If he made his play tighter he'd be so good.

Still so rough around the edges.

He'd have an excuse if he was 20 but considering he's 31, he really should be performing better.

I always tell myself that he is still very young every time he makes a mistake, but then the camera zooms in on his face.......

His run in the box made us score the first goal.

He's our engine, i guess he will be better with experience.

The guy needs to work on finesse in everything he does, on and off the pitch.

Excessive, wasteful, blunt, and dull.

He was probably out of steam so he did not celebrate the winner with the team. I could let that go.

Missing a PK at the 90th minute is tinpot mentality. No excuse. He was lucky that the game was won. This should haunt him every night in his bed until he's got something called:

F-I-N-E-S-S-E

Because no top player has ever missed a penalty ever

No :fp:

But not celebrating a goal sometime means the player is more focused on his personal performance (if i shine i can get a pay raise or transfer next summer) rather than the team results.

This kind of players are only happy when the team wins due to their contribution.

No one is implying or thinking this is the case of Kessie anyway.

Kessie is great but still needs to work on a lot of things.

Then he is not great.



He tries to be Pogba too much.


I would actually like to see him run with the ball more often. I feel like he limits himself by playing too simple.

Probably the best player on the pitch yesterday. He's a wonderful player.

It's sort of a silly comparison but there are some unique similarities between Kessie and Pogba in how they're both able to move forward with the ball seemingly effortless thanks to great athleticism.

I used to downplay the scepticism of his decision making in the final third but I just recently read that he's the midfielder from the 5 biggest leagues with most touches inside the opponents box.

Imagine if he could become more clinical, that'd be a really reliable attacking card for our deck.

Summer finishing-school please :o

more like radja, vidal or essien than pogba, he doesnt have kind of flashy style and creative from pogba, but has much higher work rate, strength and defensive skills

Disappointed in his technique. Molto impressed by his grinta. He's the extreme opposite to Pogba, bar the few similarities.

Considering he plays every fucking game, no rest, Id say he has had a good season

Expect even better next season with work on his final ball

Not even close IMO. Hakan had a stretch when he looked absolutely useless.

I would even say that he's probably one of the most consistent performers on the team.

He had good but he also had terrible games. Needs to get competition for his place and rest.

He is better playing further forward, He will learn to be more accurate in the final third.
