Messi leaves Barca - Dybala goes to Barca. Berna goes to Sassuolo and we get Berardi or Locatelli. I really want Dybala to be the guy for us, he just seems like he has to have the team built around him and that won't happen for another year or two and he will be like 29 and we should be looking at Kulusevski being our star by then.
Pirlo: Arthur doesn't have much vision. No shit. Hopefully he learns something from Pirlo in his time here, but he hasn't played bad its just he could be so much better
Yeah, been saying that for a while now. Dybala is absolutely useless on this squad, if he gets benched then he starts crying. He is just not good enough to play upfront...he gets destroyed but average defenders, he just doesn’t have that grit like he did his first few years. Maybe he is undersized, but so is Messi and the guy is on top of his game still. I feel that dybala just can’t get it together. Get the big money while he is still worth something.
After the subs it was obvious where lies the problem. Berna and Bentancur were invisible. McKennie doesn't do much on the right. And Dybala does get pushed around too much and is not the difference maker he was in the beginning of the year. I wonder what happened to him. With condensed schedule there needs to be a rotation but for me it is very clear that some players need to step up big time.
There were far too many times where Dybala was drifting so far back that he was behind all of the midfielders but Artur. He needs to stop doing that.
Dybala is still not fit IMHO, but playing him in a 4-4-2 with CR7....he can't be back picking up the ball all the time at the halfway line. That left us with either no one, or guys like Winston and Berna as the "threats" in the box. Dybala has to play in a 3 man attack or as a man between the lines. He simply doesn't play as a second striker. I think he could be effective in that role with CR7 and alVARo, but that would put Kulu or someone else on the bench.
THAT was a discouraging remark. I thought he did well on Saturday, but yesterday he was back to his aimless turning and carrying the ball too much. We still ned help in the MF.
After an initial hiccup in getting settled in with the team , Álvaro Morata has scored 7 total goals in 10 games across all competitions. That signing by Pirlo so far is turning into a genius move.
Dybala has been poor all season. We are all agreed. However, it wasn't too long ago that we were saying how nuts that Paratici was for entertaining the idea of selling him because he was arguably our best player last season. People are rightfully concerned with Dybala's performances so far this season. There is a legitimate argument to be had about whether he should be sold given that his contract is winding down and he wants a lot of money. However the decision isn't as easy as many are making it. It's not as if he has been shit ever since he got here and isn't Juve quality, e,g., Bernardeschi.
By advancing to the next CL stage, Juventus already secured 33M€. More will come from the historical ranking and from the market pool (TV rights). One curiosity: Morata’s last minute goal was worth 1.8M€ (the difference between a draw 0.9M€ and a win 2.7M€ in CL) @tuttosport pic.twitter.com/uFbeO5Ziof— Around Turin (@AroundTurin) November 26, 2020
I took a certain amount of pleasure watching their misfortune, but they were done poorly by the ref who lit Vidal up like the fuse on a firecracker with his no call, thus sealing their fate.Hopefully as the elite teams emerge the mediocre refs will be watching on TV rater than on the field
Watching Arturo erupt reminded me why he was shipped out. Well...that, and violating the crashed Ferrari rule.
Half of what he deserved, I only got to see it in real time but I think he had a PK coming. As for his antics with the ref, I concur. He's the guy most likely to get tossed from a match unless Sergio Ramos is in the game.
Stephanie Frappart is the ref for Wednesdays Juve vs Dynamo game, she’s the first woman to be in charge of an CL game.
