He wasn’t as bad as people make him be. He started the game quite well imo. Als the first 15/20 minutes of the second half he did well.
Isn't that the best time to see him though? Like the Verona match.I hope I dont have to see this fucker anytime soon when we need a goal.
Goals threat, driving forward, good headers but technical inept and such.
Unfortunately that's not only about Frattesi. Our players tend to make a lot of wrong decisions specially on the counters. They either play too cute, keep the ball way too long, shoot when they should pass, pass when they should shoot, choose a wrong direction to run and choke themselves in a tight angle, and choose to cross when they have space and time to make a better decision. I have seen these happening so many times from several of our players. We need to fix this. It's not solely down to our lack of pacey players.So many occasions tonight he was close to doing something really good. However he continually made the wrong decision in the crucial moment. The good thing is that he should improve in that aspect with more playing time. However, you do have to question his ceiling. When you’re playing against the truly top teams you’re going to need to improvise under pressure to maintain possession. He’s never going to be able to do that.
The part of his game we won’t be able to improve is more so the technical aspects which for a top level midfielder are obviously lacking. The only outfield player in our squad with less technical ability is Dumfries.
Still he can be a lot more effective in our system than we saw today. The team does need to anticipate his runs a bit better. He was open a lot today. However we are more of a circulate possession type team so a lot of his runs were wasted because we were passing backwards. A Klopp or Conte would love him. The team is going to need to adjust a bit to him and he a bit to the team.
I like the guy, but let's stop crying that he doesn't get starts. His best role for THIS season is super sub who can be a goal threat. Hopefully he can learn to be a starter for us next season.
