Juan Cuadrado (52 Viewers)

[Ocelot]

I can see Khedira playing as Trequartista in a 4-3-1-2 with Pogba and Asamoah/Lemina next to Marchisio if we have all on good fitness levels. Pereyra and Hernanes can jump in with such a scenario before Cuadrado and Sturaro. Cuadrado will be used to change the shape of the team when needed but with the lack of a left option, it might not happen often. I am mostly worried about Alex Sandro if Evra keeps beasting though.

Khedira isn't a TQ, by far not. Pogba & Marchisio would play there before Sami.

We have to change the shape because we lost our two creaters from last year in Pirlo and Tevez. No way we just ice him out after such great games

Incredible player, what a hell was Chelsea thinking when they decided to let him leave after only a few months? That pace, but that effectivness. Pivotal member of our starting eleven.

Cuadrado is better when he does not have the ball. We have to adapt the team away from him a little bit. And we have to encourage him to move away from his comfort zone which is to drift into space and stand still until he gets the ball, at which point he initiates a dribble against 4 players.

That moment when he ran the line like a train and Khedira put the ball over the top is the exact way to use Cuadrado. Let him move towards the net without the ball and put the ball there for him at the end.

It's a more effective tactic to have Pogba, Marchisio, Dybala or Morata with the ball and use Cuadrado more as a classical winger IMO. Trying to dribble through Italian defences will never work.

If he even just makes off ball runs like Lichtsteiner he will be more effective. Since obviously he can cross, shoot and dribble better at the conclusion.

I still think Alex Sandro sees the bigger picture here, and that he'll get 25 appearances this year. He respects and wants to learn from Evra, he said as much, but also that long term he's going to be the #1 choice for Juve.

with him as wingback I actually prefer the 3-5-2. I prefer not to see Morata or Dybala on the flank.

He played as TQ today when Lemina came on.

 

[Vlad]

Khedira played as b2b mid and that role suits him. Clearly not a TQ type of player and rather silly suggestion to field him there. Asymetrical 352/433 is the way to go, with Cuad working the right flank.

It has been a joy to watch how he skips past his markers. Pretty much unstoppable.

I guess I was wrong about this player

Cats cool as the other side of the pillow

I think he will be benched once we have an available midfield of Marchisio, Khedira, Pogba, Lemina, Pereyra and Hernanes. Asamoah too.

I think that you are wrong.... Why the hell would Cuadrado be benched when Marchisio returns? Hernanes plays on Marchi's position not Cuadrado. Hernanes and Lemina will be benched and used for rotation and formation purposes. Cuadrado is life atm

Totally agree with this .

 

[Hust]

Disagree. We need him to get the ball because he pulls defenders away freeing up space for our other players. What Cuadrado needs to improve on is delivering the attacking players better balls and when to do it. He does an amazing job creating space for himself and pulling defenders to him like gravity, we need to take advantage of it.

[Ahmed]

when he gets his final ball down he will be unstoppable, already so damn good.

 

[Rollie]

That's what Allegri was talking about. Once his understanding of his teammates' movement, and his passing improve, he's going to be a force.

And he's clearly been one of our best players this season.
