I remember many discussing here during the summer that Koop would be the ideal attacking midfielder in Motta’s system, aside from that i’d actually also add that we could have deployed Yildiz in that role just as often though, so wouldn’t necessarily look at it and say that Koop was forced to play there, but rather was the coach’s preferred choice.
I remember in the summer repeatedly asking what does he do and what does he add. Each and every time I was asked to wait and see. How long should I wait? And what is there to see?
He is now misused?
Of course the naive blame Motta so that they keep their beloved Napoletano criticism free.

Nonetheless, from a more tactical point of view let’s say the main reasoning why Motta insists on him in that position is because he is efficient with his pressing in the final third, as well as being perceived to have a very good shot in him on his day, which adds again to the reasoning behind playing him closer to the opposition box.
But still, seems to lack in everything else that is required from him to be effective in that CAM role, including currently being average even at things that he previously was good at, which means something needs to change.
