And we could have gotten Bacca for Mandzu+Zaza

Really disappointing from Mario in this game. I was expecting a workhorse who would be terrorising defences with his workrate. What happened?

 

[Hydde]

People getting mad at Cronios but he is right that so far mandz has been poor as a striker Whetevr this guy did in the past doesnt count right now.

The reality is that we bought a 19 million guy who is not working at all in this team. If he was the answer to tevez, we failed royally.

"he has never been prolific and is a great workshorse"...it seem he was...and if he cant add anything to our play and cant finish...he was a mistake.

About what i said earlier... yeh i dont like this dude. If he cant finish, why he is here?.

 

[Ocelot]

Horribly game really.

 

[catch22]

This team succeeded so well last season due to the well-roundedness of Tevez and Morata, but now Allegri apparently wants to rely on one dimensional strikers like Zaza and Mandzukic? I personally think bringing on a towering presence like Mandzukic late in matches when the team needs a goal is a fantastic idea, but expecting to win titles with a player as limited as this guy is unrealistic. Especially without a lot of creative talent behind him or on the wings.

 

[Van Helsing]

some peoples didn't understand yet. he is a good header, nothing more. if you have Mandzukic you need good players/wingers who can create something but this team different and not suits him. I still don't understand why we signed him.

We field him and let Pogba shoot

we are really clueless...

 

[Xperd]

We play terrible when he's on the pitch.

Too early but I think this signing is looking like a mistake more so than Zaza all aspects considered.

 

[Bianconero81]

Llorente and even Amauri were better players for us, up until this point at least. Never really liked Mnadzukic and forwards of his ilk, and his performances have left a lot to be desired. He doesn't deserve to be starting, and should probably be 4th choice behind Zaza as well. He is living off his reputation at this point.

 

[Nenz]

I don't really blame him for playing badly. He didn't get any service from the wings. There wasn't a whole lot of creativity behind him either. Ultimately, he shouldn't play next to Morata but only as Morata's back up. He was better against city but that was in more of a 4-3-3 with better service (i.e: Pogba assist) and City weren't parking the bus.

Well he isn't fit. And then he is also short of confidence.

Obviously Allegri has to include him at some point, because he isn't going to get fitness or form sitting on the bench, but I don't think a CL game is straight after returning from injury is really the right moment.

Well that's not what Cronios posted, what he posted was a bunch of incorrect information presented as fact. And the timing? When everyone is angry. Ring any bells?

 

[X Æ A-12]

I don't think he's the problem. The guy's not going to create shit, we knew that before signing him, but provide him with some actual service tho and he'll score.

Partnering him with Morata though just seems silly

You nailed it.

We play totally uninspired when he is on the pitch. This juventus from the conte era do not play with crosses. it has never has been our forte. We need creative CF or skilled SSs. Mandzu and Zaza are surpluses already

 

[Cheesio]

Now people realize that this signing wasn't logical at all. Mediocre player that doesn't suit the type of football we want to play.

 

[Turk_Bianconero]

He painfully lacks skill, that was obvious but he can't even control the ball nowadays. We might still sell him for around 10 million if he scores like 10 goals.

 

[Siamak]

he can give us take advantage of corner kicks if we need to scoring goal by header

 

[JuveID]

I don't think he's the problem. The guy's not going to create $#@!, we knew that before signing him, but provide him with some actual service tho and he'll score.

Morata created two good cross for him.

So can Luca Toni and he doesn't cost 21 million euros. Llorente could do that as well, the one we gave away for free.

many of teams play with a forward and behind of him with strikers and midfielders like bayern real barca

there is no reason prefer Mandzukic or Zaza over dybala the best solution is to start Dybala and morata It does mean that mandzu, Zaza, both of them are a bit redundant and just use one of them as sub for second half
