As I said in earlier posts.
He is at most a decent mid. Would not break into the Juve squads of 2015 and 2017.
Has the potential to improve, but not by much.
Will never reach Marchisio level, for example.

He might be useful against the empolis and Spezia of the world, but when the chips are down then we witness his true quality.
Really hope that he proves me wrong against merda, by I doubt it.

Happens when you take the ball out of your best mid's legs to give it to the legs of your worst mid for this ludicrous idea that Locatelli cannot organize play from deeper.
Come on bro. Quality always shines through.
If Arthur is atrocious and loca doesn't look better than him, then there is something wrong with him.

I can't believe some of the comments I read on here sometimes.

You guys act as if footballers are robots or something.

This guy played through the Euros and has managed to avoid injury and carry this shit show of a midfield nearly every game this season.

He's been are only bright spark along with McKennie and I'm surprised he's had the legs to keep going.

So forgive him if he doesn't live up to these high expectations and has been feeling a little fatigue ffs

he was our worst midfielder yesterday, disp. 3 times, 81 pass succes rate and simply not even one key pass.
Yet somehow people keep making excuses for him when even rabit does better in a crucial night.
He is going to become the italian benta . We will keep hoping that someday he is going to explode.

He had 81 pass accuracy because he was trying to actually do something unlike that pass accuracy merchant who passes the ball sideways and backwards.

At least Locatelli was fighting for balls and trying to create albeit not being successful at it. Locatelli's high energy will come good when he is partnered by courageous creative players.

That is the problem Locatelli is not a box to box midfielder nor the timing of his runs but to accomodate arthur in the team we changed his position and clearly it doesnt work especially when rabiot is the third midfielder.
