Thought he did fine.

He was essentially up front on his own because Tevez played a lot deeper. He won the majority of his headers and held the ball up ok.

I would definitely have put on Morata or Coman for him after we scored though, we had a few counters and their pace could have exploited Milan more.

Good first half and average performance on the second from nando.
Very consistent partnership tevet-llorente, i don't remember more than two matches loosed since they arrived

Starting to get frustrating. What is it about Juve and tall tree-like strikers? He needs to get his groove back because he is frustrating to watch.

I know, and I still think Llorente is a poacher.
He is. He doesn't need to be given the ball with his back to goal to hold up play (aka Amauri argument all over again). He needs solid service in the box. Which means, he needs a fair amount of on target crosses which we can't provide.

Guy was starved of service tonight so he wasnt able to contribute much but I've seen no reason to drop him from the team. Always does what he does like a boss yet every time he doesn't score in a game people here want his head....

We aren't playing to his skill set. He needs wing deliver into the 6 yard box, that's where he excels and I think that's what Andy means when he thinks he is a poacher.

Not meant for anyone especifically but anyone wanting his head is as dumb as a rock.

:agree:

How many terrible games in a row before Allegri will try someone new in attack. We all know how stubborn Conte was with his favourites. Borriello :lol:
Like i said ebfore... o dont think he was ebing stubborn for the sake of it.... but he wanted to use his more experienced players in a derby witha full San Siro. I dont blame him.

But im pretty sure that in the cesenagame morata will get his minutes

Target men can't do anything against a parked bus. Their goal is to basically keep as many defenders around them in order to keep them off our other players. They're only going to score on a nice cross or loose ball mostly.

It was an average performance for me. He didn't lose too many balls. Ran as usual in defence. Won a couple fouls.

This too. And since Juve cant do shid against parked buses...then u get the idea.

As long as we do not develop a wing based formation with skilled dudes who can beat their man on wide lines..we will never truly conque the parked bus formation.

All our attacks go thru the middle so it is almost impossible to break 4 or 5 players around the keeper zone so easily.
