and Conte fucked up big time with his tactics and lack of plan B.

They are fine if you are controlling possession and putting the ball into dangerous areas. This was never likely to happen in this game, which is why Matri should only have been starting if Vucinic was.

They don't seem fine to me lately, he's a decent finisher for me but a finisher at Juve should still be able to hold on ball and control it well enough not Del Piero style but to some point manage to hold and rotate the pass.

Matri can do that rabbijaan. I think our anger is misplaced here. I can't blame Matri if he's not being used to his strengths.
I'm not angry bro, I just think he's too much agitated when he's got the ball and his first instinct isn't there to help him and mainly because he's a ball finisher and not someone who can hold on the ball and open up space for his team-mates.

But then again, I wouldn't blame him much because tactically Conte misplaced him vs Bayern.

you cant blame any of the forwards, they got no service.
No one is debating that, I'm talking about Matri's ball control. I know he got zero services but that's irrelevant to what I'm saying.
