Scrappy game with Genoa as usual.
Cuadrado and Barzagli played well.
Padoin starting over Hernanes was fine. Padoin was a safer option defensively, and it'd have been more physically taxing for Marchisio playing as a B2B in a Marchisio-Hernanes-Pogba midfield.
Don't get why Caceres started 3 games in a row though. Rugani should have started. Both getting equal number of games would've been fine (and preferable for the time being), but Caceres playing thrice a week and Rugani getting relegated to a reserve role isn't.
13th win in a row
arty:, but the injuries are a bummer.
Some sources are wrong in saying 13 consecutive wins broke the club record. It broke the single-season record of 12, but tied the club record of 13 from 2013-14 to 2014-15.

And lol at Zaza. He was flirting with red before, was bound to receive it sooner or later.

Pereyra will be a key player in those games. You heard it here first.
Pereyra has nothing to do with Khedira though.
If Pereyra plays, it means Barzagli won't and we'll play a 4312.
Both Pereyra and Pogba at CM makes the midfield very unbalanced and it never worked before because both Bobby and Polpo are attacking CMs.
