I don't know why everyone is writing off quaresema, he is still a threat, especially against moli
I rate Quaresma as a talent and the threat he can pose, even defended him against Inter fans who wrote him off after his first bad game. But how his being now is nothing new, he is a extremely skilled player, but one who is DUMB AS FUCK. He has NO idea how to use his raw talent, and is in his own little world, he plays his own game in the middle of the game. Quite oblivious of what goes around him, and hence WAY off in general output because he is too dumb to realise its a team sport.
He can have his moments of doing normal team player stuff, but so far in all games, I have seen him, and yeah, I really get why Mourinho had that outburst about him and keeps subbing him out in half time after all those games he started him and gave him a shot (has been a liability). He is an insanely daft and frustrating player. If he just sucked due to lack of talent, it would be fine, but he is useless so far because of like of basic football brain (He was the same in Porto, they tolerated him because his raw talent alone justified letting him be in his own world out on the pitch).
He will be benched against Palermo for sure, its already confirmed, Mourinho has had enough of starting him everytime only to take him out at half time because he is so counter productive in cooperation with his teammates. So yeah, this will pretty much mean he will be benched against us too probably, because to start against us, he will need to impress against Palermo if he comes on. And I really doubt that.
Either way, benched or not, he wont be much of a treat, because football is a team sport, and until he realises that, he wont be much of a treat to us.
