Miralem Pjanić (29 Viewers)

[s4tch]

he assisted higuain, launched like 4-5 attacking moves, ran like crazy, and actually defended, unlike khedira. it wasn't his best game, his passing let him down (mainly due to the spurs pressing), but i wouldn't call that a shitty performance.

Needs to be surrounded with energetic midfielders or he's a liability

Unfortunately we have Matuidi and that's it. And by unfortunate I mean we're cheap cunts.

He needs to up his game. It's rare you see him pull balls like that and yet Eriksson made it look so easy.

We surrounded Pirlo with Pogba and Vidal, yet the poor sod has to play with the likes of Khedira.

this.

And he needs not one but 2 decent tacklers who can run their lungs out for him.

Until that happens...we are really gating his potential

That much is obvious every time we face decent opposition.

Anyway, it sure is weird how a supposedly great player only shines when the conditions are perfect for him.

Can't expect him to play good if his partner in midfield is Khedira in a CL game against an English side.

How often does Pjanic get into those areas in open play? He's a deeper midfielder now.

Pirlo also needed the midfield build around him, doesn’t make him any less great.

Well said.

this.

its a matter of improving what he has around him...and let him attack and assist... not play as a DM and build up from buffon area.

You're absolutely right. Pirlo did need the midfield built around him.
And Pirlo was definitely a great player.

Shame Pjanic isn't. At least not for me.

 

[Amer]

Yeah, Pjanic is shit.

Khedira rocks.

Stururu also.

 

[Ventus]

Pirlo had Gatusso for Italy and Milan and Vidal for Juve. Pjanic is really good but lacks the fighter in the centre.

 

[Hist]

Holding Pjanic to Pirlo's standard is a bit unfair imo. No one would come out of this comparison looking good

Matuidi

Unfortunately the third midfielder in our 433 is our biggest weakness. We have a lazy useless tree, a permanent hospital patient, a 20 year old kid, or a guy who isn’t even a professional footballer.

I didn't like him today , well i know he is playing with Matuidi,Khedira but he should do better , also he won't play next game .

 

[JuveJay]

I still feel like he is a technically quality yet mentally weak player. Doesn't show up enough in the really tough moments.

Too long at Roma can do that.

Still, playing alongside Khedira in these two legs much have been a real chore, they both severely lack pace, and it was magnified by not having properly fit strikers to take some of the load off.
