Nicolò Barella

[Fapuccino]

This guy is the closest thing we have to an old school number 10. More withdrawn obviously, but his assists/goals are indispensable.

We're almost always toothless in attack when he plays like shit.

His best match this season, appart from his yellow card, he was great from start to finish. This is the world class player we want to see.

 

[Fapuccino]

Lowkey a great game.

I'm curious as to the percentage of yellows he received for us and how many were for dissent vs. actual fouls. He has two yellows this season and both are for dissent.

Was thinking the same. Lautaro also got a yellow for telling the ref to give a card to a Benfica player.

It's good that they are so passionate, but I've seen it bite us in the ass. Especially Barella.

Not sure about this, but Lautaro's challenge on Neres was quite rough, so I think yellow card was for that.

I thought he was the one fouled, maybe I'm misremembering on what game that happened.

Lautaro went for a rough tackle on Neres, and the latter one kicked him unintentionally in the face (while being at the ground). At first sight it looked very bad, but from replays you could see that Neres had no idea where Lautaro's head is, as Lautaro was kind of behind him. I dunno, to me looked unintentionally.

I want to sign a Sicilian to go with our Sardinian and have an islander clan

Time to eat the bench.

 

[varmin]

Barella is trash since the start of the season. If he do not improve later, maybe we shall accept every 60+ offer, if a such comes.

 

[Irequis]

He has more whining than running or creativity in this match. Perhaps we should attach the captain armband around his mouth so he puts more work rather than ranting.

 

[Ethor]

Barella has been off the boil, does some clever passes occasionally, but hasn't been that impactful of late. Is him playing nearly every match for Inter and Italia taking it's toll?...maybe

 

[Besnik]

Biggest disappointment so far.

 

[bubba zanetti]

I dont know right now what he offers to the team, except bitchin to ref or running like headless chicken. He cant assist, cant score,wtf is happening?

 

[Ethor]

Biggest disappointment so far.

Tops the list for many along with Bastoni and Hakan and really have no idea why tbh.

How is Hakan a disappointment? The guy has been solid af in all these matches he featured. Even in last match I thought he was actually quite good in the first half, besides of it, he assisted first goal.

Not so much intensity in the second half, but he was still not as poor as some others.

Agree, with some what you say, but his free and corners kicks are not up to snuff imo. His defensive play remains great.

Agree about freekicks, but I actually think his set pieces are still amazing. With an exception of Lautaro, the rest aren't as deadly in aerial ability. Dzeko isn't around anymore, so that makes us very limited at set pieces.

Hakan had delivered some incredible long passing in the box, but sadly execution is rather poor. For example last match he gave a golden opportunity to Dumfries in the first half, but finishing was terrible.

Holy smokes, we are both discussing Hakan, in Barella's thread!
