Ikon Posted Sunday at 10:47 Share Posted Sunday at 10:47 (edited) 4 minutes ago, The College Dropout said: People in the know said when Tonali joined that he wasn’t a traditional registrar that was metronomic with his passing. He gave it away a lot. and we see that now. He’s an extremely high action player. He moves the ball very quickly. Sometimes that leads to sloppy passing where a little patience is better. It’s the one thing preventing him from being truly top tier. The best central midfielders usually know when to slow it down and when to speed it up. Tonali is nearly always going quick. That suits our style but doesn’t help with some of our possession issues. He doesn’t play in the same way for Italy. I’ve watched every game very closely. Think the instructions are entirely different. We have many other players who lose the ball more easily, and that’s without trying the more difficult quick release passes as often as he does. I also remember you saying bits about him when we signed him, despite barely seen him playing iirc. Edited Sunday at 10:49 by Ikon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he does for us. It’s fine no player is perfect. Isak is one footed and has stamina issues. Bruno G is slow. They are still tip top players Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shush Posted Sunday at 17:15 Share Posted Sunday at 17:15 The gears he's going through with us is something special to see. I truly think Tonali is only getting started and will show more and more for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smal Posted Sunday at 17:16 Share Posted Sunday at 17:16 I kind of wish we’d give him a rest sometimes but then he starts sprinting up the field to press their full back when we’re 4-1 up with less than 10 minutes to play and I think… nah, he’s fine.
