gbandit Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 Who are his best mates in the squad do we think? He needs a Joelinton like Bruno has. Which up and coming Italian talent could we sign to buck his spirits up? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaqen Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 I think that midfield 3 is really difficult to come into if you're new as well. Because of the lack of a true 'anchor' or 6 it requires a fair bit of covering and rotation. He's been having to try to adapt to that in a language he doesn't understand and barely being on the training pitch. The switch in the second half yesterday to a much more conventional system made a big difference. He didn't do anything groundbreaking but you could tell he wasn't second guessing where he was actually supposed to be anymore, was getting on the ball alot and looked really comfortable until he gassed out.

andyc35i Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 Saw him at top speed in a few games recently and I thought to myself blimey, he’s quick. It’s those recovery runs he makes for the team that will be important going forward Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure Tonali wouldn’t be running as fast with a lid and some pads on. I noticed the other day how quick he looked. But I didn’t expect him to be showing up on anything like this.

Cronky Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 On 10/10/2023 at 14:35, Chapo said: Chasing after his first touch Expand I'm kind of glad you said this. It feels like the elephant in the room, and I've not had the nerve to voice this myself up till now. His first touch doesn't look good at all, which isn't what you'd expect of an Italian player. That's not to say he doesn't have something to offer. He may be like Kieron Dyer - pacey, quick feet and good stamina. Dyer was a bit underrated on here, and of course he had massive injury problems. But in terms of our expectations of Sandro, we may need to adjust. We're not getting a Pirlo. As the guy himself said, more of a Gattuso, though he needs to adjust to the physicality of the Premiership for that to bear fruit. And of course Dyer was better going forward than defending.
