Spot on.
I remember Nedved struggled massively in his first 6-7 months with us. Now I know that Nedved is on another level in terms of his talent and also his mentality in general, but Pjanic is too good of a player to constantly be this bad. We need another world class CM (alongside Marchisio) to lift the burden off Pjanic to let him express himself properly.
nedved had the luxury of the likes of del pie, trez in attack and conte and davids in mid, and montero, thuram and buffon in defense and a coach in lippi.
and he was already boss level at lazio. he was a serie a winner already and wasn't a choker like pjanic.
if he was getting the ball and fucking it up thorough bad passes or bad dribbles, that's one thing where you go "okay give him time to adapt to new teammates and style of play" (this applies to dani alves)
but he goes missing for most of matches. as a mid, especially a "play maker" this is not something that can be easily or ever fixed because of his unwillingness to get involved.
