I disagree. Asamoah was playing very intelligently in his first few months. Looked like the wisest man on the pitch by some distance.
I think people underestimate how much a lack of physical fitness contributes to “dumb” plays.
I disagree, I don’t think that was ever the case even in preseason.
He had better on the ball skill than previous left backs we had yeah, but I never really liked the way he placed his passes.
I think everyone has their own standard of what intelligence is, so I am not continuing this endless conversation.

Some of you are reacting like this is the first time you have seen Sensi play. We know he is a good player and what he is capable of, he has played like this many times. But lets not jump the gun over his performance in a pre-season friendly for two reasons:
What’s wrong with seeing him the first time?

Its too early on him. He is good player and will deffo bring us something new. As i said before we signed him, small but strong, technically gifted woth low point of gravity. Taking the ball off him is hard.
However, its also his first season in a big club, and that big club is freaking inter. He is still young, and its a queation mark if he can do this on regular basis. Its mostly due to mentality. We will see how it goes, but playing in friendlies is not the same as playing in serie a, let alone CL.
If age is not a problem for old players, neither is it for young.
We have played with crapper players in CL, I don’t see a problem especially if we consider this as year zero again. Give the lads a run out this season. Can’t honestly be more embarrassing than Valero being chased to out of breath against PSV. Freaking Atalanta is playing with more unknown factors, so what? Grow some balls man.
We currently have 8 central midfielders, and that is a ridiculous number.
I wouldn’t get anyone unless we are certain we can sell at least 3 of them. Basically I don’t see the point of reinforcement when Nainggolan is standing by to be reinstated into the team anytime.
Anyway, siggraph time, don’t bother replying because I won’t be here to repudiate anymore nonsense.
