Juve 2017/18 explained in a 3 paragraphs short notes
1. Our defensive/offensive line is SO deep we could probably find the wreckage of the Titanic. When you play so deep, it takes a much longer distance to get to the opponent's goal. More distance means more time. More time means our opponents are usually back in their defensive positions by the time we reach the halfway line. We don't have players nearly fast enough to make a decent attack over that kind of distance.
2. Our "Wingers" are a scam. They are not wingers. They are defensive LM/RMs. Look at how many times Mandz and Cuadrado have to turn back and pass to our CBs. They can't take on their man like Costa or Berna or Dybala. In an attacking move, they are a waste of possession. We sacrifice TWO of the most important positions in modern football, just for some defensive cover. And still concede goals for fun.
3. Non-existent midfield. Look at how our play goes. Pjanic and Khedira barely touch the ball. When the opponent attack, once they clear our forwards, they reach our defenders with no midfield pressure. I've said it before and i'll say it again, we CANNOT play two CMs with players like these. Look at the 2nd Samp goal. Zero midfield cover from Pjanic and Khedira at all. Their midfielder was free to waltz in and shoot on his own time.
agree totally. midfield was overrun whenever we play a 2 man midfield and especially when pairing khedira with pjanic. khedira is done. he should now be a bench / rotation player instead of a first teamer. Marchisio or Matuidi should pair with pjanic. this is a no brainer
as for our "wingers", they are a disgraced. last season mandzu and cuard were effective coz no one expected allegri will be insane enough to deploy a tank target man as a left winger. it took everyone by surprised. the element of surprise made up for mandzu's insuitability to play on the wing last season. this season, everyone knows how to stop him and exploit his weakness, hence he is totally useless on the left. As for cuard, his lack of good decision making was made up by dani alves's creativity and crossing from right back. this season he has been paired alot with the going down hill lict. di siglio is also ever missing from the line up...
at left back.. asamoah is no longer like the pre-injury / conte days asamoah.he is also done along with our grand master barzagli. he is really showing his age. As for sturaro, he should never be near our starting lineup if cuard or mandzu both starts. we have enough of lack of creativity. entire team depends on dybala and pjanic to create. no wonder opponents shut down dybala and pjanic easily
players who should be sold or should only be subs: lict, asamoah, manzu, khedira, sturaro, barzagli
