Paulo Dybala (210 Viewers)
- Thread starter Dostoevsky
- Start date
If both him and Cuadrado are out, we're definitely gonna struggle against Spurs offensively. Add Matuidi missing to the mix, and I'd gladly take a 0-0 or 1-1 at this point. Too many influential players missing. I sincerely hope all three will be ready for the return leg, so we can go there and put a clinic like we did against Dortmund in 2015.
Marchisio's health, now more than ever, is of utmost importance. I really hope Allegri rests him, or gives him 15-20 minutes max against Fiorentina, in preparation for the Spurs tie.

I feel a 0-0 won't be such a terrible result, but I have a feeling it'll end 1-1.
Don't worry, by tuz' logic we have the second coming of ADP/Baggio in Bernardeschi. 
Who needs Dybala or Cuadrado or even Costa when is obvious that Federico will outplay Spurs in the same manner as he did against Sassuolo.

Did you ever label him as the second coming of ADP or Baggio? If not, than no, anyway i didnt have one specific person in mind when i posted, more or less it was aimed at those overhyping every move he made against the Sassuolo's and Benevento's of this world...
I won't even get into the subject of bashing other crucial/decisive players just in order to praise him, that's another lame story, one that i already made my point about in Federico's thread.
Praising him is alright because he is indeed a great player, but he obviously needs to grow before people start thinking he will single handed outplay Tottenham or the likes as he did with Sassuolo, i hate overpraising/overhyping too early because if he won't score or assist for a game or two the usual experts on tuz won't waste a second before bashing him and calling him a flop, high expectations usually lead to dissapointments, as impressed as i am with his overall development so far i still rather stay balanced and aware that he is not the finished article yet while mentally he clearly lacks something by not being a 'champion' in the true sense of the word just yet, Allegri is aware of this and that is most probably why he been slowly integrating him, as pressure less as possible.
Anyway, one way or another he will play a crucial role in the next couple of weeks and as everyone else ofc i hope he puts in the display of a lifetime, because on this occasion it really matters, this upcoming high pressure challenges will be the real test for him.

And to go back on topic because afterall this is Dybala's thread, i just hope he will be fit to at least come in as a sub against Spurs, his impact from the bench could be crucial!
Hopefully this aswell! :xfinger:

Nope :wink:
I compared him to James Rodriguez, which is still a very high bar to be fair.
Paulo will come on as a substitute and score the winner I can feel it in my bones.

We all hope so, i also think that this injury/time off could prove to be beneficial for Dybala, he might come back even stronger mentally!
Yes, i can't say i disagree with this statement as rightly so they both do have similarities, but nonetheless it remains to be seen how well Bernardeschi will fare and if he is really ready to cope with all the pressure that this crucial part of the season usually brings. Obviously, we all certainly hope that he will prove hisself crucial. :xfinger:
