I think he has huge potential but aren't you overreacting a little. He has been good for sure (surprisingly good defensively) but I'm still looking for a little more end product. So far he's had 1 goal, a couple of shots and some passes to our other midfielders. I'm still looking for those killer passes that I know he's capable of.
Yeah, I want to see more production offensively, too. So far he's been going through the motions of completing passes and supporting the attack, but he can do more. I think he may also need to show for the ball more.
I think Del Neri should try playing him infront of Marchisio and Aquilani, giving him more attacking freedom. The same position Pirlo used to play it around when he first started out.
he didn't showed nothing but +average since he came here...but there's so much left from the season it's early to throw rocks...(use sticks, right nick? )

I think this is what is asked of him though staying back and giving us some possesion. I think its good because we use our flanks alot so he moves the ball horizontally alot. I like the way he is being used right now because our defense still isnt good enough to play vertical and defend with less numbers. He will difinatley grow into a more complete player for us and get more responsibility as we go on throughout the season and hpefully seasons to come with him but for now I am glad he is getting on the field.
This is the problem we have had in recent years we will put players on the field with roles with lots of responsibility and they cant handle it from the start instead of giving them reduced roles and working them in. I think it happened to Melo last year.
I just noticed that our shorts have yellow numbers, these don't match at all with the away jersey. The look good but the numbers should not be in yellow.
