Based of two games in which
a) no pjanic
b) pjanic regista

but wait, did we play him as a mezzala ? YES, against sassuolo, a week ago.
But zach, what was the reaction ?

That we played amazing football and absolutely trashed sassuolo with insane direct threat from the middle


But zach, am i dementing ?

Yes you are son. Get a diary

Lmao. Shut up Zach

ozzy ozman;, you yourself were dishing out praise after dat sassuolo game and the insane pjanic-dybala connection, when he was a mezzala and Lemina held the midfield.

 

[Osman]

It's nothing to do with that, more about you sounding certifiably cuckoo.

Big dogs had a field day, whilst well you know how our weekend went...

Nah, lacks dynamism. Very little direct threat from the middle

Pjanic and Khedira are not threats going forward?

That's not what I said

 

[Afghan_juventus]

What did you mean by direct threat from the middle? I took it as creating chances, combining well with Dybala, and making well timed runs into the box.

Players who run with the ball towards goal, make forward passes in an around the goal area, take shots often or be a goal threat outside the area. That's what I mean by a direct threat from midfield.

An attacking force like Pogba. Pjanic and Khedira are offensive players, but are more passive and indirect.

Well thats true, but it doesnt necessarily make it a non CL winning mid. Out of Madrid's midfield none Casemerio, Modric, or Kroos have those characteristics.

 

[Nejc]

They don't need it as much because they use one more attacker and they can also field Isco or James which are direct threats.

Celtic vs City - If I have a ratio of 1.4 for this game and I think about putting 100$ on it
Do you see Celtic getting a point from this one? I mean for the ones who watched City this year are they going to thrash Celtic or could there be a surprise?

 

[Zacheryah]

De bruyne got rekt. But its guardiola and no one kills little pests like him

No surprise, not unless there is a red or shocking ref.

I agree its all about players and roles
Pjanic is playing at his best when he can roam forward and be an attacking threat
As a Regista Pjanic is clearly wasted.. Its like taking Zidane and let him play in front of the defence... He can definitely distribute plays but why not put him in a position which can let him express all of his abilities and not just some of them...

As for Khedira and Lemina / Khedira Hernanes
The first duo are not to my liking because Lemina shouldnt be our starter (not yet) while Khedira is great and he gets lots of chances which makes you hail his movement but curse his finishing skills...
The second duo Khedira see duo A.. Hernanes is actually a good distributer but he is definitely not a player who should be a starter... We can clearly do much better there...

We were linked with Witsel and will get him and he would add some needed physique but I`m not sure Witsel Khedira Pjanic is the way to go as I see Witsel more of a Khedira replacement than a DM one...
I guess when Marchisio comes back we will see what Juve is all about (if he comes back and be at least as good as before his injury...)

Can we win the CL? Yes - Fortunately we have an easy group on paper which should help us getting through and then we will have Marchisio back against the tougher teams!

Legia Warsaw douches all over the tourist hell Chiado district. Figures they would be tasteless in their travels as well as the football club they support.
