With Dybala missing, we lack creativity especially with Pjanic playing deep.
No bonucci worldclass long balls, but also only 1 wingback to give them to.
No Sandro/evra so the wide play is not remotely as good
No Khedira, makes alot of difference in the midfield combinations
And like you said, Dybala-Pjanic had a great understanding
I dont get it. Mandzukic-Higuain ? Then put the best crossers on the sides
