Play him, we need to give him and Tevez a chance to find an understanding. And when/if Llorente starts scoring goals we will have a huge threat in the penalty box. This whole if it ain't broken don't fix it theory is good and all but I'm pretty sure our teams recent success isn't depending on Vucinic's being there or not. We've seen Vucinic's peak, and although many of us like him, it obviously wasn't enough.

He won't play more than 5 minutes tommorow. According to Tuttosport, he's having diffulties adapting to Conte's tactics and he is not ready to play yet, especially against team like Lazio.

Has Llorente played with a 2nd striker before? I have seen honestly nothing of him before he joined Juve. To me it looks like he is not the player to be getting involved in build up play and he should really be the target man to get all the service to. When i seen him with Tevez he looked like that part of his game getting involved in the build up does not suit him very well and we would be much better off just playing him like a Gomez and feed him the ball to score.
Finally someone understand it.

This Llorente situation. Even Chirico wrote about this. According to him, Conte and Marrotta are at loggerheads over this as 'apparently' he doesn't suit Conte's tactics and systems and he's a player Marrotta favours.

Sad if true. Coz the player deserves a chance before being written off this way.

But that doesn't make for a good story right now, does it?

Curious what it is about Llorente that has caused the Italian press to go after him and try to stir up trouble so much.

ah this guy



La terza panchina consecutiva a cui sembra destinato Fernando Llorente dopo altrettante uscite stagionali ha fatto riflettere qualcuno sulla possibilità che l'ariete basco non sia entrato ancora in sintonia con i dettami tattici di Conte. E' questa anche la sensazione del giornalista 'bianconero' Marcello Chirico: "Che ci sia qualche problemino con Llorente è vero - le parole di Chirico sul suo profilo Facebook - Fernando sta trovando parecchie difficoltà ad inserirsi negli schemi e nei movimenti richiesti dal mister: ieri, durante l'amichevole con la Pro Vercelli, nella quale sono state utilizzate le 2° linee, Conte lo ha continuamente richiamato e rimproverato. Insomma, non ci siamo ancora. Marotta ha smentito le voci su una possibile cessione dello spagnolo entro la chiusura del mercato, ma mi risulta che invece Tonio sarebbe possibilista. Solite divergenze tra allenatore e DG, e non è la prima volta. Se Llorente giocherà poco, sapremo il perché. E ci chiederemo: l'ha voluto Conte o è l'ennesimo pallino di Marotta?"

    The media over there trash Llorente because he didn't score in like 5min played but don't mention a certain someone(Gomez) who played like 200min and is at 0 goals too.

    You don't start in the first match of the season, and people want to call you washed up.

    This alone pretty much says how much Chirico wants to be taken serious.

    He's Spanish, remember? Spanish players don't do well in Serie A.

    They were targeting him before the season even started.
    Yeah, it's sad.
