Cuadrado is the utmost perfect role player for Juve, love his game, and his characteristics are unique.
The only chance he gets a starting place, imo, is if Alves underperform (he MUST stop switching so much to mid) and he is deployed as a full time RWB.
And IMO, last season 2nd semester Cuadrado showed a lot of improvement on that position. He can defend OK, he has insane stamina to trace back. He lacked positioning discipline, some containing on his urge to move forward, and he improved on that.
I think a 352 with Sandro and Cuadrado, with a more present midfield which allows Dybala to be a free role trequartista, but nearer Higuain, is a fucking beautiful scheme. We could very well win it all with it.
In the first games of the season, our poor performances were heavily related to some mistakes by Allegri, specially against Sevilla and Inter.
These last games, however, the performance is more related to mentality than anything else IMO. Oh, and also to the ghost presence of Pjanic and Khedira. These 2 need to assert themselves in the middle, we need more personality from them. That's huge. 433 or whatever wouldn't sove the problem. Another midfielder might do, but he's not in the squad yet.
