Asamoah - Pjanic - Khedira looks like a well balanced midfield. I still think many people underrate Asamoah. Really technical, strong and sometimes creative player.
At his best, an awesome player. But you can't deny his injuries havent taken its toll. Such a strong dribbler and imaginative back then, kinda bland now.


Anyway, not convinced by Pjanic as regista. Needs to be closer to the goal, I feel. This change of position seems forced to me.

    Wait a minute. I thought I'm in charge of opening match threads? :confused:

    @swag
    You were slow. :p

    No, I had no idea someone was assigned to do this. (When did this tradition start and where was it announced??)

    So go ahead... by all means.

    I expect us to play with Dybala Higuain and Mandzukic as we might have a problem in our mid especially if Pjanic is injured... maybe even Pjaca with Dybala and one of Mandzukic Higuain as Pjaca seems really promising!
    I expect us to have a hard fought game with a slight win 2-1 over Fiorentina!
    I expect the team to win without really performing in this game - It will be a tough start now that we dont have Pogba and we have a Higuain who isnt as fit as he was last year...

    :agree: People watch him now and see a three years ago player. Hopefully he stay fit and can return to his old form cuz right now he's average

    @Mark announced it a while ago. Also I opened like at least 20 last match threads. Just check out thread opener's member name. But no worries, mate. I will open 2nd round match thread, after Fiorentina.

    Most probable line-up:

    -----------------------Buffon-------------------------

    ---------Barzagli----Bonucci----Chiellini------------

    Alves----Lemina-----Pjanic-----Asamoah----Sandro

    ----------------Dybala-----Mandzukic----------------

    Khedira for Lemina if Allegri thinks he is fit enough (which I doubt).

    If Pjanić is unavailable I'd play this:

    Dybala - Higuain [Mandžukić] - Pjaca

    Alex Sandro - Lemina - Khedira

    Evra - Chiellini - Bonucci - Dani Alves

    Buffon​
