Just got done watching it, not knowing outcome. WOW! Liked the offensive approach from outset but WTF was going on for most of the match being a man up? Anyway thought Higgy once again be the goat after missing gimme goal but came through via BEAUTIFUL assist from his half-Italia bro. REDEMPTION! Plus the Dybala near set piece goal. No selling Beppe please!
Cuads needs more practice defensively at RB but can see why for me having him and Costa starting is a must. And having Sami and Matuidi in there not enough natural goal scoring. Perfect short pass from Mario but Matuidi doesn't have scorer instinct. I like him in there but like Cuads at RB, how about Berna (-Sami) in the midfield going forward?
And Rugani not much dribbling forward but only want him for CONSISTENT defense. Thanks Barza for everything but time has caught up to you. Maybe those young Italia backs come aboard next year to join Rugani in solidifying defense next. Such a disappointing season as a whole performance from Sandro. Maybe if Cuads gets right back spot, Howedes can be the LB option and Alex gets sold?
For me in 2018-19, thinking lots of young options at CBs plus Chiello/Benatia and possibly .....
Cuads- ??? - ??? - Howedes
Berna - Pjanic - Matuidi
Dybala- Higgy - Costa
