He is being wasted playing deep. His ability to push forward and score is evident. I always think back to the Euros...the game he scored two goals, his passing etc...what a game that was.

You can see he was hurt and bleeding after we fell to 3-1, earned a yellow and then just gave it all, thankfully he made more forward runs and showed urgency. There was a moment when he dived to win a tackle but he missed, it happened few minutes after he scored, that would have changed a lot of things. He will get better but so grateful we got a player like him.
The recognition to exploit the space in the box left by romas poor defensive organization was something none of our other mids are capable of either.

Hopefully Arthur - Loca becomes a good combination. Right now Loca has to do so much work, and it’s easy to press him for the opponent as you know Rabiot and Bentancur won’t create. It causes a lot of problems for Loca and his passing gets a bit off, as spaces get very tight

Would’ve been nice to see him around the box a bit more due to his height he’s able to head the ball and he’s probably our only midfielder who’s able to score from distance.

Another great match, unlocked too when Arrhur came and Locatelli pushed forward. Been saying it since the links with him started. Locatelli is not a regista, he does better as a box to box or a mezzala, very good at creating attacking moves.

Hopefully Rovella joins as a proper regista and frees Locatelli to go forward more.

Top player, always looking to play progressive passes.

There was a pass he played in the first half to Kulu down the wing which was superb.
