He's very predictable and it's a shame we kinda use him as our main creative source (trololol), but he can still be dangerous, if Conte work well the team movements. Even if he keeps being predictable, he and Pirlo could be lethal and for me he should be considered more of a team player rather than a difference maker. He clearly isn't a difference maker, but his pace could be very useful dragging the defenders with him, running behind them and working for the team.
He needs to step up his crosses, gain some tactical acknowledge, maturity and intelligence on the pitch, nevertheless.
Getting Bastos to play in a team with Krasic and without a guy like Pastore to provide the creativity would be a joke worthable of Del Neri.
