Gazzetta saying Pinamonti could start alongside Lautaro.

Well, we're not scoring.

YoramG · Oct 29, 2020

It's Pinamonti season boys

blivious:

Javier'sSon · Oct 29, 2020

Or Perisic :yao:

Glass box · Oct 29, 2020

Rumour is that we'll see Kolarov as lcb again :yao2:

, because Bastoni will rest for the Madrid game.

Oh man Gervinho is gonna eat him alive.

Bastoni doesn’t need not to rest.... he had 2 weeks out with COVID.

How can we attack if Lukaku isn't there to hold the ball

Pina's hold up play is good for his age, unfortunately, he's average or lacking in just about every other meaningful striker metric.

I'd actually say it's kind of the opposite.

As I mentioned, last season I unwillingly watched more Genoa than any average man should. My biggest takeaway is that Pinamonti seems to only score the odd "pretty" goal once in a blue moon, but doesn't do anything else. He doesn't win headers, he doesn't engage in much hold up play and gets bullied off the ball easily. His rare goals showcase some excellent technique but for a guy his size, he's physically very poor.

The game simply bypasses him and he gets phased out of the match by defenders too often. I'm aware of course, a large part of this is due to playing for a shit team like Genoa who are rarely in the ascendancy. However, even the likes of Pandev can reliably do so much more with scarce resources. Just look how many fouls Pandev wins and how many plays he makes. (Although Pandev is vastly more experienced of course.)

He can't purely rely on his technique which will grab him the odd screamer from time to time. As shit as someone like Petagna is, he's extremely physical and this alone causes defenders problems and leads to scrappy half chances etc. If Pinamonti is to ever succeed at at mid-to-big club, he needs to ̶e̶x̶p̶o̶s̶e̶ impose himself.

But genoa were a relegation team. Means next to nothing when service is shit, tactics are shit, teammates are shit. He will do fine with us.

Don't talk about Pandev. That's serie A bias right there. Dives 99.9% of the time and will get the call due to "experience". Pina does that and it's "play on" :lol:

Universe · Oct 30, 2020

Nah. I watched him get bullied and dispossessed (fairly) by shit defenders over and over again. Sure, he doesn't have Mbappe and Messi to help him out but he's not very good at holding up the ball or at the very least making a nuisance of himself.

Still has a bit of that "kid playing among adults" thing about him, kinda like Esposito and Coutinho, but not as bad.

Just think about how our "best player" plays when the ball doesn't come EXACTLY to his feet....shit, exactly to his LEFT FOOT. 1/2m to one side and he can't trap the damn ball :lol:

Cut pina some slack and let's see how he would look in a much more defined system.

Kudos for the analysis. I watched good deal of Genoa games after the break last season because I had time to watch them and really, often somehow there wasn't anything else at the moment to watch.

However, I did not pay too much attention to Pinamonti or anyone else for that matter, was just shocked by how shit actually Genoa were in general and their performance didn't really warrant something to be said about them specifically.

You're a genius for noticing how ONE player from that side really played, since as a collective they were so incredibly shit.

Grande Universe.

Good to know. You've probably watched him more than I have. I liked what I saw in terms of hold up play from after the restart and in his limited minutes here, but it is a small sample pool.

Jnr · Oct 30, 2020

The lineup will be the same as usual. Perisic-Lautaro as strikers when Lukaku is out.

Choppin Onions · Oct 30, 2020

I’m willing to cut Pina some slack. He’s a young guy and he’s at least physically mature and has some top flight experience unlike Esposito who looked hopelessly out of place at such a young age. If it doesn’t work out, Conte can always go 3-5-1-1 with Eriksen behind Lautaro.

AvantiRagazzi · Oct 30, 2020

How many Parma players are unavailable? I believe they have quite a few out with COVID.

Jane The Virgin · Oct 30, 2020

Two experts analysing Pinamonti from the comfort of their home, while scrolling down their instafeed.

I'm glad we have the experts here.

Also watch how Pina gets all the hate while Lautaro who's been shit this entire season gets a pass because he is a good pal of that cuckold they call Messi.

H_D_Swagger · Oct 30, 2020

What about Icardi, is he a cuck?

Initially I thought he’s the opposite, but technically he is raising Maxi’s kid...

Glass box · Oct 30, 2020

Many useless unemployable twats in this squad.
