I think he played well today. I am in love with his quickness. He closes like a missile... but then he can't stop always.

This guy is a complete idiot and I'm not even talking about the red card.

He gives the ball away heaps and is stupidly rash and aggressive.

Every time he sees the ball, he just charges at it at 100mph, with no regard given to whether it is appropriate to make a challenge.

He makes Zebina look like a calm, considered, sensible player.

Can't believe that Barca have actually paid 15 mil for this guy. Absalutely a joke the way he plays.....

This is true and this makes him the worst defender i've ever seen in Juve, and i've seen lots of them.

I am not exaggerating. You don't even need to follow football to realize that what he's doing is wrong. I'd understand if the ball was red, because he's as stupid as a bull, but the ball is not red and he's still running full speed at it, no matter where the ball is. His timing is awful. Actually, he has absolutely no sense for it.
Yeah, when it works, it's good for the eye. With his speed he can get first to the ball very often. But as a defender he needs to minimize his bad decisions and since his decision is to always run at full speed to get the ball, he'll be late very often (because he decides to run for the ball even in situations when there is 0% chance to get it) and even if he's late only 3 times out of 10, those three times will cost his team dearly. Either he'll leave all the space in the world for the opponent (he can't control himself when he runs so fast, so he can't stop and run back), or he'll catch opponent's leg and get a red card.

What's amazing is that he keeps doing it. There is absolutely no chance that the coaches he worked with didn't tell him that what he's doing is very wrong and that they didn't try to teach him how to defend. They surely told him all this.
So, since he keeps doing it, the only conclusion is that he's extremely stupid.

I thought he was more level-headed with Barca, but ever since he's came here, it looks like he's gone berserk.

Too bad.

how many of our distinguished panel tonight has actually seen the game, he was one of uruguay's best players second only to pereira. His career at juve consists of what? 2 games? he might very well be crap but hes not been around long enough to cement that crap into a label

I totally agree. Besides the fact that when the regulars are fit he will be just a backup player anyway. If you criticize, then criticize those actually play regularly. This guy is still a kid.


Although having said that, i am not too sure we should buy him when his loan deal ends. :shifty:

I've seen the game but it has very little to do to do with yesterday's game. I saw him only 5-6 times but no matter if he was playing for Barca, Juve or Uruguay, he was always doing that same mistake Red talked about.

5-6 matches are enough.
If a keeper has great reflexes and saves some tough balls, but keeps mistiming his runs during corner kicks and free kicks in all 5 matches you've watched that keeper, does it make him a good keeper or an awful keeper who'll cost you at least a goal every match?

You know, there are bad South American players too. You don't need to be the lawyer of all of them.
