Simone Zaza (38 Viewers)

I really liked Zaza in this game. Of course he's supposed to be scoring goals but it was really encouraging for him to be pressing like that and giving their defence so little time on the ball.

He's growing on me

Dude has heart, workrate, grinta and the legs for games. But he is just way too over-eager to make an impression. He rushes things and makes stupid decisions in the final third. I kind of get why Allegri started him (to press the $#@! out of Inter, and provide more physicality upfront) but we really should have started Dybala in his place. We needed creativity and craftiness out there last night, and Zaza surely doesn't provide that.

But dybala came back late.
It is understable decision.
Eventhough understable, allegri should sub in dybala early to replace morata.
Not mandzukic.

He's got to be the worst shooter in the history of Juventus forwards. Fu<k the "grinta" and "heart" when you don't have the brain, no good decisions, and mortifying shooting. So amateur.

IF you're truly one-footed (although, for someoene who play every day and has done so over the past 15 years minimum - that's hard to understand) and you are closing in on goal at a very tight angle - what do you do? You power it all you've got.
There's no finesse, only power. Zaza makes the right decisions, but is no less one-footed then Dybala, and over the past couple of games, i'm even temped to compare the shooting of Zaza with Pogba. It's horrific lately!

Yeah, it's only his fault that we didn't win. Not the two chances for Cuadrado, not the post from Khedira and the sitter for Mandzukic. No, it's his fault. He is cheap and we all wanted something expensive and fancy.

Being fair, I only disliked his first shot, but overall I was impressed that he has so much pace. I'm very optimistic for this guy.

This is because Allegri is off his rocker. Not because Dybala can't play well against Napoli or Inter. You do know that Dybala came on and assisted our goal against Napoli, right? His arrival in that game made us actually look decent.

He would have suited this game much better than Zaza, as we had absolutely no creativity on the pitch aside from Cuadrado. Our problem was a lack of creative play in the attacking third. It's been our problem all season.

i didn't say i agree with allegri. Dybala would Always play if i was a coach.

C'mon, it is a growth path for him.
Give him a time.
Even alex sandro need time.

I thought he did well. He showed great pursuit after the ball and he triggered on possible counters... the kind of stuff Tevez would do when he wasn't shooting.

 

[Nenz]

The touch of a paedophile. Otherwise not bad. His tireless harassment of inters defenders actually almost amounted to something.

 

[JuveJay]

He's always worked better as a foil to someone rather than being a top striker in his own right. Right now there is too much chopping and changing of our attack, so none of them are really getting chance to form a partnership.

Created our seond best chance yesterday when he disposessed that Inter defender btw.

I can't complain when I see a player at least trying to work their ass off for first team play.

Great signing.

I really like this guy

Too bad he was too slow to shoot the chances he had.

He led the front line well and his closing down was top notch. Shame about his first touch.

I can when better players are benched because of him. He could've been a good volante with that kind of grinta but the striker role for a big club like Juventus requires someone with a better first touch and finishing.

I'm fine with bringing him in the second half here and there just to replace tired legs cause I'm sure he'll work hard but he should be nowhere close to the starting eleven, especially on big matches.
