Paulo Dybala (113 Viewers)
- Thread starter Dostoevsky
- Start date
He's been played out of his natural position ever since we ditched the 3-5-2. He was banging in the goals at the start of last season. Paulo doesn't have the physical attributes to be played further back or on the wing. It's also a waste of his lethal finishing in front of goal.
The way I see it, given that CR7 is the focal point, Dybala and Mandzukic cannot coexist. Either you play Mandzukic and let him swap position with Ronaldo in a 4-3-3 or you play Dybala upfront next to Ronaldo in a 4-4-2 or a 3-5-2.
Allegri have to start viewing Dybala as a CF not a trequartista.

Allegri:
“He needs to play. I’ve said since he arrived that his best physical quality is his running, so he needs to play and to move. He had some good moves today, controlling on the edge of the box where there was traffic, but he needs to run at defenders and he’ll do that once his fitness levels improve.
“Dybala has no need to feel this performance anxiety. You can be the best player in the world, but if you’re not at 100 per cent mentally, the others will get to the ball faster. Mario Mandzukic is always first to the ball, but today he was a little less sharp because of fatigue, it’s natural.”

I thought it was just Costa that played too much Fortnite?
