fully. i can't wait to see it again :tuttosport:

of course not. that's the most wtf thing of the last 10 years, worse than padoin as regista vs roma or sarri's experimenting with everybody bar buffon at tq lol.

anyway, i hope we stick with the 4-2-3-1 and get a decent mid and 9 in january. i reckon we'd still be higher on the table if tek didn't have an inexplicable september, morata scored some sitters, and we could count on chiesa, dybala and even your chouchou mckennie.
To answer your question better, I would try Chiesa-Dybala-Cuadrado with McKennie or Kulu B2B to help Dybala in the box. Loca regista and one of the jabronis as the 3rd CM to hold a place.

All those players can press high except Dybala. Dybala just has to split the CBs and trigger it. And hopefully all the chances fall to Dybala and they go in the net. It's crazy that we complain about underperforming xG because of Kean/Morata. Just take them off the field then. Nobody on this forum would prefer the chances fall to them instead of Dybala.

any news on their health/availability tho

see, that's something what's fundamentally wrong this season. nothing works. ronaldo leaves, chiesa injured, dybala in and out with zero continuity, kulu stopped developing, kean has nothing to offer besides intensity, besides loca, the only usable cm is mckennie who started the season as a meh higuain impression then got injured right after he finally hit form, danilo injured, mds proving to be decisive twice then injured, etc. all those injures man. it might be a max thing which is more annoying than rabiot at lw lol

4-3-3 without kean/morata would be nice, but dybala always performed the best when he had someone else (higuain, morata, mandzu, even cr) to directly fight the cb's for long balls. he can't play with his back to the goal. and i really don't need to see a jabroni.

my bottom line is that using rabiot at any position is a mistery, i give you that. same goes for dropping the 4-4-2 too late. other than that, it's been a way too bumpy ride.

Rabiot was singled out by Allegri in the training yesterday because he wasn't following the instructions given by the coach and was casual in his attitude.(Gianni Balzarini)
Makes my blood boil that this bum is one of the highest paid, one of the worst on the pitch, getting booed and still slacks off in training.

Beyond help.

Him getting slapped with the ball will be my fondest memory of him here. 'Nuff said.

Culture! Ours is fucked. And it's the most important thing in any organisation.

Off field and on field, as a club we are a mess. And the fact that agnelli has let it get to this, even pre covid, is fucking shameful.

We were flying high then did a complete nose dive in the space of a couple of years.

Brazilians have enough evidence on their own, don't throw french garbage in their backyard too

Specially with Paul and Dembele almost there too

Wow. First watched All or nothing, which was just a joke. I'll never forget the "dramatic scene" of Nedved and Fabio in the corridor with the "we need a striker! we need a striker! like, yesterday". Like they think we needed that scene because people were watching Days of our lives. One of so many scenes that just wreaked of distaste. If anything, my trust in the management was reduced. A hard thing to accomplish when you own the narrative. The dressing room smells foul all the way through my TV screen. Dybala hiding, like the vice captain he is. Like the rest of the squad. Bonucci just yelling. No progressive speeches, problem solving or winning attitudes. Just looser attitudes and negativity. Understandable but at some point, after three years of it not working, someone has to change that culture. I understand we see an ever so small glimpse. But they chose those glimpses and that matters too.
Then I watched Bayern's documentary. The rather boring success story, but the differences are universes apart. It felt like I had just watched Napoli's documentary. Here, again, we see what they want us to see obviously. Bayern are having issues behind the scenes not visible here, still everyone could put formulated thoughts together. Didn't really see that before. I guess comparison would be Fabio's "you need a plan a, plan b, plan c, plan d, plan e........" in one scene, and then watch them go mental over not having any plans. Glad at least that they didn't put in that "Morata was always our first choice" in the story, like they used to say.

Edit: Just want to add that my feeling was always that Hasan had sort of like a Nedved role. Does seem like he has more influence than I thought. No power or lot of it, he does seem to actually contribute to the club. Nedved always feels like that annoying kid everyone wants out.

from his press conference earlier today:
- arthur served his punishment
- ramsey still unavailable
- dybala wants to play, doctors say nah, no need to risk, we'll see whether he's available for cagliari
- danilo and chiesa are recovering but still out
- kulu available, not for full 90 minutes tho
- locatelli in doubt, other mids are fully available
- sandro played a lot, there's an other game next week, we'll see
- cuadrado can play rw or rb, it all depends on mds's condition
- morata and one of kean and kaio will play up front ( @MikeM gonna love it especially if kean plays alongside morty lol)
- must score more, bologna is difficult, bla-bla

also, this is a nice find:

Max Allegri:

“The team has trained hard this week, Chiesa is recovering well, Dybala will not be available. He hasn’t trained with the team. Kulusevski doesn’t have 90 minutes in him yet. Today we’ll see how Locatelli is doing. #BolognaJuve
“I’ll decide who will start in attack between Morata, Kaio Jorge and Kean. Alex Sandro? He is competing with Pellegrini for the left back spot, I’ll assess who’ll start In Bologna. Kaio Jorge is growing, he played well in Venice.
“Cuadrado? Can play both in the full back and winger role. He’ll also be assess ahead of the match in Bologna. I’ll decide if he’ll start. We want to end 2021 well, we have two games left, we want to be ready going into 2022.
“Aaron Ramsey? He still has a flexor problem and hasn’t recovered. He isn’t available.”

Yet he continues to play him. Just accept that he will never become a useful player, sell him asap.

4th place is getting out of reach, start investing in the guys who have a future here. I rather see us losing with Miretti than getting a draw with Rabiot.
