Juventus Match Hub 2016-17

the ptoblems juventus have i would say its , some players are getting old and the physical presence has been reduced a little is not like conte days anymore when we used to win the ball back too easy

but even that , when you have a technically good team its not too much of concern as you expect to be better on ball possession and other advantadges because of experience and when you think about players we have like higuain, dybala, pjanic, cuadrado, marchisio, sandro, khedira

this is a really high talented team, one you expect to score 3 goals every game,

the only problem juventus have i would say , its a really bad luck with injuries,

first it was khedira and marchisio injuries
than we had chiellini, dybala, higuain, Pjaca
now dani alves?
whos next?

the team i believe is really good but with so many injuries its impossible to know its full potential, always someone injured

Witsel being the final choice is also proof about how indecisive we were. How will the midfield fit? It is like dofferent pieces of a puzzle brought together. Our midfield turned from the strongest point to the weakest point.

The issue seems to be replacing Vidal to me, its pretty obvious we lack player like him.

Both, my friend. From Pogba-Vidal to Pjanic-Khedira. The physical presence has been reduced a lot. Pogba-Vidal- Pirlo/Marchisio was perfect. It had literally everything:

Long shots
Physical Strength
Creativity
Talent
Passing

With the current midfielders, we are limited to only some creativity (with an off-form pjanic), and stamina with some tactical awareness from Khedira.
Sturaro and Lemina are limited too. Sturaro doesn't kno how to score, Lemina very inexperienced and it is really a mess.

yeah, vidal was compensating for lots of the qualities a team needs to win the game

when you had vidal you did not have to worry too much who will play around him, it could be padoin it was not too much a problem

but those days, conte days, the team had lots of energy , you had guys like asamoah, vidal, marchisio, lichtainer, pogba , all the players was adding lots of energy and the opponents could not handle the intensity of our game , we was winning the game physically

these there was vidal today i am unsure if that would make lots of difference as the team has reduced the intensity and i dont think vidal could do too much on his own, however instill believe he would have improved the team a little

Juventus (4-3-1-2) : Zoff; Lichtsteiner, Rugani, Chiellini, Alex Sandro; Khedira, Marchisio, Sturaro; Pjanic; Higuain, Mandzukic;

Solid lineup. Let's hope that Pjanic can play well. Using an AM makes sense when we have 2 CFs

I definitely agree.

We WILL win today. Papa Gigi says so so it must be true...

Score predictions?

2-1 for me. Mandzukic, Sandro, Papu Gomez

3-0 Juve
Higuain x2
Pjanic

we usually smash opponents after a loss... Atalanta might be in a good streak, but on paper we are superior by far.

If Juve do not concede this game, you can place your bet for me... First come first serve! I change my display picture until new years!

Your avatar ? but... but... i like it like that

but maybe you could change your favourite club to Juve instead

Sandro! As I expected

HAhahahaha :p fine!

Anyone thought about comparing Sandro to Bale?

OMG RUGANI!!! I WAS GONNA PREDICT RUGANI I SWEAR!!!

Sandro is better
i hope we don't lose respect for Atalanta and continue playing this good until the end

Mandzukic is unbelievable.

100% accuracy! Mandzukic and Sandro!

What a performance. 10/10 from the boys so far.

I love Mandzukic.

Yep! Almost!!!

have someone compared sandro with bale before?

i think i have made a comment on goal com / sandro profile, as i was really happy about the transfer i said something like he attacks like Bale, but cant find the comment with my ipad

my idea was that physically sandro has good pace and he is also technically good, and the first player that comes to my mind about compering him with is bale because they also use left foots


if sandro manages to improve his tactical awareness i believe he is really dangerous player as he has extreme important qualities,

he has to understand better with marchisio, pjanic, dybala so they can all be more effective

good to see rugani score i hope he integrates on first xi
