[Serie A] Genoa - Juventus (September 20, 2015) (1 Viewer)
- Thread starter JCK
- Start date
Ok overall performance and much much needed win.
Cuadrado good active incisive performance, Pereyra welcomed spark to add dribbling and mobility to open up Genoa when things were too static with Morata and the others (they were relying on Chiellini long balls lol), but still lacks end product a bit. Lemina extremely hard tackler but clean for most of it, played on edges at times, but he seriously did ALOT of precise and hard tackles that saved our bacons and started few counters. Added steel and dirty toughness we badly needed. But needs to be involved alot more in possesion and move around more, but he was holding Mid, I except him to play better/be more intimidating mobile presence as RCM then this static role.
Mandzukic and Sturaro absolutely useless performance. Seriously have no bussiness starting when they perform like this. Former is way too slow and got closed down easily when he was open on goal (completely no threat whatsoever if he isnt getting accurate crosses, and he was barely getting bad crosses today...), and latter ran alot, but he added nothing defensively, barely got the ball, and I cant recall him joining the attack once.

Good game and very important three points. At this time we should not look at the table but look to keep on winning no matter how. We took the lead in an ugly way but the ball that Pereyra sent was too damn sexy so let's not complain. We got pressed at some points but that was expected playing Genoa at their home ground and considering our terrible start of the season. I thought Dybala should have come in when we went two up, he could have burried those opportunities that Mandzukic wasted. As for our injuries, this is getting silly now.

I'm not that mad Dybala didn't start, Mandzukic had to be given another try out but if he starts again next week I'll be pissed. I don't get why Pereyra doesn't start though. He's clearly our most creative player down the middle and causes a lot of trouble to the opponents defense. Is it that his defensive workrate is not as good?
