Imagine the butt hurt Dusan will go through :D
Not really.

IMO Pogba is a better player and I'm glad we got him here. I hope he gets as much play time as possible and proves how good he is (especially to those that try so hard to find his weaknesses). I still believe he's just too good and it will be too hard to rejects bids for him in a year or two. He's a future super star, simple as that.

since you rate ferguson so highly, let me present you this argument:

ronaldo was pretty inconsistent in his first 2.5 years in manu. in fact many manu fans were calling for his sale, saying he was all flair and no end prduct. then boom he explodes into the player he is. but it is mainly due to fergie playign him every match.

same must apply here.
Easy to say about a "man utd winger" or forwad. They hold close to no tactical responsibility or liability.
Pogba played more then 30 games last year, thats very good.

The fact he's first sub, gives him +30 games each year. Especially with our physically very demanding playstyle.

The important part is keeping the pressure of him, and dont let him get ahead of himself just yet, keep his mindset on that he is the substutute with all to prove.
It will bring out the best in Pogba.

Really Lion, this isnt a Marrone who didnt play a single game in his natural position we are talking about. It will be fine.


Conte is handeling this perfectly. Like Fergusson did with Ronaldo, as you pointed out.


THE major concern of every juventus fan, would be if we can actually keep him to see him become our best midfielder since Zidane/Nedved.
He's Ballon d'or potential. I just fear he'll do the neccecary thing of moving to spain since thats the only way to actually win the fucking thing

Only way he will start is if conte can come up with a system that uses both. Other wise marchisio it is.
:disagree: :rolleyes: And you know this because?! :howler: Stop assuming shit as you are not Conte.

There are enough games to suggest that both will get enough opportunities. Pogba is too good to ride the bench for a substantial period of time, and Marchisio is not untouchable as some seem to think. Moreover, Pirlo will be needing significant rest as the season progresses (at least that is how I feel), that in certain games both Pogba and Marchisio will be starting and Pirlo will be rested (Conte even alluded to this, stating that Pogba can play the Pirlo role).

A fit marchisio will allways play.

However, this midfield puts big physical requirements on the players , so Pogba will get 30 games/year with ease

Was poor for the first 60 minutes or so and then started to get into the thick of things. Fizzled out again towards the end of the game. Very average overall. Hopefully he'll be back to his good form in the next game.

Tough game for Paul, really should have had that goal early on -- probably would have energized him.

Did step up, and get a bit more involved in the second half, but we need more out of Pogba.

Edit: and the rest of the midfield. and the defence. and the attack. and better management.

Shit game.

That was one of his worst performances in a Juventus jersey. His first half was horrendous, his first ~15 mins or so it seemed like his only purpose was to unnecessarily foul the Copenhagen players, and one of those fouls lead to their goal.

Was probably our best midfielder last night.
Nope, he was slightly better than Vidal, but Pirlo was our best CM last night...not by a great distance though.
