I went to YouTube to watch vids of Locatelli and went down a rabbit hole of watching vids of the guy that built the glitter bomb to catch package thieves then how he ended up catching scammers in India

I mean...what :lol:

Agree he has great qualities. He shields the ball really well and is hard to knock off it when he has possession. It's a shame in injury issues b/c he needs consistency and our team needs it too.

I believe Pjanic needed to go, he wasn't getting younger or better so in that sense we won the real b/c we got a younger player with good qualities he just needs to not get injured LOL

meaning he was a STARTER for us and in return we got someone we thought was going to start but is never fit to play.

Let me clarify: I said bench because he is rarely healthy, not because he isn't good. Pirlo clearly liked him early on because in preseason he said his build up play was fantastic (or something like that) so we know Pirlo likes him but he can't get him and keep him healthy.
Pjanic is finished, it was great to move him for value

:shifty: He has 8 yellows already this season in Serie A and last season he got 9 yellows. For comparison Bentancur has 5 yellows thus far this season.
How many yellows turned into goal conceding opportunities against his own team?

Expand...how many of his own tackles were the result of him actually getting back the possession he just gave away?

Locatelli averaged 2.5 tackles per game to Bents 1.9. His tackling is much better than Bent's anyway, I'd take the higher yellow count simply b/c he is the better player.

I'd imagine Locatelli is forced into more defending than Bentancur due to the team he plays for.

Looks like the last time Locatelli got a red card was actually against Juventus. in 2017.

Dunno, don't watch Sass frequently enough. Simply pointing out that pretty much every single midfielder playing in a deeper position tends take yellow cards. It's not a not negative although Tuz would like to believe so. I'd be more worried if the DM in the team didn't take yellows by stopping potential counter-attacks for example.
