i just want to see a asamoah-hernanes-sturaro midfield
I can't believe that's actually a possible Juve midfield. We have quality backups for every player in the team except for our whole midfield.

And why the fuck is it so necessary to rotate AS and Evra so much? AS is probably the fittest player in the team, yet he needs to rest every other game while Dybala and Khedira play every game. And our two star signings, two of best players, Pjanic and Higuain apparently are the most unfit players in the squad.

Now they say 3-5-2 again...

Buffon
Barza-Rugani-Chiello
Alves-Cuad-Lemina-Pjanic-Sandro
Hugain-Dybala/Pjaca

He's right about resting Khedira, he has to.

He's not insane enough to play Evra and Asamoah this time.

And he basically said he won't give up 352 now, or it would be some sign of weakness. Lol. That "during the season" they will change the fucking scheme.

It will be a 352 with Rugani for one of the back 3, Alves, Dybala-Higuain, Pjanic-Lemina.

Only doubt it the other midfield. He'll either go with Hernanes as a regista or Cuadrado/Sandro as a box-to-box CM.

Forget about the 433 pipe dream.

Juventus are without Sami Khedira, Patrice Evra and Medhi Benatia for tomorrow’s clash with Cagliari.

Khedira is rested, while Benatia limped off during the 2-1 defeat to Inter on Sunday with a left adductor issue that “will continue to be monitored over the next few days.”

As for Evra, the veteran sprained his left knee during today’s training session and he will undergo tests tomorrow.

The good news for Coach Max Allegri is that Stefano Sturaro is in the squad for the first time this season, having made his comeback from injury playing for the Primavera youth team.

Juventus squad for Cagliari: Buffon, Chiellini, Pjanic, Cuadrado, Higuain, Hernanes, Alex Sandro, Barzagli, Mandzukic, Lemina, Bonucci, Pjaca, Dybala, Asamoah, Dani Alves, Rugani, Neto, Lichtsteiner, Sturaro, Audero

Midfield is not weak, they play weak but they can do better and it's not the formation change that will solve it. Khedira, Asamoah, Pjanic, Lemina are all players who have the potential to play good but they were like sheep in the mist during the game with Inter. It was for a reason that Allegri said it was the worst game in the last 30 years between Inter and Juve regarding the technical aspect. I think that it's mostly due to the fact that Pjanic hasn't yet adjusted to our team and the concentration levels were low for some reason.
