Obviously he played a stellar first half

second half was a maelstrom of issues for the team overall. However it’s obvious that fitness is an issue. He also was fielding the ball in our territory and pressured off rather easily at times. It’s an simple formula for any team to follow. See Lazio last December

Max is going to have to consider one of his 5 subs for Dybala around 60’-65’ as a mainstay. Especially if we’re in the position to protect a lead.

I hope he is able to sustain this quality at least thru the first half of matches

Still pissed off about the way things turned out in that second half but the main encouraging part to take from yesterday was that it's definitely good to see him back in shape and being decisive.

In this kind of form Dybala is a real asset to have around so may it last for as long as possible, as unlikely as it might be! :xfingers:

Yes he played well. But when the team started to play like shit he didn’t offer much. If those wage demands are true he needs to do more.
Sorry but the team played like shit..who did deliver in the second half? Let's not pin this on dybala only, it was a shit show from the team in general.

I'm a dybala fan, and this first real game of the season he scored and made an assist. For me that is worthwhile a compliment. He needs to continue to build on his fitness and he will score more goals.

The wage debate is becoming a joke now. The club is stupid enough to pay high wages to half this squad..and if you compared performances to wages there are shitload of players in the firing line. If dybaka scores one goal, then he should of scored two cuz he wants 10m per season, if he scores 2 goals in game you'll complain that for 10m per season he should have scored a hattrick. It's endless here.

ftfy. udinese never threatened. Game was under control. Juve even hit the post a couple times in the second half. Nevermind that goal that was disallowed. Honestly that was the most fluid this club has looked in years. Shame one guy, and only one guy, cost them two points with two unforced errors. But if they keep playing like that it’ll even out and they’ll be one of the best teams in serie A.

I’m not blaming Dybala for bad team performance. I’m saying usually players with such salaries that he’s asking for should offer more.

I agree he should offer more, and I do think this is his year. He realizes the team needs him. Ronaldo is gone come summer 2022 and Morata is unreliable as fuck, probably on his way back to ATM after his loan expires. Dybala will be the focal point moving forward. We can't sell/release three strikers in the same summer and rely on an already injured Jorge. That would be a monumental fuckup, a cataclysmic catastrophe of epic proportions (yes, it sounds redundant, but it's for dramatic effect).

Next summer, we're going to need to replace both Ronaldo and Morata, buy one more midfielder, and probably do something about the defense and goalkeeper. Good luck Chimichanga.

We will go to freebie market LOL, while people dont want Calha this year when he is actually free. We will see he firing goals and assists with Inter that he actually the players that we need so we can play varied formation. He can play on the left or on the CAM. Maybe we can start to shift the goals to our #9 and the left side becoming one of assists producer

Dybala is too unreliable to rely on in the long run as well.

Making him the 'focal point' or whatever you're going on about is disastrous. He doesn't need to be any focal point.

Maybe he can be a sidekick/supporting partner for a real good striker if and when we decide to invest, but fuck building the team around a guy whose stamina is waning and obviously is not consistent enough to carry the team on his back.

You'll see he actually play better than his Milan days, he is so underrated 20+ goals and assists combine guarantee
He did 20 goals+Assist in 19/20 and 21 goals+ assists in 20/21, while we still hail Lord Berna with measly 8 goals+assists in the last 2 years

You really love mediocrity compare that to 41 goal contribution

Maybe not the focal point, but we can't sell Dybala, return Morata and bid Ronaldo adieu all in one summer. It's suicide and unsustainable.

Dybala will be deployed heavily by Allegri, provided he can maintain form. The question is, who do we bring in to support him? You're talking about really good strikers, but who can we target? Please don't say Icunti or Kean. The former is a giant sack of shit who has been regressing, and the latter is still a work in progress. Vlahovic? Let's see how he performs this season. Haaland? Do we even stand a chance?

I suggest to scout Darwin Nunez, he is still pretty unknown for the top team. But he has the talent and with right guidance and support will become top #9

He's probably going to cost 40-50 million by season's end. A young Edinson Cavani?

I don't care about his stats tbh. I don't think he's the type of profile we should be going for. He's too erratic and inconsistent.

There was a time under lippi in his first stint mid to late 90s where a few summers in a row we lost vialli and ravanelli, then brought in vieri and boksic, then they left the summer after and then inzaghi joined etc....lots of changes in the forward group over consecutive summers. Different times yes, we had money, played in the best league and even if we lost CL finals were still considered the best team in Europe.

For me it is all about building this team for a golden era...we have a number of young players to build the team around. If R9, morata and dybala end up elsewhere...bring in vlahovic...have chiesa and kulu flank him...you have a forward trio several years.

I'm not convinced. You want Kulu starting, but I don't think he's ready. Also, if you have those three as your starting trio, who are you bringing in for backup?
