Henrikh Mkhitaryan

[ath]

What a masterclass. I'm honestly at shock. What a fucking player.

Has he ever played this good in his career? What a fucking signing for us!!!!!!!

I mean he’s had a very good career but what he’s doing at 34 is very impressive.

 

[Besnik]

And people were complaining because he plays too much or Frattesi needs to play ahead of him lol.

What a player. He was dominant in every area. Scored and also created for others, to not even forget all these balls won and his creativity up front. My guy is just essential to Limone's Inter.

Never tired, absolutely never shaky. Grande.

 

[junkie]

fuckin grande

3rd year in Dortmund he was a beast. But he was a lot younger.

His stint in the EPL was very patchy (comparable to Guarin at Inter) but he’s killed it everywhere else he’s played.

Even at Roma, he was their best player. He outscored Dzeko the season we signed Dzeko and also topped the assists IIRC.

My profile of him (and Dzeko) when we first signed them has aged well think.

As someone who’s watched him a lot, I think Miki can be an excellent squad player, provided he stays fit.

PROS:

Versatility: He’s played everywhere from defensive mid to second striker. Though he’s most suited to playing behind two striker.

Directness: He plays with his head up and is always looking to pass the ball forward. If the team moves around him, you can trust Miki to spot the runs. Despite losing his explosiveness with age, he’s always relied more on game-smarts.

Attitude: Miki is the classroom goody two-shoes. He’s going to work hard, do what the coach says and not cause any issues. IIRC the guy has a law degree, speaks half a dozen languages and basically has no personality whatever.

CONS:

Age: Obviously.

Confidence: He’s great when he builds up momentum, but he can be slow to adjust and I can see him failing to adjust as a bench option, especially if age becomes a factor.

Turnovers: He can be prone to trying high-risk plays and causing turnovers. And while he can often dribble out of trouble, he doesn’t have the speed he once had.

On the whole, I think he’ll do well if he stays fit.

Maybe this was his best match with Inter's shirt. That pass to Frattesi was the cherry on the top.

He used to do a lot of those passes to Auba in Dortmund and playing for Arsenal.

Miki has always been solid, but tonight he was just on another level. The guy has 4 lungs!!!! Hope he stays fit and continues playing like that for a long time for us. Both he and Thuram are MoM.

 

[bubba zanetti]

And you want this guy to be benched? Really?? Most consistent midfielder since he came here. The Boss.

 

[Gal]

He used too be class, he showed a bit of that tonight but we probably should not expect he can do that to the degree and consistently as he once could he is 34 years after all..

But I think we definitely need to rest him soon as it’s a long season ahead

 

[KevinB]

We said the same thing last season. So far he's proving the majority of us wrong again. Silent killer, hard worker, brilliant game.

 

[bubba zanetti]

Only 15 pages for this guy, Asllani has 26. Hillarious.

 

[bubba zanetti]

Where's the Armenian dude who was trying to argue he isn't an injury risk?

STOP SIGNING AGING PLAYERS ON HIGH WAGES

Well, this aged well.

 

[crzdcolombian]

Before the season I thought he was over the hill. Very happy to be wrong. Man of the match.

I was pissed when we got him since everything from Roma is utter shit but man…. Beastily

Have to tip my hat off to him was defiantly wrong

 

[ADRossi]

Well, this aged well.

Would you like me to start churning through your post history?

 

[uny_arturo]

How on Earth did he manage to play 90 mins every game!? ...and play so well!?

Take a bow Henrikh.
