Don't understand the hate from yesterday. He played well and his linkup with Lupaq in the first half was superb. He did make some mistakes and mess up counters but he's improving. There were others playing worse but people only like to complain about Hakan

For rnb fans all our moves should end up as goals and all the moves from opponents should be defended. No mistakes allowed. They don't know mistakes from bad performance.

Soldier_of_god · Jan 28, 2019

he isn't bad. atleast he is sort of creative. I would keep him as a backup.

MilanMB · Jan 28, 2019

type of player we need in the squad - he's proven that he isn't a starter to rely on but we can't just send away everyone who isn't, especially if we can't get much money for them. He should stay and fight for his place, we need a strong bench. But an upgrade is for sure needed.

Goodfella · Jan 28, 2019

Paqueta had a worse game.

necromancer · Jan 28, 2019

Paqueta, Kessie, Suso, Cutrone all had worse games.. but RnB gonna RnB.

true this, but:

- He wasted a 4 vs 2 counter-attack
- He ran us out of patience. No matter if other played worse in this particular game, he has a longer streak of being mediocre or worse.
- He doesn't show anything special. Paqueta's performance might have been worse in term of being useful for the team, but he's younger, not accostumed to our team or Serie A in general, and still he shows that he can turn into a very important player.

Mr. Milanista · Jan 29, 2019

People talking about his link up play with Paqueta :lol:

He ruined everything during those plays, I felt so frustrated for Paqs sake...

Never hated this guy, hes a milan player afterall and I stand with him. But his game vs Napoli was probably the worst ive seen from him.

I was high during the game, and I remember a throw in around the fifth-10th minute with the camera zooming in at Hakans face and I immediately burst out laughing and thinking to myself how hes piss scared and nervous :lol:

It's very obvious that Hakan is going through a bad phase.. it's also very obvious had one watched Milan in the latter half of last season that Hakan is capable of a lot - and is the most creative player in our squad.

With Paqueta now to add on to that creativity, it's quite short-sighted and FM-mode to get rid of Hakan. All we need is some patience. I can understand the teens not having it, but the older guys at least should relax, breathe and let him get his form back.

How much of his struggle this season has to do with Serie A teams figuring out how to defend him? He has some technical skill and can pick out an occasional pass, but for the most part every team has just contained him while being comfortable with allowing him to fire from outside the box, which he is content to do.

Milan cannot afford to wait around for someone like Hakan to come good, especially if he still has some value. If he does not have a similar performance to the 2nd half of this first season, then he should absolutely be sold over summer. He will have been virtually ineffective for 75% of his time with the club.

I'd gladly put the 20M he could raise toward an actual LW.

Romagnely · Jan 29, 2019

Why aren't we trying him in a Pirlo role? Nothing wrong with trying. The guy has such great long passing etc. Why would anyone play him as a LW?

not really. his passing is way too inconsistent

he's not horrible, but he needs to figure his shit out. he's been out of form for months

if we buy a good LW and he keeps playing like he's been playing I can't see hakan starting anywhere.

helloAgain · Jan 30, 2019

the problem i have with him is his dribbling ability. it is holding him back. he can't move past players at all and when someone presses, either he immediately pass/release/shoot the ball or lose it. he is good when he has space around him and can dictate the play. right now he is not getting that space at all.

ForzaACM · Jan 31, 2019

Has 6 months to prove himself. Otherwise back to Germany.

We need to see him improve his decision making. Plays with a lot of heart but always makes the incorrect choice of when to pass or shoot, etc.

Qaas · Jan 31, 2019

This dude literally decides our season. Please wake up hakan.

Moggster · Feb 3, 2019

Lol just lol.

Ronin · Feb 3, 2019

I'd rather give the #10 to Borini

Hugh Janus · Feb 3, 2019

Mati Fernandez did more for this club than this joke of a player.

Nalim · Feb 3, 2019

Fabio · Feb 3, 2019

I really like him and his attitude and always defended him but he is really bad at the moment, he needs to step up. literally 0 offensive danger today, from a #10 unacceptable.

AC Kid · Feb 4, 2019

hate this scum

MilanMB · Feb 4, 2019

Wow, just wow... he should get medals for his performances.

I'm calling for Sansiro boos on this one.

you know, sometimes certain players give the coach things we, with our expert eyes, can't see.

Doesn't make it less true though

MilanMB · Feb 4, 2019

He was just so bad yesterday, I'm thinking how is it possible to be that bad?!

Sage · Feb 4, 2019

we can see that he's shit, and that rino is his friend.

it's nepotism or rino is plain stupid, I'd rather believe it's nepotism over rino being this stupid.

MilanMB · Feb 4, 2019

what nepotism, why should that even occur between rino and hakan?

i think there are several reasons to why he's playing so much:

he's shown some form before, we don't have many players with his attributes, we couldn't get a different/better winger.

our LW choices this season has been Hakan, Borini, Laxalt or Castillejo. I would've played Hakan as often as I could as well because the rest are not good wingers either and they won't bring Hakans playmaking skills to the table.

and before you lol at his "playmaking skills", I know they're not great but better than the rest mentioned and before Paqueta arrived we only had Hakan to do some playmaking.

I would like to see a 4-2-3-1 with Biglia and Bakayoko in midfield and Hakan - Paqueta - Suso behind Piatek.

then I guess rino is plain stupid

zero form all season, has been detrimental rather than helpful in any way.

it's one thing to be on average form and "work hard" and another to constantly ruin your teams attack game after game.

our LW choices this season has been Hakan, Borini, Laxalt or Castillejo. I would've played Hakan as often as I could as well because the rest are not good wingers either and they won't bring Hakans playmaking skills to the table.

laxalt is a LB/LWB, he shouldn't be playing there.

borini as much as I love to make fun of him has not been worse than hakan despite playing far less, same with samu who doesn't have the benefit of knowing team/league.

and before you lol at his "playmaking skills", I know they're not great but better than the rest mentioned and before Paqueta arrived we only had Hakan to do some playmaking.

"playmaking skills" :lol:

I would like to see a 4-2-3-1 with Biglia and Bakayoko in midfield and Hakan - Paqueta - Suso behind Piatek.

I would not.

Sage said:
his work rate is immense, but his final 3rd play is often poor, hopefully that improves.

Sage said:
again, very good work rate...terrible end product.

during his "good form" in the 2nd half of last season.

Sage said:
I was going to say this dude needs to heal up and get benched, but then I read bonaventura might be out for 3-5 months.

it's time for him to start learning how to play LCM.

mid november and I was calling for his ass to get benched, he was shit since round 1.

SELL.

MilanMB · Feb 4, 2019

Well, so the question comes down to: Hakan or Borini/Castillejo as LW.

Thankfully, Rino's been making the right choice there IMO.

Again, Borini and Noodle are very limited, Hakan is a bit more advanced in passing and I think that's why Rino chooses him over the other two.

MilanMB · Feb 4, 2019

But we agree in general though, Hakan sucks ass nowadays and the potential he showed last season is far gone. If he doesn't level up to some kind of monster form he should be one of the first guys we replace in the starting XI next season.

Don't think we should necessarily sell him though, bench and use when needed.
