Higuain and Dybala are in different situations. With Higuain you could probably question his weight and effort. And possibly attribute that to his struggles. Although for me, it's still a tenuous connection.

With Dybala, I don't think we can question his effort. So I don't know how benching him for 2 days will make him better. Will he try even harder?

The problem is he is not good enough technically to perform consistently. For example, every situation where his first touch should be with the right, he takes it with the left. So you could say maybe his success rate goes from 95% to only 10% with his left. Now some games he pulls it off time after time but eventually the poor fundamentals catch up to him and he will look bad.

He is not really made out to play as a CAM so he will go through stretches where his technique and decision making lets him down. I mean, has he ever been a player that passes when he should shoot? No. He always shoots. We knew that when we bought him. So he will inevitably go through a run of games every season where he will press the issue and sky balls from 30 yards when he should look to pass.

For example, he will receive a pass 35 yards from goal and there could be some combination with Higuain that he can play that is easier to complete. He could do that and no one would have a problem with him. But usually, and almost always, he will opt for a very, very difficult shot. Now at the beginning of the season it goes in the net and he is Messi. But it's an unsustainable play style. So these patches are inevitable. How does benching him fix it? I don't know. He hasn't changed the way he plays for almost 3 years now.

The difference, in Tuz logic, is that Higuain isn't a flashy player and he costed 90 mill., so he should just ride the bench (or go the fuck away). Dybala should be a regular starter, but a player like Bernadeschi has gotten so little playing time that it makes no sense starting Dybala in every single game - also against teams like Benevento.

@Klin - "It's no coincidence his playing like shit, when Matuidi is out injured." :seven:

My opinion won’t ever change that he should be much closer to the goal. He isn’t a maestro, he’s not built to be a classic 10. He can’t beat anyone on a basic run because he can’t properly control it without the ball moving 3 miles ahead of him. It’s like giving him the #10 has put the kind of pressure where he has to be the playmaker that does everything, drops deep and creates all forward plays.

IMO he really isn’t that. When I look at Dybala I see a less talented Romário. He’s good at close quarter dribbling and when closer to the goal hes got a good eye for hitting that spot on the right side of the keeper. I still think he would flourish and really reach his potential if he had an intelligent creative playmaker behind him.

But it was the same last season and this season, he started out great.

Actually Messi has scored most freekicks in top leagues past seasons. He decided to become expert at it and just mastered it.


Pjanic is statistically the more efficient taker past 4 seasons, but Messi his biggiest competition.



Cristiano is an embarrassment in comparison.

Ronaldo scores some absolute wicked freekicks and from 30 yards. Probably has a better all time hits youtube video, but his actual conversation rate is abysmal. Most of them just ballooned over.
