Verratti as an example of a creative mid but not Pjanic.

Yeah Pjanic wasn’t creative at all and was primarily defensive. That’s why he spent half his career creating further up at Roma and Lyon. And then became a deep-lying playmaker here. Lol
what a troll
Pjanic plays too deep for our needs.
Under Max, we always lacked creativity and the ability to create and execute an attacking plan.
We dont need a new Pjanic, we need a new ZZ.
Pjanic is the link of our defense and midfield, we need a link of our midfield and offense.
We dont need a player in front of de ligt, we need a player behind Chiesa.
This is what we lacked under Max. we were one dimensional, heavily rellied on Cuads and counter attacks.
Pjanic played too deep to provide the strikers.
As a team we couldnt push forward effectively.
DMs players play too deep and they do not connect with forwards, forwards without a constant feed rely solely on their speed and stamina. Such a team rely on counter attacks and or long balls.
80% of the serie A teams rely on defense and defend all the time with two defense lined, they dont push forward so that they let spaces for counter attacks.
Under those teams, we either completely overwhelm them, or just wait and hope that the goal will come, by individual brilliance, a mistake, or set pieces.
If Inter can find an eriksen, Napoli a hamsik, Lazio keep their SMS, Roma the good Pellegrini, etc we are the only team in serie A failing to find one and rely on free unreliable players, whilst sending our entire budget every year one Mediocre DMs...
This has been happening for a decade now!
We ought to know better, how many times do we have to repeat the very same mistake to know better than to expect a different outcome?
