You are joking, Bakayoko can only go upward. and is still a relatively young player. I think he has been a start in CL caliber teams already.
Idk about you but i like him and his play style alot. He is like a magnet for lose balls, has incredible ability to steal the ball without foul like its nothing.
Also seems very likable as a guy, he never complains about fouls never talks with ref, even after yellow cards or bad decisions.
One of my favorite players already

His dribbling
The ceiling here is scary... did you see him unleash rockets with his left?
Let's be honest Bakayoko has been very good as of lately but to say he is the best player from us (or Suso) during this season so far, it is just laughable IMO (very important.) Kessie has been more influential than Bakayoko so far.
Also, Gigio and Alessio have been probably the 2 best things for Milan this season so far even with their fuckups.
Baka has been better than kessie ever since the Juve game. The guy does everything, last game shouldve scored
How can you be an all round midfielder if you can’t pass or shoot to save your life, or you are so unaware of your surroundings that you turn directly into trouble multiple times per game.
Bakayoko’s strengths:
- dribbling
- destroying (due to sheer physicality and not positioning or awareness)
Weaknesses:
- awareness of surroundings
- ball control
- passing
- shooting
- decision making
- positioning
What is it that you guys are seeing that makes you think he is or can be a world beater? Yes he destroys small teams players with slow decision making?
It'll cause riots if we don't redeem him. Player of the season so far.
Bakayoko has been better than Kessie ever since I can remember tbh.
Didn't watch the last match but I can't remember Kessie playing well, just infuriating
good at dribbling but bad at ball control? how does that even work? positioning and awareness is the first thing required to be a good destroyer. he is not headless like poli or samu or even cutrone at times running around contributing nothing. shooting his weakness? he hasn't taken many but looked okayish when he did. passing is somewhat questionable. haven't really seen him making decisive passes(long or short).
Ball control in reference to first touch. Which, when you compare Kessie and Bakayoko for example, Kessie's is usually fantastic and Bakayoko's takes the ball feet away from him which is why he has to dribble so much.
Positioning and awareness is what someone like Busquets or even Biglia uses to break play up. Cutting off passing lanes, anticipating where the ball is going to go and beginning to make a movement in that direction. It is a proactive method of breaking up play.
What Bakayoko does is react to what is going on around him and reach areas due to sheer ability to cover ground. He has no idea where the ball will end up, but once it is near his zone he runs to win it back. Completely reactionary.
Now I think there is a place for a destroyer like him in the squad, but he should never be a starter for us if we truly are a team with CL ambitions.
His immense coverage (thanks to his long legs and gazelle-like moves) reminds me of Van Bommel. You place Bakayoko in the center of the pitch and he will cover a significant rectangle of space around him.
