That is not true Adrian. DP does perform really well in certain matches but they are few and far in between. And I fear that we are going to see the same scenarios of 2000 and 2001 where we waited for the whole season for a good DP but all we got was nothing.
DV might miss chances but at least he does create them and eventually they will go in. Right now it's better to play him.
I find this funny!
When DV missed chances, which should have turned out the results, in the past few matches, he is still given a chance, but when DP performed badly in the past few matches after he returns from injury, he wouldn't be given a chance.
If you go back to see the tape of this juve-lazio match, there were 2 times when DP did created chances by passing ball through to DV, who missed both. I wouldn't say that DP is better than DV at this moment, but DV has not yet proved that he is consistent and reliable enough to start in every match.
