Lots of fun mate!! Hope it finishes 4-0 or something.. Are you checking out the museum? I went there 2 years ago...was full of tears from joy despite being a guy
Unfortunately, I didn't have time. On my honeymoon, and taking a train to the purple rats territory tomorrow.
But the entire Udinese team is staying in my hotel - pretty cool.

1) Just from a live perspective because I was at the game - Cuadrado was not that bad. He was in reasonably good positions, switched the play a couple of times, drew a bunch of fouls and was crucial in creating the 2nd goal. His problem was finishing where he took a couple of bad shots. He was a complete handful for Udinese though, and on the left side he was creating chaos once he switched over.
2) Hernanes had a weaker game - the goal looks like his fault on replay, but live the pass seemed to be a bit of a suicide pass. He didn't create a lot of opportunity from deep.
3) Mandzukic should be used for cup matches. I hate to say it because he is a good striker, but when you have Gonzalo, his subpar finishing makes him a bad choice.
4) Dybala was great
5) Barzagli was sensational...and shows how he can appear to do so little, and do so much at the same time.
6) I thought Lemina was awful. He destroyed chances in attack, and his passing was sloppy. He rarely made the smart play and held onto the ball too long.
7) Felt bad for Sturaro when Dybala got subbed off for him and everyone was like "Sturaro?" He then proceeded to immediately make a typical Sturaro play - make an aggressive intelligent defensive play, and then miss the offensive movement that resulted from it.
