He butcherd two chances in the game. He had like 3 to 4 seconds to pass to Chiesa but he just kept dribbling with the head down. Can't image teams like City or Real fxxk up a counter attack like this.
The second one, how can he not be aware of Chiesa being in a perfect position for a shot that could easily lead to a goal. I can imagine Pogba making a no look pass to Chiesa if it was him.
Not saying he had a bad game, but he's not a phase-3 player when it comes to key pass and vision. And that's exactly what holds him back from being a top midfielder.
Rabiot isn't good in the final 3rd? Give him a role which minimises his time there. Dusan isn't good in buildup? Design our play to go through other channels. Weah's general technique isn't great? Avoid giving him posessionin tight situations
Rabiot is good at winning battles in the middle, and physically bullying opposition? Use him as our anchor. Dusan is a deadly finisher when chances are created for him? Make him the focal point of all our attacks. Weah is fast as fuck? Look to generate counters on his side where he basically needs to make 3 touches maximum, including his cross.
Yes many of our players are below or just below proper top class, but a good tactician would have this squad playing at a higher level than the sum of its parts. We have the pieces for a very good team.
