Just finished watching the West Ham match.

Wow, this guy was a creative spark when he got the ball. I echo the thoughts of others. I'm excited to see how Allegri uses him. He gives us an interesting dimension for sure.

He played like how I was expecting cuadrado to play, but actually succeeds in passing and take ons. He looks like such a sleeper signing, I am really excited to see more of him :tup:

See guys! If he is creative,has pace, strenght, flairfancy and a good shot..he must be the new CAM!!. @allegri

If Allegri used Vidal as a CAM, I dont see how Piazza canot be used as one.

I don't see how this guy will play unless he can play SS and CAM or even CM.

The only winger formation we can use is Pjaca-Higuain-Dybala.

We don't even have a backup for Dybala. I'm sure Pjaca will get a chance there.

442? we used that formation with Pogba on the left, now we put Pjaca there instead. Alves or Pereyra on the right. he will also get playing time as the AM/SS in 4312, SS in 352

A 4-4-2 with Alves at RM and Lichtsteiner at RB will probably just morph into a 3-5-2 anyways.

but in that case Pjaca would be the LCM right? but when i think about it, when Asamoah and Alex Sandro played together last season, AS used to stay more centrally allowing Asa to go wide at times. maybe it could work with Pjaca too :boh:

Could he be our replacement for pogba? He's a pretty tall guy, and from what I hear he is creative as well. Could he replicate pogbas physicality and creativity on the pitch? How is he defensively?

I'm sure we'll see Pjaca higher up the pitch. Pjaca-Higuain-Dybala is not that outlandish when we need goals. Dybala already drifts to the right quite often.

But for Pjaca to get consistent time it would have to be as CAM or ST. Because I don't see how often we'd play a 4-3-3 or 4-4-2 even if we wanted to.

He can be deployed as an AM or SS. He will get his fair share of games, and will be important in cup matches, so expect him to make the difference in the Coppa and CL fixtures when he comes on.
