Manuel Locatelli (29 Viewers)

[s4tch]

...But when pundits on X say “I wouldn’t trade him for anyone”, you have to admit that this must be some sort of JJ cult player. ....

people lower the bar. look at this team, thuram and yildiz are the only unquestionable highlights, the rest is controversial or just simply bad. and at least locatelli usually tries his best, unlike vlahovic or luiz. so it's all relative to our current team. unfortunately for us, in this current team locatelli is a starter

the whole club should do better. and maybe locatelli would be a better player too if surrounded by quality team mates

this took some balls to take though. the 60m penalty lol

Credit to him for stepping up

 

[Alex-444]

He mumbled like he'd won the universe Cup after the game.

Scoring a penalty against a relegated team doesn't impress me...

I'm delighted that he scored and I respect that he had the balls to take it but it's too little too late. He has been missing all season. Actually he's been missing since he joined the club.

Simply not good enough to play for this club never mind captain the team.

Legend.

As someone who is highly critical of Locatelli, I give him massive respect for stepping up and taking that crucial penalty.

But I really hope next season he isn't a starter. Loca simply isn't good enough and the modern game requires so much more in his position.

At 27 this is his ceiling. Unfortunately, there is no market for this guy.

 

[Adrian]

He sits in the same bucket as half the team..average at best, low resale value...and likely to stick around based on our financial situation.

At least Conte won’t try and make him a regista, I’m almost certain of it. So that experiment will finally end.

 

[Scottish]

Well I still really like him and look forward to an actual manager use him more effectively next year.

I wish Newcastle didn't qualify for CL so we could make a play for Tonali

We need to look at alternative options now

 

[Buck Fuddy]

Most consistent player of the season, together with Gatti.

Others (mainly Thuram & Yildiz) were better at times, but (far) worse at other times.

 

[Akshen]

kudos to him for scoring that pk, i have a feeling if it would be tried by Dusan, we would have totally different narration on this forum.
Loca did score it and deserves some credit for taking the responsibility.
He definitely wasnt our worst or one of the worst players this season, he is the better players bracket for me.

 

[s4tch]

....if it would be tried by Dusan...

not sure what you mean here, just for the record dusan wasn't on the pitch at that time, kolo muani was supposed to take it

yeah i know he wasnt, but i was one of the guys who wanted Tudor to sub him earlier and i just realized that Dusan would probably take this PK if he was on the pitch. I just think he is mentally so fragile he might actually miss it. In the end i can say im happy Loca took it.

 

[Robee]

Could be as you put it , but it shows how average he is . Modric at 38 would put the ball down and find a teammate in that low pressure play.
Guys like Loca just sky's the ball.

Casemiro skied the ball too. Doesn't mean he's shite, pal.

Kelly has also been really consistent.

Agreed. Man Utd biggest signing.

Agreed. Man Utd biggest signing.

Man United is a shithole where prime Messi would go to waste. The guy has won more champions leagues than Juve in its' entire history... as a starter... Goes to show how baseless the arguements are used.

 

[DAiDEViL]

Man United is a shithole where prime Messi would go to waste. The guy has won multiple champions leagues...

He was good, but he's past it for a while now.

I don't recall him sky'ing balls in Madrid or he wouldn't have played for them.
I do recall him getting away with a few red card fouls when VAR wasn't around though , in cl knockout stages.
And as a final argument do you compare real Casemiro to suckatelli , lol?
