Juan Cuadrado (46 Viewers)

[Bianconero_Aus]

I thought he had a pretty good performance today. His pace and skill are more than welcome on the wing, and he is so good on the counter. Same old thing about his end product though. But what a fun and unpredictable player he is. Love him.

His dynamism and unpredictability helps greatly the 352 of doom

The offensive potence of a 3-5-2 vs. one with Licht is night and day. He also never stops getting fouled.

 

[Tak!]

Lively display today, we already know he can't score and that's no surprise. But he offers plentiful of other qualities.

 

[JuveJay]

He'd be world class with end product, that much is obvious. So in the games where he does get that final pass or shot in he does put in that level of performance, just a little off it yesterday. That pace against a last man is an absolute no-contest.

at the end, he first wanted to punch jose mauri then they became friends, love this guy <3

I'd really like to see him play on the left side of a 4-3-3. His issue is always end product, and you increase that percentage drastically if you're inverted. Scoring from your natural wing is simply not as easy.
--------Cuadrado---Higuain-----Dybala-----
-------Pjanic----------------------Khedira----
------------------Hernanes-------------------
Sandro---Chiellini--------Bonucci----Alves

Dybala can play a bit more like a secondary striker, while Cuadrado will play as a pure inverted winger.

Cuadrado very rare if ever played on the left. And it's very hard to cut inside with his dribbling, he needs space to operate and you don't find space in the middle.

Well, I can tell you one thing statistically. If I take all the games he played as a pure right winger (not wing back), and all those that he was played on the left, the results are this:

RW/RM
42 Apps
8 Goals
8 Assists

LW/LM
13 Apps
7 goals
3 assists

That tells me that when has played, mostly for Fiorentina in 2013/2014, he did very well on the left side.

For example, he had one clear cut chance last game, but had to shoot with his right foot from the right side and it went wide. If he was on the left side, the chances of him burying that would have been much higher.

Hm, I've gone to check your statistic on transfer market and it doesn't show me anything like that at all for 2013/2014 season.

Here is a quote from Vincenzo Montella:
http://www.violanews.com/news-viola/montella-vogliamo-vincere-giocando-bene/?refresh_ce-cp

Cuadrado? Può giocare sia a destra che a sinistra con caratteristiche diverse. A Udine, partendo da sinistra, è arrivato tre volte in porta. A seconda della corsia esprime le sue caratteristiche, così come Joaquin. Cuadrado partendo da sinistra fa più gol.

Johnny Square is like that FM regen you get that can play GK/CB/RB/CM/RW/ST but you don't know what his natural position actually is.

Thanks, dude. Really interesting statistics, looks like you are right. For some reason I thought that Montella used 352 almost always.
I think though if we are gonna use 433 Pjaca might be the first pick to play on the left.
Looks like Max more interested in build up play from Cuadrado, his ability to stretch defense than his finishing.

 

[Hydde]

That is his strong point. I agree with that.

 

[edgardavids2608]

The biggest weakness of the 3-5-2 is getting pinned back and not having an outlet to break the pressure. Allegri changed that when he came in and installed multiple outlets and keeps adding them. Alves/Cuads or Morata coming back and dribbling out all break the pressure and make the opposition retreat. Thats what Cuads does better than any of the other players on our team

 

[Hydde]

Yeh.

Conte 352 was shid because when pinned and not in control we had no ways to counter attack or relieve the pressure from our defenders.

352 with players like morata, cuadrado or maybe pjaca , could be a total different thing

 

[Amer]

Such an important player, game-changer. This guy can cover 6-7 positions in the team. He's like Padoin, but with lots of cocaine.

 

[abrakadaver07]

What? I thought he had a pretty quiet game. Has a long way to go to match the impact he had for us last year, especially the first half of the season.

Lol game changer? He's shit, the purest fancy player with absolutely no end product I've ever seen.

Cuadrado could've had a better career as a freestyler footballer.

Wow.


Wow. Wow. WOW
