Not just him, but this has been a shitty start of the season for all our Italian players. Cambiaso got a red card on match 1, Di Gregorio is conceding so many goals and doesn't strike with confidence in the box, we can't win anything when Locatelli is on the pitch, Gatti is shit, Miretti is injured, Perin not fit, Rugani is not getting a single minute.
Yeah, but look at these stats:

Win rate with Locatelli as a starter: 100%
Win rate with Loca starting on the bench: 0%

Average points per game with Gatti starting: 3
Average points per game with Gatti on the bench: 1

:grin:

Wonder if passes to other team is counted as a successful pass. Might be why best passing mid in Italy. :lol:
I will quote and respond to your question here because it’s something i genuinely kept track of to try debunk the stats theory.

Yes, Locatelli sure attempts a lot of forward passes and is probably top in those charts, but accuracy wise it’s a different story, but even there he is top despite misplacing a bunch of them, that’s because many times the long or short forward passes he completes it don’t matter if they are the wrong weight, velocity or simply worst available option as long as it touches another teammate first despite him getting caught unbalanced and dispossessed the very next second, in stats it will show that it successfully reached another Juve player, therefore stats can be deceiving.

we chose him over Barella, Verrati and Tonalli?
How many years do we need to understand that he is just not good enough for this team?
Why is he the captain, he doesn't even have seniority.
30 mil was a wonderful opportunity to cut some loses, try a youngster there and use the money to buy Tonalli next summer
