The first two times he touched the ball and they turned out shit everyone knew that it was one of those nights and that the match was heading to where it did.
Not sure if thats such a mistake. The problem for me was that he didnt score, its not a bad position to take a shot from. There was also a risk that a pass for Dusan wouldnt pan out
Should have probably done better on that one but needless to say he created it all by himself and overall did seem to have a good angle to take the shot from, which is what mostly everyone would have done in the same situation…
He lacked a clear head tho and clearly needs to do much better, has to be smarter in his decision making because moments like this can decide the outcome of a game.
He is regressing IMO, his last season was nowhere near the season before if this one is also that bad then we can say age got him. I don't like what he is showing lately, he has those dreadful passes every game, but IMO would still do good as a wingback, because great cross is still there.
So I know that it's symbolic anyway and we don't have figures like Alex, Gigi or Giorgio to wear it anymore, but seeing Cuads throw the armband on the ground instead of passing it on properly was kinda...I dunno...disappointing?
He might pop up with the odd assist or goal now and again but he is finished as a winger. When Di Maria and Kostic are fit he should not be in the starting line up.
