Keep him central mainly and a wildcard winger when we need to score. His best opportunity to learn the CF role is with Ibra who is arguably the most complete CF ever.

Mr. Milanista · Oct 30, 2020

That assist makes me shiver every time I see it

Goodfella · Oct 31, 2020

This was the first time he gave the CF role a real try. He stayed centrally, he made clever off-ball movement like a striker, he engaged in aerial duels and tried to be the targetman in Ibra's absence.
The main issue yesterday was the technical parts. Poor touches, too easily beaten in physical duels.
I have no doubts that he will improve on these aspects as long as there is determination.
He has the physique and technique to become Ibra's successor.
But there are still major doubts about his mentality and commitment.

Bottom line is that he showed that he can improve and isn't a Silva 2.0. If he settles as LW or striker doesn't matter in the end.

I hope he is having fast recovery and making comeback vs fiorentina.

Liked what he did at the disallowed goal. Seems like he's not using his speed often enough. If only he'd put the level of effort Rebic does every game...

when did Zlatan jump after a goal like this? -

I think he needs to make himself open more times with the right runs. His contribution today was massive. Great match but could have done much more which speaks volumes about his ability.

Great game, my favorite part was his moment in Hakans disallowed goal. Few players can use their body like that to get away from the opponent.

Jivara · Dec 20, 2020

As with many modern attackers, they normally like to start their career playing on the wings, because they get to see more of the ball and use their athleticism to be effective. At some stage when they grow older, they begin to move to the center because this is a role that requires better position and tactical acuteness.

I don't think that Leao is lazy, I just think that he is confused. When the ball is at his feet, he is almost always dangerous. He needs to realize his potential, he can be the next big superstar if he becomes 'hungry'. He should evaluate himself by his goal scoring contribution first and foremost.

He always surprises me with the way he uses his body. He seems the type of
player that doesn’t have much balance then out of nowhere he comes with a move that requires speed, balance, and explosiveness.

yea, this may contribute to his apparent poor body language too. kid always walks like a toddler who is only just getting his feet wet.

ForzaACM · Dec 20, 2020

Massive talent. He just needs more maturity in his game. Better option than Rebic as CF.

Zlatan doesn't jump high enough in goal celebrations - indicating old age. Pretty simple.

yonggoh · Dec 21, 2020

I’ve not seen anyone so occasionally awkwardly dangerous since nwanko Kanu... which is the vibes I get from him... the occasional brilliance then becomes quiet &#55357;&#56834;

Damn kanu...

Good recall.

Jivara · Dec 21, 2020

Leao moves with the ball in a manner more similar to Henry than Kanu. He is like a gazelle.
