Dybala is $#@!ing great, lay off him ffs.

There are so many problems in the team right now, Paulo is not one of them. Our attack has 3 new players, give them time. If Dybala is bad what can you say about Mandzukic?
Three players that can't really play together unless Cuadrado is playing as a wingback. Because it's obvious that Morata doesn't want to be a winger, and Dybala can't be a a lone centerforward. Before people try to say he did that at Palermo. He sort of did, but Vazquez was always just in behind him, and the teams he faced at Palermo didn't defend in huge numbers like they do against us.

It's sad the management didn't get a quality AM. Dybala and Morata with an quality AM behind them would be a totally different animal

So far he's been good and tonight was a difficult game and he still tried to make things happen, didn't lose the ball often and showed good positional awareness.

Allegri tried him in a more central role but the truth is he's no Messi and we're no Barcelona, his frame is too fragile to play in that role for Juve in Serie A.

Even Tevez needed a big striker in front of him to knock down headers and play with his back to goal.

His touch was god awful at times. Not controlling simple passes You'd expect better for a player with his skill. But he did well on other occasions. Any attacker who tried to take some initiative, Dybala included, found themselves completely isolated. There was little support for reasons I'd have to watch the game again to understand. So, Dybala did well to dribble his way out in those instances.

Oh and great dummy for the first goal of course.

Don't concern yourself with that sort of stuff, potential makes up for it.

He had two shots where he just missed the box as well. And had a fantastic dribble and pass in the 58th minute to Pogba in the centre of the box which Pogba put straight at the keeper. His first touch was awful today, and his set piece deliveries poor (though his corners were decent, half of them anyways), but he really wasn't that bad... Made some nice passes, nice dribbles, and a couple decent shots. Not a good game, but not terrible.

I adore Dybala as my posts would show, but he's looking really poor right now. His crosses and freekicks were better today thankfully, but his first touch and his movement were poor.

Also, Allegri is in a difficult spot. I don't think he sees Dybala as a winger which I agree with, and Dybala can't be a centerforward in a 433. So I think the only formation that suits Dybala is 4312. However, 4312 doesn't work if you have someone as useless as Hernanes as the AM. So unless Allegri wants to play Pogba in the hole I can see Dybala being benched soon. Especially once Pereyra is back because I think he and Cuadrado will play as wingers with Mandzukic or Morata as the CF

I'm beginning to see Allegris stand on the Dybala issue. He may well be vindicated come the end of the season, if he's allowed to handle Dybala in the way he sees fit. He's not off about his judgement IMO.

It's not surprising that he was right. He's still too raw. He shouldn't have had to deal with this sort of pressure during his first season at a big club at that age. Fiasco.
