that's not the point.
if i say that we play like $#@! in pre season, everyone here jumps on me and says "you cant judge, because it's only pre season" and that includes you
yet when a player plays well, everyone here faps and talks about the amazing abilities
this is a classic example of hypocrisy.
ah shuddap im not into that bunch.
Im of the ones who think that you can have a good idea of whats to come in preseason.. not tactically but im talking about individualities. In the tactical department i could understand the underperformance because most coaches are more worried about trying things and letting players regain form... rather than actually being serious about strongest 11s and winning. BUT, in the preseason friendlies, you can see basic things like technique, dribbling, passing and shooting. You can get an idea who are the molinaros with the ball and who are the comans.
For example, last season all of us saw how good coman was with the ball, and that didnt changed from night to day in the first official game. He continued being a good player.
What i want to say, is that even when we are sucking as team in the games, i can clearly see that dybala has got some technique and he is eager to do things, like it should be.
BTw, im not happy about what im seeing as a whole in preseason, as i see us strugling a lot and without a north. IM worried specially because we dont have a tevez anymore to carry us and we are like headless chickens when going forward.

Good point about Diego though, the guy looked extremely talented in those pre-season games but when the season started, he looked lost.
Can't really judge players IMO until at least the end of mid season
But he wasnt bad tbh... we need to be clear that we sucked A LOT as a team..and he was not the kind of guy to carry a team on his own. A lot of things were so wrong that season,,that it would be unfair to blame him. For exmpale...if he came in the first conte season, with the same age he came to us years ago...his story with us could hav been soo different.
