Hakan Çalhanoğlu

[Hakan Calhanoglu: “I needed a new challenge, if I score in the derby I’ll celebrate.”]

lmaooooooo

Judging from the first 5 games it’s really an embarrassing thing to say.. I wont even start him at the derby if he keeps playing like that.

He better get his shit together first before talking this nonsense.

 

[Sawyer]

Personally think it's a bold thing to say, I love it. Like we've discussed, there aint really any other options to replace him right now in that spot/role.

 

[eduzee]

Should play because his set-pieces are often dengerous.

 

[wera]

I'm actually surprised how good he is in defence... and how great of a ninja he is. Brozović is totally overshadowing him and so Hakan doesn't really get the ball that often. Maybe that's the problem, he doesn't get confident because he is not included enough.

Some of his choices were to pass are...disappointing, to say the least. The set pieces are cool, his defensive work is more than passable, but he needs to show his creativity in faster and more decisive ways. We'll need him on his A day against big teams - like today.

 

[Pajo]

Peace of wood. Eriksen even without the numbers was 5x thr player he will ever be.

 

[Earth]

every single game we waste an hour playing this guy

 

[uny_arturo]

I apologise to Eriksen. Thought he's not good enough for Serie A. Then came this guy who speaks fluent Italian and provokes his previous teammates. And look at the shitty end product he delivers for us...

 

[Eirix]

He's so shit, I don't want to see him in the starting eleven.

 

[Ethor]

He's starting to piss me off, lets see if he can have consistent decent match going forward.

 

[YoramG]

I thought he'd take longer than this to nosedive into what is his actual quality, but there it is. He is shit, far more often than he's good, and he should not be on the pitch in high pressure matches.

Well, his goal against genoa really make me burst with optimism about him after he was such a meh at milan, but now it just... pfff...

 

[thatdude]

For Inzaghi’s football Vecino is better. We need to swap the minutes they’ve been getting.

 

[Glass box]

entirely lived up to "1 good game and then 5 shit" critics so far

by that logic he should come good against shakhtar

 

[CafeCordoba]

Jesus fucking christ this guy. He's there helping the defence and all but it feels he just doesn't get ANYTHING right with the ball and his movement.

Only good thing is we didn't sign him for 4, let alone 5 years contract (like it could have been with the player of that age).

 

[cuckooc]

He look lost in defense and didn't press enough. Just look at the second goal conceded to Atalanta, look at his position. He stayed too high up and did not defend at all. Brozovic covered his position and moved to the left and then Barella moved to cover Brozovic, which left a space a for Malinovskyi to shoot outside the box.

Every time when we lose the possession, Lautaro, Brozovic, and Barella are trying so hard to press the opponent, but Dzeko and Cahlanoglu are just walking slowly which gives the corresponding opponent so much time and space to pass the ball comfortably. Our pressing is the first line of defense, but it never set up right with these two players on the pitch.

Nah, its me jinxing him. Every game since the second game I've bought atleast kebab, yogurt or ayran to prepare celebrating Hakan if he does something good 🤷‍♂️ Now I eat/drink it in disgust after the game.

 

[Irequis]

Second worst player after Dzeko. He worked hard and well at the first 20 minutes then completely lost the plot for the rest of the match. He was always 1-2 steps too late for every occasion either in attack or defence. His defensive presence was close to zero culminating at Atalanta's second goal and his attacking power is even worse. He is like a footgolf or football golfer in the sense that he only shows up during dead ball situation, but completely useless when the ball is moving. Must be benched for the next matches unless our other midfielders play more terribly.
