I’d like to see Locatelli in his Sassuolo role as a CDM who is also responsible for taking the ball and progressing it forward, but not in the Pirlo/Pjanic regista sense of controlling and dictating the entire tempo of the game.

Give me:

Locatelli-Rabiot
Fagioli
AdM-Vlahovic-Chiesa​

Replace Rabiot with Rovella next year if we’re broke, or sign a top CM to play beside Locatelli if we aren’t.

Rovella to replace Locatelli and if by some miracle Pogba becomes fit, he replaces Rabiot. All depends on how Rovella progresses tbh. Locatelli was killing it with Sassuolo when he was the same age as well and he hasn't been able to make the step up imo.

first half was meh but he really grew into the game. Allegri singled out his second half in his presser, calling it "superb." Couldve had another assist when Vlahovic hit the cross bar. It feels like Allegris trust in him is growing. Nice to see him play a full 90

Growing a lot. We should trust him for next season as well

He played an excellent second half imo.

Thought he had a great second half. Some nice passes and he got himself involved alot wether it was by showing for the ball or making tackles.

our worst player in the first half, and not even those dirty fouls chiffi ignored can be used as excuses. rose to the occasion in the 2nd half, he pressed, ran a lot, i only missed some of his quality passing. needs to be much more consistent and confident on the ball, if he wants to play a marchisio type of role then he should improve a lot in possession

Very similar in style to Barella hopefully he keeps on improving.

Barilla? Nah, he lacks that Grinta, de Jong maybe

To see a young player from our young team having succes in the first team…

This kid is probably the hope that I have left from our current situation.

need only 15 min break to turn from Parepiss into Modric

even in his bad days he is fucking fire

Yep.

He was awful in the first half tho. But really damn good second half. Unlucky not to have another assist to his name.

One great aspect in his game is his ability to win free kicks. His first touch and close control are really top notch and help get him (and us) out of trouble when we are being closed down.

What changed for him to have a better second half? Any obvious instructions? Positioning or was it an adjacent sub that changed his duties?

It would be good to understand what situations, role, instructions allow a player to thrive.

Awful for his standards I agree, but in his defense I will add that he had few stupid calls from the referee in the first half. There should be a yellow and foul on one on his drive forward. He got whistled 2 or 3 interceptions as fouls, when he didnt really even touch the opposition too.

Why was Pogba idolizing 14 yo Fagioli tho

Maybe he was not in sync with the game. In the 2nd half he started flowing
