TheBrownBottle Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 (edited) 3 hours ago, andycap said: He's the Italian captain and was the Milan captain aswell. 1980 Totonero had the Italian FA ban several Italian internationals, including their best player and centre forward, Paolo Rossi - the same Rossi who eventually came back and was top scorer in their 1982 WC win - which I suspect is a bit more important than being a midfielder in the shittest Azzuri team this side of WWII Plus, Fagioli was banned in the same betting scandal as Tonali. There’s no conspiracy against NUFC by the FIGC here Edited April 13 by TheBrownBottle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 April 13 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...

Smal Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
