I really don't like seeing Stu as a starter for us, he's far too one-dimensional for that. Lemina doesn't quite have the same tenacity and ground-covering ability as Stu, but he's so much more intelligent and well-rounded as a player, it's strange that Allegri seems to favour Stu more, regardless of him being Italian, unless we're not seeing something that he sees in practice. I have noticed Stu is a decent dribbler of the ball the last few matches, and when he finally chooses the right pass, his accuracy isn't bad... but his decision making is horrible, so he misplaces passes all the time and ruins whatever technical skill he has.

Pjanic was Roma's best mid last season, by a wide margin. While he's had a rough start to his Juve career, especially consistency-wise, relative to last season, he still has 6 goals-6 assists already. And his team is leading Serie A, 7 points ahead of Radja's team, and considering Radja is constantly saying Roma has easily as good players, if not better than Juve. Well, he doesn't have much excuse.
