Really odd to pay attention to him during games. Cambiaso even tho still possess technique and good short passing really since Christmas break and long layoff, plays like someone who is just waiting for season to be over.


Content to just put in anonymous performances til then.


I really wonder what occurred to have him mentally check out like this? Because before then he was a guy who was not allways consistent, but ALLWAYS was eagerly trying to be focal point and creative hub of the team from fullback position. Constantly asking for touches and driving things forward.



Now its yet another half dozen appearance where friggin Weah was more useful from fullback position?

Thought he had a good game overall.

Tactically he brought a lot and played a big part in our first half performance by pressing high and adding another option in midfield. Suddenly Locatelli looked more like his early season form and the team had more time on the ball.

Still hasn't learnt that you can't try to be fancy in your own half when there are no defenders behind you.
Literally what opens up the game for us, when he beats his man in our half… nobody else does that for us… one of the few good footballers in the squad, I wouldn’t sell for any price but likely that he would fetch one of the highest prices for anyone in the squad

Not a problem to do it at the right time. But when there is no cover whatsoever behind you, you can't try tricks to open up the game.

There are players who want to play for the manager

There are players who want to play for the club

There are players who just want to enjoy playing

There are players who just want to play to win

There are players who just want to play for themselves

Then there are players who just want the game to finish.

I know he's getting shit atm but the only times this team resembles playing some sorta football is when he enters the midfield and turns his marker to advance our buildup otherwise it's just constant recycling and sterile possession nonsense at the back with the play eventually ending up wide for a hopeful ball into the box.

Players dont just turn into shit overnight. Injuries havent helped him...like so many others under motta, he is generally struggling.

Should we have sold him? Yes...those rumoured offers were massively over what he is worth every day of the week.

Completely irrelevant to the topic on hand- but I love your ava and your custom title.
