Highlight of Perisic vs Chievo

 

[Jassa]

I don't understand his deployment. Tactically, I'm for the most part clueless, let's be clear, this is a post of trying to understand rather than assert knowledge. But from what I understand Mancini wants his playmakers to stay in tight and let the overlapping fullbacks bomb down the wing instead (i.e. Telles), with Melo dropping in as the "bully" to assist the CBs if possession turns over. But that deprives Perisic of exploiting his key skills. From what I witnessed of him at Bremen, he is a good natural winger. Oodles of pace, good crossing, high workrate. But I don't see the point if Mancini bought him to shoehorn him in a system that asks him to play more centrally than at Bremen.

But presumably that isn't it, because I don't believe Mancini would spend 3 months pursuing a player to buy him and then ask him to change his role. What am I not understanding here? What is he up to?

I dont think he played for Bremen.

I dont think he played for Bremen.

Wolfsburg...Bremen...both have green shirts, I get confused blivious:

 

[Adriano@10]

I really think that mancini s idea is to give both jojo and perisic kind of a free role behind Icardi. Imho we could allready see this against chievo with both of them beeing all over the place. Anyway the problem here seems to be the understanding of the two often they we re occuping the same space and thus making it easy for the chievo defense.

Perisic is very important player for any team to have. He almost never loses the ball. Good playing forward and at defending. Very quick and good stamina.

 

[Big Willy]

He was OK for me, ran all over the pitch and shows some sparks of class. Let's hope he becomes more important soon.

 

[Ronin]

Worked hard today but it just didn't click attacking-wise. He wasn't in sync at all with Telles.

 

[Rimpel]

Perisic and Icardi haven't found each other yet, Icardi always seems to be somewhere else when he's crossing.

 

[Pharaoh]

He almost never loses the ball.

This is my favorite part about him. He maintains possession even when he gets a shitty pass and gets suck in a tough situation he figures a way out of it. And keeps his head cool. Doesn't try to do a crazy guaro cross or shot from 35 yards

 

[Devious]

You havnt seen anything yet, he is still settling in, I partly blame Mancini for taking so long, but he's getting there.. once he gets involved in a goal, you will see his full potentials.. so glad we signed this guy.. but so far he hasnt deserved every penny in K-dog's way.

 

[Armes]

guy's showing real progress adapting. i liked him today.

 

[dragonman96]

Just another podolski

 

[thatdude]

He's far more athletic than Podolski. You can't leave any space behind as a defender or he will exploit it and get his cross in. You guys can say he only has one move, the stepover and push, but has it failed?

Just another podolski

PERMABAN PLEASE!

 

[ED 8661]

if you guys remember Pavel Nedved, it's probably the answer why mancini has the idea of playing Perisic in a central role. one can dream.

 

[Batman]

If you guys remember Pavel Nedved, you remember a cunt.

 

[Efrain21C]

No one going to say anything about his magnificent game today against Fiorentina?

 

[b4h4mooth]

Overated, 20 M is to much for him.Ljacic should start over this dude, i see more spark in ljacic play than him.

 

[Wallace]

Give him time, the time frame is six months remember.

It isn't even a month since he joined.

 

[thatdude]

Needs to adapt to Serie A. You can tell he's used to playing in a league with more space. Needs to soften his touch.
