10 years of FIFNow that's some next level bullshit.
Him being fragile is the reason that he's been left behind and couldn't perform properly in a consistent basis, otherwise he's shown glimpses of brilliance even at Monza.
He was balling here for a certain period as well. Such a shame it didn't last long though.

10 years of FIFIf Darmian is the most underrated (when he first came), most overrated award must be Sensi's.
Guys please watch outside Inter, even in some Serie A midtables, you'll see, what you call "glimpses of brilliance" are all over the place.
Maxime Lopez looks like a Sensi on steroid and he is warming bench in Fiorentina.

Forum Supporter10 years of FIFIt wasn’t just glimpses though. Sensi was dominating games for about two months before the injury.
He had the full package: he could dribble with pace, had a great eye for a pass, was tenacious in his defensive output, moved without the ball to find space for himself, had a wonderful shot and could threaten on set-pieces.

10 years of FIFWhat output? He is too weak, a midget, and can't defend. No muscles whatsoever.
That's unacceptable in modern football. Name me a successful midfielder with similar built? You see, literally 0.

10 years of FIFYour point is completely out of context. Discussion was regarding Sensi's talent in which I replied Nyall's post.

10 years of FIFWell, I am against the "had he not been injury-curse"... Does Lopez have "talent" in your opinion, then what prevents him from shining?
Physicality is the key. Even only from the look, Sensi arms, legs and body size are of women's size. Aren't built for football.

Forum Supporter10 years of FIFYou don’t need to be built like The Hulk to time a tackle or intercept a pass.
Even our current midfield are midgets in footballing standards, but make for one of the best defensive units in the game. Miki in particular is built like a skinny Ethiopian marathon runner these days, but is an absolute menace defensively.

10 years of FIFThere is a minimum borderline bro. I never say bodybuilders are good footballers. But you can't win adults games with children size.
Are you seriously not seeing Mikhy is freaking 10cm higher and THIRTEEN kilos of muscle mass more than Sensi?
Give me first a guy with Sensi size is above midtable. Then I may agree.

10 years of FIFI don't think Lopez is as talented as Sensi is. The latter has great footballing intelligence, nobody could convince me otherwise. Like @Raul Duke mentioned it above, Sensi was exceptional for a certain period. Probably the most creative midfielder during that time before he started to pick up injuries.
Though I'll admit that physicality is a huge factor in modern football but at the same time you can still remain competitive even if you lack strength. For example, Barella's lack of strength is pretty damn frustrating to me, but he's still got many other attributes that will keep him competitive.
And lol @ your last point mate. Some players may look like skinny fucks but they can have so much strength. Remember, mass and strength aren't the same.

10 years of FIFThe point is Sensi has neither mass nor strength. He might sneak space here and there. But throwing himself to the opponent like Barella's he is on stretcher already lol.
And I said midfielder. In such role you can't skip defensive physical challenges, period.
PS: btw Barella is skinny af but still 7kg more muscles. Imagine Sensi

He was effective under Conte's regime (always speaking during that short period). We all know Sensi isn't strong, but he's got some key attributes for a midfielder which made him essential in our team. His intelligence was a key, and then passing, ability to execute accurately with both feet, scoring and assisting. You can't just write a player off because of a particular weakness or vice versa.
Take into consideration team's style of play. I don't even know why are we discussing Sensi's talent. Anyone who thinks he lacks talent is delusional af.

Forum Supporter10 years of FIFThere’s plenty of midfielders his height or shorter: Xavi, Iniesta, Kante, Mata, Shaqiri, Verratti…
This is all irrelevant though, because we saw him performing consistently at a top level before the injury.

10 years of FIFNot height. I said size. You skipped the bold capital part of my post out of the quote, as you know he sucks lol.
In short, Sensi is shining nowhere with his shape. With or without injury.

Forum Supporter10 years of FIFVerratti is 3cm shorter and weighs less. What’s your point?
This is irrelevant because we saw that it didn’t affect Sensi’s shooting power, nor his ability to win back possession.

FIF Special OnesForum Supporter10 years of FIFRight… in my history of supporting this club I’ve never seen a more overrated player..
Even Recoba who was never fit has bouts of momentary brilliance that reminded us of what could have been..
It wasn’t injuries or his fragility that caused him to be shit at Monza last year.. it was his lack of talent
A bench player on a second division team is exactly the role he belongs in

FIF Special OnesForum Supporter10 years of FIFso the manlet who was “dominating” games for us got hurt and the team wasn’t affected in anyway shape or form yet he gets all the credit for those performances? The manlet was a non factor for the rest of the season and the following Scudetto winning season but yall are so insistent that it was his play in those first 7 games and not lukakus goals..
Yall can’t even exist in reality to defend this dude just pure made up nonsense.
It’s wild how he’s the only player in the world to be this amazingly talented individual but magically loses all that talent after one injury..

10 years of FIFI wish my boss has half the generosity of fifers here
Okay he may produce zero output on his work while being highly paid, but it is not his fault as he seems smart.Jesus Christ Conte literally put him on fire for his attitude. Sensi is weak because he is fucking lazy. "Talented" is subjective af, who cares?!?
