Perisic nearly died tired when Conte subbed him out. Come on you guys can blame him anything but this sub made all sense.One of our best players against Real. Relentless.Cunte fucked himself and our team when he subbed him.
Even bayren that raped every fucking team in that season saw how much uselss he is, not all the teams managmets clowns as ours...football became a joke when this bum won treble. fckn fraud
lost you on: does not lack IQ...He definitely does not lack IQ (to perform as a wingback, fucking Ashley Young can play there ), but he's not performing well generally. The crossing is fucking horrible and that's the only thing he's tasked to do.
he shoots when he should pass, passes when he should shoot, does that same step over and dribble move over and over... Since he's lost his speed he's been exposed, not badly, but enough to render him tame or manageable offensively. It's taken him a while to realize he can't beat anyone for speed, this is why i think he should play forward, he can at least strike a ball well and on target.He definitely does not lack IQ
There's no doubt he's also lost some of his pace and power. This isn't Ivan the Terrible from 2017 who would destroy defenses with his physicality and direct attacking - this is a much reduced version of the player.
That said, Perisic is a smart and tactically disciplined player. Last season proved how effective he can be in the right system i.e. a system where he has a fullback behind him to defend and offer a partner on the flank, especially as a rotation option.
Under Conte, you can tell how the defensive duties and potential weaknesses of the system are on his mind.
He can't bomb forward too recklessly yet he must always make himself available to attack because the wing backs are the only flank players in this system (I refuse to count Bastoni or Gagliardini drifting out wide to be natural wide players). That means at all times he's extremely wary about giving possession away and the opponent occupying the gap behind him.
At times, like against Milan, he's far too conservative and ends up achieving nothing if he doesn't take on his marker. Today was just an exceptionally off game, nothing more. He was making himself available in the right spaces and moving correctly but his crosses were just wildly shit.
Many croatian and english newspapers claim that he is linked with Tottenham and that they offer for him 11m pounds. They also claim that this deal should be done this mercato. Mourinho want him immediately. Hope this is true,we need money and he can't play in Cunte's system,plus he is slower and older. He is regressing badly.
