but somehow they chose to freeze a screen when it looks like it was a handball...
wtf was he doing though? looks like volleyball movement
the ref was right to disallow it... what would you be saying if our opponents did that?
he moved the hand away quickly. you cannot blame him for something he didn't do.
any chest control can look like handball from certain angles. ref should have viewed from another angle.
Obviously you're missing something as pretty much whole Italy sees Kessie as a good investment. I'll try to not waste any time in trying to explain the basics for you.
3 years on, still more garbage than kucka.
Had a strong feeling Italy never knows what they are talking about.
The fact that you kept track of that comment What a great exhibition of a small dick.
Kessie has been starting pretty much every game for years and is probably the one player we've got that's been linked the most to the most overspending league in the world because of his characteristics. Even with a less fortunate outcome and with 20/20 hindsight vision his purchase can hardly be considered a horrible deal.
There's even been times where our midfield completely crumbled in his absence but today things are different. The team is different and enough time has passed for us to be able to draw more reasonable conclusions about his development, don't forget that he was very young and in a completely different context, adding value differently. Although his at that point extraordinary physicality was essential before it's not enough anymore. One could've hoped that he'd develop some basic attributes over the years but he hasn't and his poor passing is hurting us more now than ever, hence this whole discussion.
But please do continue to dig posts written a thousand days ago and write snarky comments about other's nationality, and even then still manage to be wrong. It doesn't ooze little man syndrome at all.
keep the tank.
I keep track of my own comments, really.
It's always nice to go back and review what I wrote to see if anything has changed or it has become conventional wisdom.
I see it's become conventional wisdom that he isn't very good and "whole of Italy" was wrong.
Lol @ trying to justify spending 30 mil on a guy who can't pass, defend, shoot as not a horrible deal in hindsight because he can run every week and fail at both ends of the pitch.
This was evident under montella and rino as well btw. He was new under montella who everyone hated so his lack of skills were ignored and rino for the most part had a decently organized defense so his failures didn't hurt us as bad.
He's a flop signing. But maybe not the worst flop signing. That honor belongs to Silva, caldara, Conti and maybe now Piatek. The latter 3 with similar big hype around "whole of Italy".
Idk, I'm content enough about a likeable Milan player who's proven himself more worthy than his fellow MF's throughout the years and arguably didn't even lose market value to not call him a horrible purchase.
