Yeah put him on the bench and play 33 years old Manzu whose only attribute is heading sometimes.
It's just laughable when people here wants him dropped.
I said last night play him closer to the goal and he will deliver week in and week out.

Allegri is destroying this kid's career by playing him out of position.

Both his goals were pretty far away from the goal.

Dybala makes us tick down the middle. Without him, all we do is cross cross cross.

Ideally he shouldn’t even have to do this, someone like Pogba or Eriksen should play this role instead.

Unfortunately, as it stands right now, we don’t have that kind of player. As long as our midfield is in this state, Dybala should always start.

I don't understand how Mandzukic is a "real #9" according to Allegri but we don't use him as a #9. There are no long balls to Mandzukic. He just stands on the last man like Higuain. When he gets a fullback on him, he scores with his head. That's it. He's a fine player, he doesn't have Dybala's talent though.

Dybala should just play #9 and have absolute and complete freedom to do whatever he wants to get a shot on goal. There should be no responsibility to play in midfield and help possession, no responsibility to bring the ball up through the lines. No responsibility to link play. These are not his qualities. He should be a complete surplus when he drops into midfield. There should be 5 players there already monopolizing the ball and outnumbering the opposition.

If there are only 3 midfielders and he's the 4th, then he gets marked! He gets pressured on his first touch. He cannot be as dangerous.

If there are 5 midfielders and he drops back and becomes the 6th, he can get the ball on his left foot more comfortably.

Just saw the replays and holy shit his 2nd goal was one hell of a hit and at the death. Wtf was Chokenaldo doing, really inexcusably selfish to try and head that, had he made contact it just would've gone over anyway,.

Why is this guy not FW yet? Give him a chance on his left from anywhere even remotely decent and is goalscoring opportunity.
