I like him. Scored a very typical poacher goal today and you know that when a cross comes into the box there is a pretty good chance he'll be all over it.

The perfect player to be on the pitch when one man down. Together with Bonucci at the back we might have gotten something from the game.

exactly. should've kept him on.

Careful, this might be considered idiocy around these parts.

Definitely Pirlo was the man to go out. He is shid.

Llorente could have offered us at least long ball and crosses chances.

But seriously... WE NEED SOMEONE WHO CAN CROSS WITH CONSISTENCY

What happens to Quag now that another striker scored in the CL?

 

[Ahmed]

Aside from the goal I thought he was pretty bad first half, controlling of the ball well off, needs sharpness.

Even so, the goal instinct was there, which is the most important part.

yep, all bases covered in these 2 posts.

i think his ball control was fine. needs some more time to gain full sharpness but as far as i can see, he deserves to start.

 

[JuveJay]

It certainly wasn't fine first half, which is basically the entire time he played. The ball bounced off him notably 3-4 times during decent team moves forward, his attempted cushion header to Tevez in a good position was far too heavy. One of the few times I remember him controlling the ball well was on his chest where he then laid it off well.

It's obviously harder to play as a CF and keep the ball close to you than it is in midfield with space, but you could see his reaction to a couple of controls that he wasn't happy with himself.

 

[Red]

Like the Fiorentina game, you are just getting glimpses of what he's capable of and how useful he can be.

Needs a run of games to really get properly up to speed.

 

[JuveJay]

I don't doubt that. This sort of thing from a proven player is down to sharpness. It's good that he is still contributing even not at his top level.

 

[Hydde]

Indeed. he is an experiment worth of the time to be invested.

How long would it be an experiment?

 

[Rufio]

Needs time to adapt to the team, but he brings elements as classic big forward that we need.

I'm not sure if I should be skeptical or not

 

[Bianconero_Aus]

Love his hold up play and his link up with our other players. Good reaction for the goal.

Forza Nando. Punish these fuckers when we play them next.

Until Conte deicdes to stop benching him maybe?

 

[Lion]

he will own sergio ramos in the next game.

Funny how Conte doesn't think Matri, AIDSman or Quags needs experimenting
