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.

I said when we signed him the stats suggest he gives the ball away a fair amount. 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

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.
