I might have dreamt it or maybe hallucinated but I thought I read someone post yesterday that Dybala was our player of the season last season.
Just...lol. Maybe if the season was from August until September.
Unfortunately this decline is 12-15 months long, with the occasional bit of quality. That's not what you expect from a top player, and it's a sign of mental fragility.
I'm not a fan of looking at stats but it is quite startling when you see where his goals came. The only big teams he scored against - if you can call them big teams - for part of his 20+ goals were Milan and Lazio, and in the CL there was one goal against Spurs. This year he has one against Man Utd and Milan, in a barren season. This is a player who shines against smaller teams, but that has declined with his drop in the pecking order and questionable role.
I just don't think we're ever going to see the player we hoped for, regardless of where he plays. It's a stick-or-twist situation. Do we give him another season, how long do you persevere? Yeah, probably another season. Blame Allegri all you want but Dybala is responsible for Dybala, at Juve you roll your sleeves up.
