Hakan Çalhanoğlu

[pupivn]

Do they have the same 9 other players and coach? That logic makes 0 sense.

Did I compare whole squad and coach? My take could be wrong but I didn’t go with that direction, it’s just based on what I see how Hakan and Brozovic playing together is better than him playing with Kessie.

Looks alright again today. We tried to slot him in as the CAM at the beginning of the season. But it looks like he feels equally settled as a LCM. To be fair he tracks back more frequently than Eriksen and I appreciate that, as would any Italian coach.

 

[GenDire]

I thought he was brilliant today, not just "alright". The guy was everywhere, playing killer balls, dribbling into dangerous positions, and hustling on defense.

 

[ADRossi]

The dude is on fire. That shot he had from outside the area was a rocket. A few great passes. He's been our best midfielder since November 1.

 

[RickyMaravilla'sRightFoot]

I think it’s a mentality thing. He’s not a number 10 (at least not for a club like inter). Eriksen was a natural 10 for example. Calhanoglu is a 20 and if he can accept that he will be fine.

I think he was abducted by aliens and they sent someone else instead. The lazy ass turned into a real footballer in a month !

According Whoscored, Calhanoglu is Inter best player so far with 7.21 rating.

Wish he scored that chance after being played through by Lautaro. His confidence would be through the roof. Should have gone with a cheeky chip.

Dear Aliens,

No returns/refunds.

Sincerely.

He lacks grace and composure compared to Eriksen. But motherfucker provides work rate that I really begin to appreciate too. In this league, that is a useful trait to have. He doesn't lack the skills and techniques as well. His problems have always been decision making, but he seems to have improved on that. Beginning to turn into a bargain signing.

 

[Choppin Onions]

Isn’t this kinda the scouting report on Hakan though? He’s either rather useless or one of the best players on the field. I mean I hope he remains playing like he has recently but consistency has never been his strong suit.

 

[vex]

I also think with him there is brozo-barella effect in a sense that if you don't try to run and have a similar work rate like those two you stick like a sore thumb, and he probably realized that early on. That's why you see him running all over the pitch, making sliding tackles, intercepting balls etc... That kinda work was the biggest issue when people talked about his consistency.

 

[bubba zanetti]

It all started after that Bbilan match. His confidence went on another level after that. It was his make or break and he made it. Hope it stays that way he really improved his playing since then.

 

[varmin]

I like his dedication and mentally. He runs, passes, tackles and fights. Totally opposite to careless running of Gagliardini and Vecino.

 

[francesco]

nutmeg goal from a corner, il nuovo recoba confirmed?

 

[Harpsabu]

This guy is absolutely balling. They way he's playing, that's what I was expecting from eriksen. He's playing much better than even barella lately.

 

[Tamirk]

This guy being beast in our last 4-5 matches, thank you bbilan fuckers!

 

[magnesium]

Eriksen reborn after Milan free kick.

Calhanoglu reborn after Milan penalty.

 

[Ethor]

Playing fantastic, far and away exceeding expectations!
