He always gets the blame whenever the entire team plays like shit and he has to drop back into the midfield just to receive the ball.


Not his fault that our clown of a coach doesn’t know how to set up an attack. He can’t do everything himself.

Agreed. And despite him being younger I don't think he'll ever reach Aguero's level. People underrate Sergio as people even hardly mention his name when they talk about the big boys.
Aguero is one the big small boys. No doubt. A combination of injuries and a lack of European success keeps him from being mentioned among the best, but he is a world class striker. Him and Dybala should not be compared tho, they are very different.

Dybala is world class on his best days. It's all about consistency. He'll turn 25 this year. He can't hang his hat on being young anymore. Last night was clearly an attitude problem - liek the rest of the team. The kid walked around the pitch liek it was a training drill for the first 85 minutes. Allegri should have substituted him to send a signal, oh well.

That said Dybala is and will be a dominant players in Europe the next five years.

    I think it's all in the head and such things can't be changed. Mentally weak and inconsistant players always stay like that. Or if they change, it's quite rare, but more close to improbable. Now, it's not like Dybala shines in one match and then in the next one he's total garbage. He's always a threat, no doubt about that. But he lacks something to go on the next level and imo he won't get it. I believe he'll stay on this level +- some goals in the future. If anything, he will probably decide it's time to move to a next challange and move to some other team so he continues developing. It's a wild guess, but I don't think he'll make the cut in some other clubs. He'll be this Dybala that will shine and disappear, but CL chasing clubs like Real and Barca won't really tolerate that.

    Salah? De Bruyne? Hazard? Alexis? That's just four current Premier League examples of players that are performing remarkably different depending on system, manager, club and confidence.

    Your view on Dybala might hold true in the future, but I strongly disagree with your generalisation on inconsistent players, and I have no doubt Dybala will become a force in Europe; he is more feared among neutral fans than Higuain.

    Dybala has to perform better in Europe apart from the game against Barcelona last season he has been quite bad in most of the games.

    But overall as a player, he's Aguero tier. I agree with him.

    Aguero maybe a better goalscorer but he doesnt have the close control dribbling or the creativity of Dybala.


    Dybala has scored 17 in 23 in the league this season. I think we are being a littler harsh, also Auegro plays a far more attacking team.

    I keep on citing this, but Dybala is one of the very best goalscorer in Europe. He scores way more goals than he theoretically should based on the chances he gets.
    You wait until his next big goal in the CL, people will change their minds again.

    Some people are frustrated with him and that clouds their judgment. He's not done and it's not set in stone that he'll not become more consistent, he has the drive to succeed. Stranger things have happened in football like Robben breaking his curse, Salah improving in the PL, Drogba becoming the real deal in his mid twenties, etc.

    I can indeed see this thread be quieter in its negativity when he knocks one past Real Madrid.

    For all of u out there... Paulo is our best player...

    I hate he have to go deep to create cuz rivals are only doing one thing to stop him, kicking his ass and at the beginning that was just a Seria A thing but right now is in every competition. He should be more babbysitted for the rest...

    That FK was so close so he could be the hero again but after an injury and a row of so many games in a high level it was more than normal...

    We should at least play him as a RW when we are chasing a result. We know he doesn't have the stamina to play as a RW like Insigne all match. But with 99% possession he can play RW.

    Easy way to create danger: Pass ball to Dybala on right corner of box and watch him cut inside to left foot. Guaranteed 3 defenders running at him and leaving numerical superiority somewhere else for us.

    No Madrid meeting for Dybala | Football Italia

    Juventus forward Paulo Dybala is in Madrid, but he hasn’t gone to meet with officials from Real Madrid.

    La Joya hasn’t been called up by Argentina for this month’s friendlies, so he’s been granted a few days to take a holiday.

    The 24-year-old caused a stir yesterday when he was pictured in the Spanish capital, along with his brother and agent, Mariano.

    However, today’s Gazzetta dello Sport insists that Dybala is simply enjoying a holiday with friends, with the trip originally scheduled for the winter break.

    The Juve forward picked up an injury though, and he preferred to devote his free time to recovering from his hamstring problem.

    Real Madrid’s primary target is Neymar of Paris Saint-Germain, and it’s not though there was any informal or formal contact with Los Merengues.

    Dybala will be back in Madrid in around three weeks, as the Bianconeri face the holders in the Champions League Quarter-Final, with the second leg at the Bernabeu on April 11.
