James played as a box-to-box midfielder in this game. Even though Bayern lost, they dominated the midfield and possession. Their forwards just couldn’t finish the chances.
You'll never see Dybala playing "much higher" with Allegri as manager.
We know how Allegri field them.
Dybala as advanced midfielder dropping really low + Ronaldo and Mandzukic
Or 4-4-2 with Costa and Bernardeschi and 1 between Mandzukic and Dybala.
You`re right, and i hate that about Allegri. But i think this year he will change to a more "Offensive" formation when we`re playing in CHL knockout stage, but only for one match in a tie, the other match we will play pussy tactic and advance.
Emre Can - il nuovo Sturaro who can play football (even though it was just a regular Sturaro performance in the last game against Sampdoria).
Aaron Ramsey - il nuovo Khedira who can run.
Both signings (if the second one is also more than just a rumor) are pretty decent if you need to maintain the level you're satisfied with, with just a comparatively little improvement in terms of overall team's quality.
But this Juventus need to rise the bar in the midfield, not to maintain what they already have.
Bentancur is a great talent and will become one of the best midfielders of his generation. He's il nuovo Pogba in this team (personally, I see in him this season a lot of what I saw in Pogba during his first several seasons in Turin).
We also need il nuovo Pirlo (Pjanic is not even close) and especially il nuovo Vidal (Emre Can and Ramsey don't seem to have what it takes to be Vidal). Unfortunately, I don't see any names that could be up to the job.
