I wrote in another thread, imo we need Dybala making a sacrifice to make a moe balanced and effective lineup. Look at insigne on the left in this vid:


Can Dybala really not do a similar job on the right? If he cant for full 90 minutes, its OK, we can sub in Berna or move Cuads up and put Danilo/MDS. We had zero threat from wide areas vs Lyon, Cuadrado was all alone on the right and CR played more in the middle. AS cant support the attack constantly because he has Rabiot and Bonucci (and Pjanic as a DM) on his side. So imo we need 2 threats on each wing (DC/AS and Dybala/Cuads). Put Bentancur at DM since hes the closest we have to one, Chiello has to come back asap, and we need mezzalas helping CR press the defense. Rabiot is not one, Ramsey is. Khedira and Matuidi arent ones either, but they are closer to it than Rabiot.

Cuads MDL Chiello AS
Khedira/Matuidi Bentancur Ramsey/Matuidi
Dybala/Berna CR D. Costa/Berna

Key is can Dybala play as RM basically on defense and offense, and can Sami, Ramsey and DC stay fit. It takes some sacrifices, but imo its our best shot with this group
You already know the answer to the question.
Max showed us that dybala can't thrive in the rm role. He just doesn't have the stamina to do so.
His only good roles are cf and ss. He doesn't excel as a false 9 either.

We dont really need him to thrive though, we need him to provide width and keep the shape defensively. Thats why i said its necessary he makes sacrifices to his game. Also remember that this is only for the CL, we should still be able to cruise control through Serie A with him being a forward next to CR, because we dont have to press and play so much without the ball. If he cant put in the extra effort for max. 7 games in a season then we have a problem. Insigne does it, Dybala should be able to do it as well

Here's what I wrote before the start of the season. Since 2/3 of it have already passed, it makes sense to compare predictions with facts.



1. Alex Sandro is as bad as expected - check.
2. Danilo is as bad as expected - check.
3. De Sciglio is either injured or isn't good enough after an injury - check.
4. Ramsey is never fully ready - check
5. Rabiot failed to become an important player for his new team too - check.
6. Khedira is injured - check.
7. Matuidi lacks skills for the style of football he's expected to participate in - check.
8. Pjanic has already been exhausted for months - check.

Only Cuadrado and Bentancur have been nice surprises. If I was able to see all of this, and football is merely a hobby of mine, it means that high probability of 80% of all the current problems could have been detected and addressed timely by any half-competent football manager. What a disgrace.
So after all who is to blame?

Sarri for not providing Sarri ball

or

Fabio who is in charge of his first year

or Marotta for buying most of those you mentioned.....

or the players who are not showing up

or me because i brought this up


anyway....the coming summer is make or break for us

It is Rugani, the last defender in the hierarchy, who will stop the Juve season.

The guy who has to be transferred to every mercato.

Paratici has pangolin blood on his hands.

Why is Paritici ti blame? Who in the right mind will buy Rugani? Maybe take him if we pay them.
we had offers for rugani every single summer (as we do with probably all players), but the club refused to sell.

there are plenty of similar articles from the last couple of years:

https://www.football-italia.net/137384/rugani-agent-risky-juventus
https://www.football-italia.net/131648/agent-‘juventus-believe-rugani’
https://www.football-italia.net/125891/agent-rugani-unsellable-juve
etc. somehow the club insists on keeping him. :boh:

They only kept him so he can have a chance of infecting inda. Campionato falsato.

meh main problems are still the jackass of a coach and inexperienced sporting director who built an off balance squad more so than individuals lacking quality.

The club somehow manages to have too many players to register while, simultaneously, looking so short of depth in wingers, CMs, fullbacks to the point that we struggle to put together a cohesive lineup, are forcing players to play where they aren't good (ramsey or Costa at CAM, Rabiot as B2B, trying to fit 3 fwds on the pitch at a time etc.) then, one injury to a key player, and the whole thing has to be reshuffled. Someone really bundled this and if you can't see that your ass is blind.
