1st thing that must be done is to define Palladino´s position. When he plays several matches in a row in the same position he might show some consistency. Poor guy is being swapped from one to another position every match. Define his role and train him to do that. People forget how good he was in several matches 2months ago. He might be very useful.

exactly, but considerations have to be made for the team first and thats why he was swapped around.

i still think he is best as a support striker, he doesn't have that level of intelligence to be a proper playmaker and his crosses aren't that great for a winger.

Dominic is right. Palladino isn't good passer. And giving one assist doesn't mean he's good passer. Even Viduka was giving assists last year.
But we haven't really seen him pass from the middle of the field, he is always placed wide and all he tries to do is to cross and he is really bad at that as well.

What has he shown to be given a Pirlo role? Excellent technique, and touches, but not exactly shown signs to get that kind of re-modelling. It just seems desperate attempt to find him room.


He will either stay as backup, leave to improve, or show star quality enough to good enough starter for us. The latter is the most unlikely, despite me wanting him to succeed.

:toast:

i agree, he was playing great football before the international break! he is a support striker IMO but was doing well as a left winger. but last weekend he was forced to play as a right midfielder, so it was obvious that he wouldn't play well there.

u never know...even Pirlo didn't know the "Pirlo role"...sometimes a player needs an opportunity

You never know? Thats the best you can do? Ok...Criscito is our next Del Piero :D

Pirlo was a PLAYMAKER upfront, as AM, Ancelotti made him a deep laying playmaker, he changed his position, bit lower down the field, but not the fact that Pirlo was a playmaker, thats irrelevant to his exact position.

Palladino is somewhat technical and free roaming forward/shadow striker, but not much of a good passer (thrives more in having the ball at his feet), especially longer range passer which a Pirlo role thrives on. In fact, why are we arguing it...Palladino is not a playmaker, period.

What you think?
Please discuss Abu.
She's got the face of a girl you'd wanna marry. Nice, sweet, polite, doesn't cheat, kinky in bed...you're only screwed when it comes to housekeeping, I suppose. All in all, very nice.
