Only scores tap-ins that he accidentally gets into place for. Doesn’t add anything else. Only walks around the pitch. Burden to the team. Like playing with one less player on the pitch. It’s entirely his fault our 3 CMs couldn’t control the centre of the pitch.

sell to China for first decent offer.

That's why i believe for making up midfield problems we should add another player there and let Dybala be closer to the goal.

Those 2 games against man United showed us we are better with one extra man in the middle.

I don't have anything against Manzo. He is my favorite player in the team and i think he is doing great, but i prefer another approach in the CL.

What are you talking about? We played 3 CMs today. You want us to play with 4 CMs? :shifty:

Nope. Play dybala instead of him and bring in one of Cuad/Berna. Dybala is much more mobile than him. And can control the the ball and pass it in tight spaces.

We would become muche better in controlling the ball and distrbuting it.
Dybala is actually a very poor passer imo. Doesn’t have much vision for picking out final passes for some reason.

He definitely adds something more in terms of mobility and dribbling.

But as things currently stand, he doesn’t provide enough interplay and understanding with his teammates to make benching Mario worthwhile so as to play him as a false 9.

He didn’t work with Higuain, he didn’t work with Morata, and so far he doesn’t work very well with Ronaldo.

Funnily enough his best partner in attack has been Mandzu, especially when Dybala played beside him in a front 2 as an SS.

Rather terminate contract and fine 2 weeks wages AFTER he leaves club

Dybala switches play very well but getting that killer pass not so much

Had me laughing. For such a talented and technical guy his first touch is an absolute eyesore. He regulary struggles when he has to control the ball in tight spaces.

People calling me out, without knowing for what lol. Every time Mandzukic taps it in, it's proving me wrong or something haha. Calm down. We are not celebrating like apes every time Pjanic makes a simple successful pass. These goals are to be expected.
I was quite spot on once again, even if you don't like it. I didn't like our lineup, playing with 3 strikers in random fashion, without Costa or Cuadrado, is not a good idea. But Ronaldo will eventually create a goal for us.

And what happened..

So much frustration to see in the match thread. People simply surprised that the attack wasn't working and how come we played like shit and why we were so predictable, as was being said.

These things were never said in such degree when we had been playing with wingers (with or without Mandzukic), as those games we dominated from start to finish, playing to our strengths and everyone doing their job.

This place is really becoming toxic with all the no lifers bashing everyone who has a different opinion than them . This should be addressed by the admins .
And yes ,Mandzuukic had a really bad game despite his goal ,I mean ,it was so obvious he couldn't connect anything in this game ,but no lifers keep riding him hard .

Retards didn't even watch the match. :lol:

Mandzukic scored the only goal. Who the fuck cares if it was a tap-in. Guess what, he made the run, lost his man, and got open to be on the end of that perfect pass from Ronaldo.

Mandzukic also led the team in tackles, with 5 tackles. Led the team in aerial duels won with 3. And he had 2 interceptions. And 1 key pass.

What a terrible game, really bad, he offered nothing besides his goal. :baus:

almost like some of them weren't watching Juventus before this summer.

:agree:

I'm still a little confused as to why it's a bad thing to have a CF who can both score the winning goal and lead the team in successful tackles in a must-win CL match.

You dont usually listen to the stats. Now once you see a fluke incident, you choose stats. How selective, how convenient. We can look at the overall stats, no problem.

Btw its fine playing with him as a tank, no one is complaining about that, as he after Ronaldo is the only one we got. But if he doenst get perfect support, then he is our most useless player.

What would be really great would be if someone spent some time gathering Mandzukic' touches on the ball, from his games this season. It would be a short video, dont worry. And we could more easily see how much he actually contributes. Maybe a job for Juvenann, instead of just pics, win win.
However noone seem to ever create those videos with Mandzukic, even if he is a balon d'or candidate and popular striker.

Stats eh... like 7 goals-2 assists in 1046 minutes this season.

Pretty terrible ratio of a goal or assist every 116 minutes.

Important goals against Valencia, Napoli(x2), Milan, Lazio. Our most important matches so far this season he has played in (missed the matches against ManU).

3rd highest rated Juve player in the silly whoscored ratings based on stats (behind only Ronaldo and Cancelo).

Very mediocre. :baus:
