Andrea Pirlo (25 Viewers)

[Nomuken]

I was actually ok with him tonight as well, just summing it up overall games before but then again most were pre-season. He gave great hustle to win the ball back several times but I kinda minus this match from others just cause of the fact this is a Derby Match of course it's different were his going to be more amped up.

He should really consider retiring from international football.

He will after the WC, getting rid of him before seeing if he improves after he does retire from int'l doesn't make sense, unless he wants to leave.

terrible in the 2nd half, could have cost us bad on quite a few occasions.

Olivero Giovan Battista from LGdS checked how many times Pirlo was subbed before the final whistle.
Pirlo played 89 games for us and was subbed before the end only 4 times - 3 out of 4 were already won games (Novara, Lecce & Celtic) and once Pogba got a chance (0-0 with Fiora).
Seems Conte was really not impressed.

Interesting. Very interesting.

I honestly hope he benches Pirlo against Copenhagen. Never going to happen, but we need to start getting used to life without Pirlo sooner rather than later. I'm sure we could manage without him on Tuesday night.

He can be a big liability to the team sometimes, but like it or not, this team is not ready for life without Pirlo yet. We're too dependent on his performance.

Unfortunately this is true. Which is why at the end of this season and in the summer transfer window, we need to either invest in a younger, more dynamic attacking midfielder or another Pirlo type DLP (only Verratti springs to mind and he's untouchable)

 

[Klin]

I'd love Banega here, but we'll probably be all over Xabi Alonso.

Its win win if that is the case.

 

[Klin]

Yeah, I love Xabi.

 

[Salvo]

I think Verratti will be to expensive. At least right now. Depends if he gets played much this season. Xabi would be ideal.

 

[Bianconero_Aus]

Xabi. Wouldn't mind at all.

 

[Mr Chocolate]

verrati will only get more expensive

 

[Tevez10]

verrati will only get more expensive

Not really, His value is decreasing because Blanc is starting Thiago Motta more often than Verrati. Let's hope he continues doing that!

 

[Mr Chocolate]

we re his favourite club so if he does move then it will be us if we want him

 

[Zacheryah]

In order for us to replace pirlo, we need pogba to mature more to the point where he can build up the play and dictate the flow of the game.

Its to much to ask of him allready, given his age. a temporaty solution like xabi alonso would be interesting

Not banega, who's mostly an overrated trickpony who'll never deliver what he's hyped for years ago. (sadly)

tbh he only ever spoke about napoli and fiorentina. i seriously start to doubt he even wants to come here, let alone juve be his favorite team.

pogba is a box to box midfielder

that's what he is best at, it would be stupid to use him in a position where he isn't used to his full potential

Still Pogba is better in that position than Marchisio or Vidal. If Pirlo isn't playing than we have no choice but to play Pogba there.

Btw, I did like when Pogba and Vidal switched positions yesterday, and I don't know why though.

 

[Albo]

It wasn't his best game,but still he almost got 2 assists !
He is our most important player (Maybe not best one) !
