He needs to sort his finishing and focus, otherwise he was superb. Pretty confident he'll improve. Some people needs to have perspective and not condemn too quickly
That attempted first time hit and miss on the 64th minute was unforgivable. It's a good thing we won and it can be forgotten but he needs to get some experience.
He played quite good but he's finishing was all over the place. Nothing but normal. Max knew since day one, Pjaca would be the big surprise at the end of the season (well, Asa returning to a professional level it would be a close call)
Plenty of annoying moments imo, good intentions doesn't matter when screw up, not only chances but quite few touches and decision making. Hardly great performance as some here said, more annoying with a slice of good indications.
Lacks end product COMPLETELY. Other than that he is pretty good, but that's a big thing to miss lol. I was mad at Allegri for playing him so little but obviously he was right when he thought he wasn't ready. He is our only natural back-up to our front 4 so if he keeps playing as average as he has in all his matches then I don't see him having a bright future here...
A lot of his wrong passes, bad timing and poor decisions come down to lack of confidence.
And that's due to virtually no playing-time. The guy's been playing 3-5 mins here and there, ever since he came back from injury, for God's sake.
He has the potential and I'm sure will only get better.
Yeh have noticed this too, most of the time he is away from the play or in places he shpudnt be when we are in possesion. He needs to always try to be available for a pass on that flank. Needs to press more when not in possesion too.
Still, i think he got it, needs more time and mentoring.. But above all , minutes
The only shocking finish he had was the first time one on the cross from Alves. I can't remember any others. The other finishes he missed were quite narrow and he had the right idea in front of the goal.
Just a week ago, he finished very calmly against Porto.
We need to see much more of him before we can make any decisions.
A 21 year old needing time to adjust to Italian football is not big news right now, but the fees to get talents is such now that players arrive with more pressure.
