How much would he cost? Can't remember...

Incredibly frustrating but his ability to win free-kicks all over the place or take a pass right against the touchline with a defender on him and still come out of it with the ball are very useful to relieve pressure.

He seems to have a knack of scoring important goals too.

Great acquisition

It will be an even better foreiture when he goes back to Stamford Bridge

 

[Bianconero_Aus]

Great signing. Perfect player to unlock stubborn defences.

The goal today was so huge, had me fist pumping like crazy in the dark.

Sure, the pass from Alex Sandro was sublime, but Cuads actually hit the net for a change! YESSSSS!

One of our best again, even if standout performances weren't exactly on the menu today.

He's obviously a good player to have but how much are we taking here?

I liked the 20m paid the Beppe's way in several years.

 

[DUKAC]

He is a must against garbage town rats.

Imo this was his best game so far. He's getting better everyday, he's improving his finishing a lot, a little more and he's gonna be a real great player to watch, Max can do it

Yeah I liked him a lot in this game. Defensively he's as good as you are going to get for a natural attacker, flair and fancy player like that, plus he's very mobile and tricky. He also seems to be favoured by referees, getting free-kicks for very little a lot of the time. With very fast players that can happen. Unless you are called Milos and refs have it in for your team.

He's so quick. Quicker on the ball than most players are without it lol. Great weapon to use against these shitty provinciali teams who sit back and foul/spoil a game.

His biggest disadvantage is losing the ball, sometimes he dribbles in unfit situations. He can afford it at smaller teams, but if you do this against stronger opponents, we will sureley get a counter-attack in a few seconds.

One annoying thing about Cuadrado is he cuts in (with and without the ball) WAY too much. He's better nearer the touchline vs a single prey. The width and penetration he provides on the flank when he positions himself there is better for our team. Saw Sturaro and Pereyra out wide with Cuadrado in the middle way too many times vs Frosinone.

He isn't the next krasic who can only do one thing... The fact that he cuts inside that often is because it works almost all the time

 

[Red]

Works in what sense?

He retains the ball, but all he is doing in wandering into congestion.

He would be much more threatening if he'd go on the outside and smash the ball across in the way Alex Sandro is inclined to.

It's not like he's got a left foot, so cutting in isn't even going to get him a chance to get a decent shot away.

Cuadrado cutting in sometimes makes him less predictable and keeps the defense guessing everytime he's in that position. When he cuts in he usually looks for a short pass into the box and makes the run back again on the outside/behind their fullback.

But that exact play also depends on the player receiving that ball, against Frosinone it was Dybala and they both were too hesitant in those situations which made it ineffective.

Cuadrado cutting in is a must for both him and our team. The offensive game on that side will be figured out way too easy otherwise.

 

[Red]

I'm not suggesting he should do any one thing all the time.

But it took him over an hour against Frosinone to try to use his primary strength and what makes him most useful to Juve.

That seems very odd to me.

 

[TheTruth]

He should improve his left foot. He looks for the quick 1-2 pass and the run when he cuts in due to lack of confidence in his crossing with his left. When Sandro cuts in he can actually cross with his right, as we saw with that wonderful opportunity he created which Sturaro badly missed.
