We just have too many old, slow non technical players that rely more on effort than actual skill. The good news is we also have the opposite of that waiting in the wings. Guys like Costa, Bern, Rugani, and Spinazzola should all be starting. Look at the difference someone like Costa made yesterday. No way should a guy like that be sitting on the fucking bench. Love mandzukic but his best quality as a winger is his defending. Lol. Cuadrado is a bench player AT BEST on a top club.

Once Berna is in better form I'd be bold and go experimental if I was Allegri.

MdS (no choice) Rugani Chiellini Alex Sandro
Khedira Marchisio
Berna Pjanic Costa
Dybala
Because playing Khedira instead of Higuain makes so much sense?


Because that's who that lineup sacrifices Higuain for essentially.

In a perfect world Khedira wouldn't even be on the bench. I'm dying for a proper talented CM and a RB but that's what we have now.

And well, not really. I've been wanting to see Dybala as our CF since day one and I'd definitely sacrifice Higuain for that to happen.

You don't sacrifice Higuain for that, FFS he just scored 32 goals for us, and Dybala has not shown he can play as sole CF at all. You should instead play both in attack and sacrifice a winger (4-3-1-2) or the AM ( 4-4-2).

Not when you just bought 2 wingers and have 4/5 in total.

Dybala has, at Palermo. With a decent playmaker behind him. I have no doubt he can do it twice as better.

He's a great domestic goal scorer I'll give you that but far from being the striker that carries a team on his back when it matters. Dybala might have not been what we expected in the final but one can't deny his natural talent, and when one has that, all one needs is confidence.

442 is something I'd consider.

We have been playing 4-4-2 for half a year now.

If Max goes back to his favorite 4312 / 4321 setup we could field a mid three of Pjanic Marchisio, new CM and
Up top primary formation
Berna
Dybala Higuain

Then

Costa Mandzu Pjacca

Most probably not going to happen, itd mean benching Mandzu and Costa who's apparently our marquee signing this year.



I know it's early to judge, and as usual our conditioning sucks so this is a typical Juve start of season under Allegry, but overall if we saw a glimpses of 4231's deficiencies it was worse than when our 352 became a rigid formation. I lost count how many times lazios defence blasted the ball, at times not even attempting to pass but a simple clearance aimed at middle of the pitch only for their attackers to pick up the loose ball behind our two midfielders and run at CB's with fullbacks still high up.


I hope moving forward from next season we switch to a diamond midfield and a front two (Dybala) and manage to get someone like Radja when we will say goodbye to Khedira and his 4.5m wages.

if we get someone from Roma, it better be Manolas. $#@! Strootman
Are you seriously rating Manolas more than Strootman?!
Strootman is WC
Manolas is just another defender...
If we get Manolas our defenders quality wise would be 1. Chiellini 2. Barzagli/Benatia 3. Rugani 4.Manolas
If we get Strootman he would definitely start along with Pjanic...
Strootman when available is WC the thing is he has some tough times with injuries...

Matuidi > Can > Strootman. agree with the rest
What the hell are you talking about.. Strootman is way better than both the thing is the others play much more games due to being healthy...

- - - Updated - - -

So premium sport says we're not giving up on Strootman. Willing to include Cuadrado.
I hope they are right
