With ZANIOLO out, we can try midfield of Matic-Cristante. We can try and play for 1 - 0 again vs Juventus.
Can’t wait for the ISIS cup next week. Aside from the result, the game within the game; who plays the more terrorist style
We've played weak opposition so anything less than full pts would have been a major disappointment. Cant say I'm overly pleased with how much ball our weak opponents (especially today) have enjoyed. Cremonese could easily have come away with a draw today. Salernitana, however, never really looked like scoring. It's also true to say, that in both games we created enough chances to score 3 or 4 goals and run out easy winners. All in all, have to be happy with our 6pts outta 6 though.
This is it, we can see the side can make good chances very easily from nothing. A big difference to last year but they still need time to find the best shape on the pitch. Dybala is finding his role and at times looks so good in between the lines. The duo in midfield will take work and it does leave the side a little bit vulnerable as teams can play possession here. I seen 5 or 6 times Cristante lose the possession a top cm would not have done. Those turnovers really affect build up. We know what he brings in other aspects of the game and why he gets game time but that really hurts the team and over a season it will cost goals both ways on the pitch. If you were going to pin point a weakness yesterday it starts in the centre and specifically with him. Yesterday did show clearly why they should not be chopping and changing formations yet. I\ am happy to see SES back in the attacking role as he offers a lot. Its taken him these 12-18 months to get sharp again but he looks like everything is on fire from touch to link up. Smalling was massive again. he is a magnet to these crosses.
