@onesoccer Was played as a traditional 9 for most of his appearances, which didn’t suit his style of running into open space with the ball. But also missed numerous sitters, and his confidence fell off. La Liga should offer him far more to work with than Serie A.
@dybalexa It’s a tough mercato to judge. Late start. So many out going players that were not sold and could return again. In terms of additions, up there with any Serie A squad. Need consistent management to ensure we are not starting from scratch each summer. 7.8.
@espnpodcasts@Marcotti@LaurensJulien Absolutely spot on. If the field is stretched, Argentina’s midfield would weaken over the game. By shrinking the game to the 4 feet outside the 18 yard box, it is exactly where Argentina thrives. At 1-1 England lost its legs and had no plan. Trying to defend for 40 mins???
@JoshEberley Shaq. Can’t be stopped near the goal, where he does most of the work. A classic number 9, who plays with his back to defenders. Crazy physical traits.
@Berto_AJC It’s like it’s from a book passed to every new manager. Step 1- Say you’re committed to an “Ital-Juve”. Step 2- Name drop Berardi as a target. 3- Abandon all plans and overpay an Italian club for an overachieving player. Step 4- Sell promising U21s under market for capital gains
@TatticaPassata A long time Juventus fan. Post knee injury or post 2000, I dont think it’s even close. Totti was the elite in the world, at a time Del Piero started a slow descent. Prior to the knee injury or until November 1998, also agree, at club level Alex was top 3.
@Rahulvn5 Take the start of training to try cambiasso at attacking midfield. He has perfect characteristics. Sign a replacement like ruggeri, udogie or palestra if any of that is financially possible.
@OmarKelly Indoors for most of the season and few trips up north. Drake London and Kyle Pitts who can feast on his “bread and butter” type of throws. Good play caller in Stefanski. If he beats out Penix, and doesn’t succeed, then he’s not meant for this league. No better landing spot.
