Is it just me or does he not make himself available for the pass, especially when we have the ball at the back and we need an outlet in midfield? He just hides between opposition players, not giving our defenders an option to pass to. He seems really inadequate in that position in front of the defence.
This totally.

He seems to be afraid of showing himself for the defenders to pass. He cant go on like this if he will play that position.

Holy hell looks so unconfident to do anything.

Tonight he was invisible.

But in recent games he's been making himself available and putting his hands up to get passes. He's looked like he wants on the ball. Didn't see it tonight though.

Don't know what you guys are seeing, the moment he leaves the field we lose the midfield battle.

Literally before he and Fagioli left the field we had 65+% possession. After, we had 36%.

It's the same in recent matches, the amount of work and quality he brings is crucial.

Extremely crucial part of our team defensive solidity and making the midfield tick.
Exactly this.

As reported by TMW, Locatelli was not called up by Mancini for Italy’s upcoming friendlies against Albania and Austria, and it wasn’t due to an injury or tactical reasons. The reason is because of personal issues, something the Juventus midfielder spoke privately to the coach about recently.
Wonder what is going on. Also might explain the inconsistent performances, because this is real life and not FM.
