Mario Lemina (28 Viewers)

[Osman]

He and Stuaro worked well together...I saw them double down frequently and that certainly helped us control the midfield.

Pressing game as a unit and zone defending is well and good, but individually speaking Sturaro was dissapointing. It became perplexing to follow and try to assess what he was supposed to add, he barely tackled/imposed himself enough, ran alot off the ball but didnt go forward or join the builds up in any way.

yeah he had a completely different game today than the one against City.

We are unfortunately left guessing until Marchisio & Khedira & Asamoah get back.

Maybe i have the wrong expectations from Lemina. I tought he was a good dribble player (like Pogba) with some good offensive rushes. But today i didn't see any good rush from him. Defensively he did it well, but he was for me way much out of possesion.

YOU DEFENITELY DO.


He is a defensive midfielder with good passing feet, he has nothing alike with Pogba besides hair, and is not an offensive player or skill based player like Pogba.

Both did pretty well but Lemina was involved a lot more.

Lemina playmaked and kept winning the ball. Ref got it wrong many times IMO. Has great potential to become a starter. Marchisio to play b2b if Lemina becomes a regular..

Mandzukic wasn't sharp today, but he fought well and had a few good first touches. Sure, he must improve but he wasn't terrible..

The DM is where Marchisio excells and that is definetly his place when he gets back. I also think that Lemina will be better as a b2b midfielder where he can use hes agression and speed better.

What do you mean with the last part? I think you mean to say he was "un-involved in possession play"? he did have over 90% pass completion rate

Sorry my English isn't that good :$
I mean that he was too much out of position. Didn't make him self on good spots to participate in our possession play.

Got it.

Yeah, he will learn the movements as he gets more time playing.

Forgot to add a minus:

- did not punch a single deck

Can see the potential with Lemina but he has a long way to go. Sturaro and him together wasn't great in trying to control possession.

He looked decent on the ball but made a few bad passes.

I don't like how he always seems to be on the wrong side when tackling. It looks like he is trying to come round the side and steal the ball when it isn't really on and ended up getting easily turned or giving a foul away. I liked how he held his position well though.

give him time. he is a great young player. i thought he was a lil shy today yet to unleash the pitbull in him.

Good first game.

 

[zizinho]

First good game.

 

[Amer]

He and Sturaro shouldn't play together if we have other fit midfielders, and we do.

We're too passive when they're both there.

Still, both of them show lot of potential and will need playing time do develop.

Random post here, his actual face is in fifa 16.

 

[Orgut]

He is good defensively but is he also good offensively?
Our team looked much more solid today but our attacking game is still not good enough

 

[Knowah]

Very impressive debut, in my opinion.

Confident going into his tackles, comfortable anchoring ahead of the defense, quick to get on opponents' counters. Very defensive minded and technically gifted.

Still so work to do in getting him integrated into the offense and transition from defense to attack but overall not a bad display for his Serie A debut at all.

 

[duranfj]

Very good first game. Maybe it would be another great Marotta sign. It would be lovely

[Carlos Primera]

Missed the game. How did Lemina look? Was he like a lion in the savanah?

 

[Albo]
