He'll do well, I never took friendly tournaments too serious add to that Liorente hasn't played in the last 10months, he needs minutes in his legs again to accelerate good.

He'll do well,
once tevez is connecting with the team
What if he doesn't and actually flops like many are thinking?

once conte puts his foot so hard against marchisio's ass, he'll actually starts running again
Marchisio's problem since day one, consistency.

once pirlo is sober
What if he is not going to be sober again? his age you know...

Once our defence is cured from adhd
This is extremely worrying.

Asamoah's crosses a bit further from the gk
Never going to happen.

Llorente needs proper match practise to find his feet again, training isn't enough. He needs to be used properly, he's slow but so was Trez but when used properly we all know how lethal he was. Llorente can do the same. He'll be a pain in the ass in the box, he'll open up space for his partnering striker since a striker like himself usually keeps 2 players on him especially in the box.

I get the feeling he'll score a lot of tap ins and simple goals which will add up..

Good, just checking.

Doesn't matter how the ball reaches the back of the net, so long as it does.

yes, and he'll connect like the vooch was doing last game once he settled in


I hope for all the rubbish idiots, that they now realise why selling the best forward of last season is an assclown move :

He has all the mechanics with the team, the others dont

Don't think it's right to give a lot of flak to a player who hasn't played that much the past several months. If he's still not playing well come mid-season, then you can go after him.

Yup.

Let him play some good games. He is not bad by any means and once he gets out of this slump he will deliver for sure.

Trez was one of the most limited strikers i have ever seen, and that doesnt prevented him to score goals left and right.

Llorente should be left alone for now. All discussion atm is pointless. The guy first has to regain optimum condition and since he barely played last year it will take some time. So patience people.

As for Trezeguet comparison there can't be any. They are very different players.

Remember when there was talk of Juve trying to sign him in January?

The general consensus round here was that it would be pointless because he'd take much of the remainder of the season to regain fitness/sharpness.

Now, I'm not suggesting he be given six months before judgements start to be passed, but to criticise him before the season has even started is hilariously stupid.

It can be comparable because both are targetmen. They are supposed to fulfill the same objective, to score goals.
IM not comparing them in terms of similarities between their playing style... but i wanted to point out that Trez was very limited, but he knew how to fulfill his role wih the tools he had at his disposal, so he is a prime example that as long as u get the job done, its ok.

Llorente is a target man.

Trezeguet was not - he was a poacher.

Llorente has far more in common with players like Ibrahimovic or Berbatov than he does with Trezeguet.
