You still think he is finished, @Lion?

yes. i hope he proves me wrong by having a great consistent season, that's the only way i will accept it. a game here and there won't change my opinion

Great way to start the season, looked very determined out there, i think it’s probably not that far fetched to say that him staying fit and in this kind of form will be crucial to us having any serious Scudetto ambitions.

 

[Mr Chocolate]

Wasn't sure about the move to striker, but with the fluid front 2 (from this game at least) it makes sense, good for him to be on the ball and a threat as much as possible, his finishing and positioning will only improve

If cambiaso and Miretti can keep driving inside than that lets Chiesa find space outside a bit more. I don't think he's an SS still

 

[RKid1]

Honestly I had my doubts that he'd ever get it back.

He looks SO sharp. The key to the whole thing

I had/have no doubts. I talked about my ACL recovery from college in this thread so I can relate to all of Chiesa's struggles (especially mental) last year

 

[Rockets]

I have only one complaint. Pls don't do knee sliding for celebration if it'll increase the risk of injury.

I loved to see it. It showed me his knee injury is behind him, physically and most importantly mentally.

Trust me, he wouldnt even think about doing that 6 months ago, just out of fear.

But yeah, I dont need to see it again either lol

 

[Bianconero81]

Love this dude. If I were to resume watching games, he'd be the sole reason.

 

[magician]

I want to know people's serious opinions here, does he fit as an SS? I personally don't think so, he doesn't have close ball control, vision and passing range capabilities enough to operate there especially against closed defenses.

He can only be an AMC in the mould of Nedved, not a Zidane or Totti style AMC/SS.

"I wanted to do the knee slide as it had been a long time since I'd last done one," joked Chiesa, who has suffered a series of knee problems, about his celebration after drilling home his second-minute opener.

"We played very well today, especially in the first half. That's how we need to play, a modern style of football," added Chiesa.

"We have to go out and get after teams, we can't just sit back and play on the counter."

probably nobody does, you wouldn't have guessed that this dude played in a 3-5-2:

This is what I loved, we were playing a lopsided hybrid unorthodox system yesterday which I'm pumped for because our squad is a confused mess, and because that's what the old Allegri excelled at.

 

[JuveJay]

If we can have him for a season and Pogba for 60% of games (lmao, I know) it would make the world of difference to our season, their quality is so high.

 

[cimenk]

Looking on this celebration, I quite worry with Chiesa before. Vlahovic hug him too hard

I think that we’re still quite static upfront. Everyone seems so isolated. Chiesa all to the left, Vlahovic alone upfront and no real right winger. I’m probably a bigger fan of a traditional interpretation of the SS role. We really need a extra reinforcement on the midfield to make things more fluid or finally some luck with Pogba.

Ya that's what I mean. We had runners into the CBs so he didn't have to do it and could find space to get the ball facing goal.

But eventually he will have to do regular SS duties because our opponent will be stronger

Someone yesterday suggested Samardzic in Miretti's role. I think that would work well but could block Fagioli. Maybe Fagioli could take another step this season to link the attack better.

My heart skipped a beat when he slided on his knees when he scored. He needs to stop that.

If he played in Saudi League his name would be Federico Moschea
