There has to be a reason behind Pjanic's sub-par performances. It could be an injury, an awful form or the way he is used by Sarri. If it's an injury we need to rest him. If it's awful form which lasts for months now, then we can't just wait for him to miraculously regain form. If it's the way he's being used by Sarri, then the coach will have to give him different instructions.
It's not up to us to solve the problem. But when I'm trying to find the answer why isn't Sarri solving the problem, I can only come up with two worrying conclusions:
a) He's stubborn and he will continue with his original idea which clearly isn't working.
b) The plan B or C were tried in training and are giving even worse results.

We are just too static it doesn't help anyone

Our off the ball movement is atrocious (bar Ronaldo)

I still think Pjanic needs to be moved up the pitch with more freedom though

Didn’t Sarri say he’s too slow for that position?

Not sure, I don't agree though, it would just move our possession higher up the pitch IMO

We are far too deep most of the time

The only movement Pjanic should do is out of the club. He's unathletic and already reaching his 30s. He's a lost case IMO.

he's been going downhill since the last international break. he started the season in a good form, then returned from the nt with a minor injury, and never recovered. he's been playing through injuries with allegri too, but in those cases, allegri either replaced him after an hour, or found the way to rest him through rotation. pjanic is overused, sarri has been already warned about it by the physio staff.

remember the game vs spal? it looked like pjanic finally got some rest, the ramsey, bentancur, rabiot trio had a good game, the match was under control, then sarri, who knows why, subbed pjanic in, who got injured a couple of minutes later. someone tell me WHY?!

As long as he has 150 touches I guess.

An injury is the only acceptable excuse for his laziness. Everything else is BS. The guy shows no fight in him, doesn't matter what system we play. He's straight up lazy.

 

[Snobist]

I wouldn't mind if he's sold for over 40m, or straight swap for Jorginho.

and a huge complainer on the pitch.

 

[Gian]

Timo to sell, 60M and I’ll drive him to the AirPort myself

Bentancur Tonali Pogba pls

 

[AndreaCristiano]

I also think it's time for him to go. He isn't the same player anymore and he's one of 6-7 players I would sell

 

[Snobist]

No team would pay 60m for him. All they have to do is watch Juve games.

60m knowing his form and paratici's abilities as a salesman, we'd accept any offer over 30m. that would be still a nice plusvalenza over his current book value of ~13m.

Pjanic has one major problem imho - strength. It shits all over his balance when he tries to control difficult balls, while being physically pressured by the opposition. I haven't seen many players that had the cold blood mentality of Pirlo, but he was stronger than the bosnian too...

When you have a ref that allows more physical play or is simply sub-par Pjanic is out of the game effectively. People can easily see our best player last night was De Ligt - because no one from Lyon even tried to play physically against him. We could have played him as a DM, effectively allowing our wingbacks to go forward (3-5-2) and we would have beaten them at their own game.

Another problem he only passes back to Bonucci.

Definitely. The most we can get for a 30 year old pjanic is 30m. I guarantee you that and I'd be happy with it.

 

[Bianconero81]

No. Just no. Fuck Jorginho. We can and should do much better. Also, bringing in Jorginho means chain smoking cancer stays, and that is absolutely unacceptable.

Not necessarily. Our market moves are done totally independent of our coach. Geniuses that our management are, of course.

That's also true, but please no fucking Jorginho. Another overrated hack - a less lazy Pjanic.
