It's completely retarded that he isn't getting more game-time. The kid has scored three goals, and has created chances in every game. He even looked good in his minutes against City. Weird decisions by Allegri
If he's not starting at least every second match by the time the 4th CL group game rolls around, I'm going to be pissed about this.
Italian coaches are so often ridiculous about this stuff. They have a player who scores regularly and they bench him for a player who doesn't because they like some random off-ball/defensive contribution the other forward offers more.
We've seen it before. Conte benching Matri for Borriello through the winter that undefeated season. Allegri benching Morata for Llorente for the first 3 months last year. And now Dybala.
The game has evolved. Forwards who create chances and score are what is needed. I mean, the defensive/off-ball work is a great bonus, but if Dybala is scoring a goal every 80 minutes, like he is right now, I could care less if he stands around doing nothing while the opponent has the ball.
