Paolo De Ceglie (40 Viewers)

He needs to leave this club sooner or later. As y'all pointed out, limited is a word that describes this guy perfectly. Frustrating is another word that comes to mind. And unlike the usual way around here, I say this after a "good" performance and not a crap one.

He's fine as cheap backup.

The problem is that Juve have so many injuries, the backup players have to be used a lot, which exposes their limitations.

I thought he played well. It's nice to have him at LB rather at mid because he has a lot of energy and can push forward making him a headache to mark.

 

[JuveJay]

There's nothing wrong with crossing the ball into a good area rather than trying to pick out a particular player.

Yes, but a lot of the time early on it wasn't into what I would call a good area, like anywhere near our one striker.

 

[Rollie]

De Ceglie had a pretty good game... he has some decent pace, which we're definitely in need of. At this point in time, he's sometimes a little too fast for his own good. Doesn't have the ball control to match his pace, is what I'm saying...

Wouldn't it be nice if he had a decent right foot. DC might be the most one footed player I've ever seen... and yes I'm exaggerating, but it's one of his glaring limitations...

His crosses weren't that good

A better LB than Grosso last match, hope he can keep it together.

but by pace you surely do not mean acceleration, do you ?

i saw many situations where he was just to slow to actually gain pace to even have the slightest chance not to be outrun and he does not seem to be athletic at all.

don't get me wrong. i don't say he cant run ... it doesn't look like an athlete running but more like pinocchio running with a wooden stick in his ass

and when i like someone run with something up their ass it better be someone like this

His acceleration isn't great, as you mentioned (especially from a full stop), but once he's got a bit of room to 'wind it up', as it were, he's got some decent pace. The problem with that though, as I mentioned above, is that when he increases his speed, his control suffers greatly.

I completely agree - he is by no means a fluid runner. Awkward is definitely the word...

 

[Elvin]

Damn, is that Jessica Simpson. Gave me major wood.

 

[Ken]

It indeed is Jessica Simpson.

And yes, PDC runs like a retard, but like you said he's quite fast. It's a shame he doesn't have a better touch, he's just a really limited player. Decent to have as a back up, but he should by no means be a part of our midfield as a starter.

And I'm afraid that's exactly what Zac's got in mind with his 3-4-1-2.

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

We should exploit his and Ekdal's good looks and get some Chinese players for marketing purposes.

Thats interesting because one of his assists last season was a very good cross to Amauri with his right foot.

Sure you don't mean the one with his left, from the right?

 

[X Æ A-12]

Im pretty sure that cross was left footed but regardless DC's right foot is not that bad. I can understand the criticism he receives in certain areas but his weak foot ability is not one of them

 

[JuveJay]

I seem to remember a right foot assist actually.

 

[The Curr]

It really amazes me that someone picked that out as one of DC's main weaknesses. He has plenty but that's not one of the big ones.

If this is the goal in question than it was clearly a left footed cross
