Fernando Llorente (142 Viewers)

[Linebreak]

Yes... This team can't cross a ball I don't get it?

If you have players like Tevez and Giovinco playing LW RW they can both cross really well.

One shot one kill what's the deal

I predict he'll become our best striker by the end of the season. Just needs Conte to start him a lot more.

 

[Bianconero_Aus]

Happy for big Nando. If you provide him with crosses of that quality, he scores them (almost) every time. Should have stayed on til the end IMO.

Now for him to score more regularly in the league as well.

 

[Stevie]

Nice header and he made a few nice passes today too, he played well and i'm happy with his performance. Dare I say it but sometimes he reminds me of Trez.

 

[Ragazza]

As Bilbao trolls said, he loves to score against Real

Notice how they disappear when he's actually playing. Not just playing well, but playing in general.

 

[Bianconero_Aus]

That pass to Tevez was brilliant.

None of our other forwards have that sort of ability to win the ball, shield it, and play a pass like that. It was gorgeous.

Good game from Nando.

 

[X Æ A-12]

Aside from the goal I honestly didn't think he was as great tonight as some here. His link up play is still raw and i think he is certainly capable of better when on top and given an extended run.

Still, brilliant stuff to see him scoring and managing to impact such important matches when he isn't at the top of his form and confidence. Something Juventus have lacked in a CF for years.

 

[ZoSo]

Can't believe we still play those short corners with this guy in our team

 

[89man]

Hero of the week for Juventus.

 

[Salvo]

The goal was so fucking important. Took it well. That's all he needs to do, if he can walk away on a bad with a goal and keeping the other defenders busy with his physical play I'm happy. Who's cross was it?

 

[Klovn]

Caceres'

 

[Klin]

Why cross the ball when you have such a strong tall player in the team?

 

[Salvatore]

It's really nice having a striker that will put away chances like that. Quagliarella was getting pissy when he didn't close down Casillas even though he was obviously shattered

 

[Klin]

I liked that from Quag.

 

[Deep C]

I really liked the way he manipulated Varane on his goal. Sure, Varane showed some inexperience and made a mistake, but Llorente's movement on him and subtle physical influence really made the goal. Nicely placed finish too.

He was a bit alone at times though and while he's quite good at receiving the ball and decent at laying it off, if he's forced to make his lay offs 20-30 meter passes, his success rate will inevitably suffer.

He's also a big man so he can't be expected to press full on for 90 minutes, so it's unfair to expect that. He looks insanely fit but moving a body of that size really does take it out of you.

Good progress - fuck da haters.

Top post. This guy will get better in time. His physical presence and hold-up play will be an important weapon for Conte to use.

 

[satfootball]

he is more dangerous with crosses from right winger.

[Mr Chocolate]

this guy is slowly becoming one of my favourites on my team
