Kristjan Asllani

[wera]

If dude stays here and isn't too pissed off at being a bench option, I think he might have a really good career here. He is showing real growth. Either a bit more work on tackling or maybe a bit more strength workout and he'll be golden.

 

[bubba zanetti]

Didnt fuck up anything and thats a great news.

 

[dax21]

Worth mentioning that I liked his half-time interview, he looked calm and composed and gave me the impression that he was in control of the situation despite some very tough duels. Ref allowed for a fairly open game in terms of contact but it didn't seem to phase him much for a guy who could use additional pound or two of muscle.

 

[varmin]

He had a very good game imo. Great assist to Lautaro, and his flick to Bisseck for the 2nd goal attack was great as well.He had an opponent on his back, and the pass toward him wasn't perfect as well.

 

[Jnr]

Its Lecce, but he can be trusted. These are the games to throw him into. His confidence was rockin' today!!

 

[Raul Duke]

He was terrible in that first Sociedad game, but has looked great ever since.

 

[Ethor]

Pretty decent outing for him today. Playing against lower table teams is good for his development for now.

 

[thatdude]

He was terrible in that first Sociedad game, but has looked great ever since.

To be fair to him a lot of teams struggle with Sociedad. In hindsight that was a game for experienced players. We didn’t know what we signed up for when we started our CL campaign there.

 

[Dave54]

Good game, great assist.

The next game, against Atalanta, is going to be the biggest game of his career, because there is a 50-50 chance Hakan won't be able to start.

I'd rather see Inzaghi giving him a chance than putting Barella there. Let Barella play in his "normal" position.

For some reason I thought all this time he is 24 years old and about to turn 25 in March.

He turns 22 in March. He has had some amazing games as a 21 year old.

21...

And mind you, Buchanan is 25

And mind you, Buchanan is 25

Same age as Carlos Augusto, and I dont know what to feel about it. I mean I feel he's like 22 when I don't see his face, when I see his face though he's 30.

 

[uny_arturo]

With Hakan’s injury and Asllani getting the opportunity to play with the A team against Atalanta, we’ll have a good idea on how much he could replace Hakan in the long run

 

[Dave54]

He should do fine.

 

[#NotForMe]

First of I think he had a good game, even his teammates was not working to his favor in the first half.

There is one aspect I think that can help him tremendously if he is able to increase his stamina and onwards the running distance, basically kept opening up like Brozovic and covering more grounds in defending; that was the biggest difference when Barella came on, like midfielders are supposed to be the extra man everywhere in a basic sense.

Hot take:
I actually think he might be a better traditional #10 (or a final third player) than Hakan, but Asllani is not better/ on par as a deep laying playmaker or the role they are both playing at Inter now. (Hakan only has shooting power and more refined techniques over him as a #10, but in terms of others attribution Asllani is quite natural for it)

He should thrive in a game against a team like Atalanta, given if his teammates trust him enough and play their role and make their runs, just like the pass he makes to Bisseck in the last game, there should be more space for the others to attack in short.

 

[Damageplan]

I am still not feeling this guy but he definitely improved so thats encouraging. The fact that he was able to progress and gain confidence is big. I am first to criticise but also praise and he deserves props for how he stepped up.

 

[RickyMaravilla'sRightFoot]

It’s really tough for me to have a strong opinion of him right now. He’s clearly good for being 21, but I’m not quite sure if he can hit his full potential here because he needs to be playing, but while Inzaghi praises him, he doesn’t trust him enough to give Hakan the odd rest (for now). Instead we see him when Hakan can’t or shouldn’t be playing, or when the match is deemed less important than the others following it.

 

[Gaindé]

He's going to score very soon and that will give him a lot more confidence. I like how he plays he's very young but has a lot of quality both in shooting and passing. Playing regista at 21 is not easy!

 

[wera]

He was almost sent on loan and he declined, so he really needs to prove he deserves to be here. Inzaghi seems to like the little dude, but I do wonder if Inter will again try to send him on a loan this summer.

I can see that happening
