I think Biglia is a stupid but somewhat understandable move, the response time of Pioli knowing it’s a stupid move will probably be the true indicator for me for what to expect from him in terms of player choices this season. So this is a good test he’s put himself in.
Piatek for me doesn’t get any proper service, I am 100% convinced in that, is he lacking ? yes, he’s lacking etc etc etc but he was still lacking those last season, maybe there’s a certain frustration because we expect the players to grow in experience and work on themselves which is not apparent here, but how would I know that when he doesn’t get the ball ? Or when the whole system flawed ? In that case have any of the players showed any improvement since last season ?when I see him standing in a somewhat good scoring position and the players choose to try and score themselves instead of passing to him, I just have to give him excuses. last season was different, when there was (or at least to me) this attitude of “hey this guy is coming to save us in the front” and all the players were passing to him, he scored much more goals and was much more comfortable, but it seems like the likes of suso and Kessié have reverted back to their old ways. Last match, the screamer miss he did was actually assisted by Romangoli, that’s kind of an indicator.
