He's a huge loss. Morata's work rate is nothing compared to Mandzu's and Mandzu can really bully defenders that's something Morata also can't do. Well hopefully Morata's pace will give them problems.

Nah, not even close :D
Alvaro puts in work. COme on now. We've all seen it

And if not Alvaro, then Zaza.

We KNOW what kind of work that fucking maniac puts in :lol:


Either way, we are covered.


A lot better than some 3rd or 4th striker options than we have had in the past

I'll wait to see how Morata backs up in the next week or two before I start worrying about Bayern. Even if Morata is in top form by then, we'll miss Mandzukic's harass and tackle. That tackle he made in his own half, when he got back to his feet to run with the ball against Inter was considerably tits. He's more dominant than Morata in the air as well. Mandzukic - Dybala seems like a more balanced pair.

But I've got high hopes for a confident and prolific Morata. The boy loves kickin a sausage. We need to let he and Dybala gel. Morata will have to play differently than he does with Mandzukic and Zaza. Meaning less time in the channels trying to whip a cross in and more time trying to get on the end of them.

Maybe near to Mandzu but not the same .And Mandzu got that streetwise instinct which helps him a lot about positioning and scoring.
I understand that. I never meant to say that he had the EXACT amount of workrate, but neither Alvaro or Simone will ever be confused with a lazy striker. Those 2 young men give an all out effort every time.

This is why I am not worried.

Zaza has the workrate but the link up play of Mandzu is ten times better. Mandzu offers a very specific skill set in the same packet. Morata will start and he has the tools to pose a different kind of threath.

We have to press the fuck out of the Bayern CBs. They are always prone to mistakes trying to pass their way out of trouble. Mandy would have been ideal, because he's a sneaky fuck who knows when to do what. Can't blame Morata or Zaza for effort though. They'll try and make up that presence. Especially Zaza coming off the bench will be a great plus.

Mandzukic: "I'll be out 3-4 weeks. I will give 100% to get back as soon as possible. I'll be the biggest fan of Juventus to continue the winning streak"

Hey, could be worse :D

Thank goodness it's not Buffon, any of our back 3, Licht, Claudio or Pogs or Dybala. Those guys are more irreplaceable
Yeah, those are more vital for us and I'd be more worried if some of them would miss Bayern games. Let's hope Morata rediscovers his last year's form.
