Miralem Pjanić (38 Viewers)

[Kopanja]

Who would you realistically replace him with, but you cannot answer Vidal ?

Pjanic needs more freedom, it means that we need someone to take a big bulk of defensive functions, Lemina imo is able to do it. So far in this case we have Marhicsio as anchor, Lemina in front of him and Pjanic as mezzala somewhere near (I still believe it's his best position, because of the long and quick vertical passing he is very good at). To make this thing work we need quasi AM like that great drunken indio was (god we miss him, jigsaw will fall into place with him just perfect). For some reason I believe Benfica time Witsel is capable of doing it – he doesn't need to invent anything, play simple, win aerial battles and one-two with Pjanic-Dybala-Higuain. But whoever plays there needs good engine, not sure Witsel has it.

Coudnt Agree more with you 3.

We do this and w will be a different team.

Khedira needs to go, really.

I really don't don't understand this sudden reversal on Khedira. The guy is class on his day. Might be slow in speed but his footballing intelligence keeps him one step ahead of the others when he is in form.

He came as a freebie is not really a financial drain. He is a very solid midfielder to boot and can score goals in the box.

Khedira stays.

best solution ever?
buy back Vidal and Pogba
Cuadrado-Barzagli-Bonucci-Alex Sandro
--------Vidal-Marchisio-Pogba
---------------Pjanic
----------Dybala-Higuain

That's a tean that could win a champions league.
The best thing is that was possible but we gave it away.

It's not about selling Khedira or even being bad (tho he has been poor for too long) but about if it came to choosing between him and Pjanic in 3 man midfield, then defenitely the latter over Sami. And it may come to that because they are both slow and not much of ball winners so it's a mismatch balance wise. To get the best out of the superior player between them you might need to eventually give Khediras spot to a player who adds more steel and dynamic aggression to the mix. Can't be alone in thinking that it may come to that?


Khediras flaws or defensive effort is more exposed this season without the physically and work rate that Pogba added. Now Khedira plays instead with Pjanic who has the physical presence of an ugly duckling and you notice much more Khedira is more about runs into the box then anything else right now.

Spot on.

Yet, for some reason, Khedira has good defensive stats in FIFA 17.

 

[Osman]

It won't.

There is no one good enough to oust Khedira in our current depth, unless Lemina improves alot suddenly, but if we buy such a player in summer could see it happen for sure.

Pratically this.

Him and Pjanic cannot play together against serious midfields. We are missing a player like Vidal so much, and Khedira is not the answer. he is not bad...but our team could be miles better with a dynamo that helps in the muscle and recovering department. Having pjanic and Khedira in the same team is too weak

Juventus has another stint of a Diego case in their hands.

I wish we could try out Pjanic behind Amauri in a 442/4411 with Jorge Martinez on the flank, and Momo sending through balls from the deep.

Always loved that guy. Limited, but a warrior @Fr3sh

Except Pjanic is not an AM that can't work in 4-4-2 like Del Neri played (attack with Ale there as SS wasn't prolly considered) , Pjanic more usable in midfield for a coach . I liked Diego, wishes he stayed longer but bad timing.


But yeah I understand the comparison with Diego still, similar vibe of showing flashes but maybe not being up to being the go to guy for Juve. Major difference is ofcourse Pjanic comes to monstrously dominating and consistent Juve era, while Diegos changed management twice while he was there, and coaches like 3 times? Basically super easy to become collateral damage in such a scenario.

While current Juve can't even give up on a hopeless Asamoah, I fail to see them being impatient with Pjanic in any way ala Diego situation.

I liked Momo way more then Fresh did, I miss him despite his wrecking ball clumsiness and allergi to the ball, he seriously kept Roma and Napoli midfields at the time in check all by himself with his all reaching tentacle legs.
