Point being made that Kessie is rated only because he scores goals..

those pesky players who score bunches of goals...what are they thinking! :lol:

Someone at one point said Bazoer is more proven as Kessie only had 1 season experience with Serie A.

To be fair to pubes....i had some doubts about him as well because his performance in the second half of the season dropped quite a bit after AFCON. I didn't take that into account when watching him and he looked lazy to me.....he wasn't lazy, he just wasn't at full fitness after AFCON

Pubes just exaggerates for attention reasons, but Kessie was certainly not at his best second half of the season



I had also doubts about him because of those average 6months, but then I thought he stepped up the last match he played against us. From that moment i wanted him, but I still didn't think he would have been THIS good. Absolute beast

Kessie is less proven on a top level though. Isn't this his first Serie A season? You base his consistency on what, 11 games in the top flight?

Bazoer has a lot more experience under his belt, including UCL

:lol: it was actually mario

Not throwing shade but a lot of people didn't rate Kessie.

Mario is wrong like many others, his opinion evolves which is healthy

some others don't change and get stuck in the vulture zone or ask to permaban themselves

Kessie: I want to make history in this new Milan. It's a pleasure to play for Milan. It was the right choice. I'm very happy.

Had a good laugh reading the post by pubes. What a legendary poster. Now I know it's really him.

Wow his performance after his mistake gives me even more confidence that he's the real deal.

I like how he stepped up after being horrible for more than 55mins.

Had an average game and made several mistakes. But then he just turned into an animal for the final 30 minutes of the game. such an amazing reaction and shows us the type of mentality he has as a footballer.

Had a bad game but he's young and will grow from this.

:thumbsup: Honestly, I think he was a bit affected by Barella's hard foul on him being a no-call. Then iirc he got booked for a hard foul.

Towards the end he started improving. I think having Biglia at regista calmed things down a bit for him.

he wasn't booked for hard foul though. he was stupid and aggressive after ref called foul. hopefully he learns from this game.

He was partly responsible for the goal but Donnarumma in my view should not have played him the ball where he did and our defenders could have positioned themselves better to prevent the goal.

He also had a goal harshly ruled out for little more than being stronger than his opponent.

how is it his fault if donna decided to pass him the ball when he was surrounded by 3 players ?

he shouldnt have given them the ball as i know hes capable of protecting it but unnecessary risk to take by dollar

Both are at fault but Kessie could have easily cleared it away and avoided any danger.

Instead he tried to control it and move forward with it.

He shouldn't be making those runs to get the ball back...it was so obvious what was happening 3 guys closed him down. Anyone could see that pass a mile away.

That was montoleaders job...but oh well he was busy up the field attacking + he tires in the second half - so its all good.
