He just has zero composure when he has to make a decision in the final third.
I'm not sure how much composure has to do with the two most irritating things about him in the final third.
One of them is the selfishness. If he's in or near the box then he's going to try to fire off a shot someway somehow, even if it's from an extremely poor angle and there are teammates in much better positions that he could make a simple pass to.
The other one is his horrible finishing. Horrible, horrible finishing. Which combined with his selfishness becomes extreeemely irritating. He's not just failing to score, it typically won't even result in a corner or a rebound.
You might attribute that to lack of composure, but I think it's more simply the shooting technique and anticipation that's lacking for the difficult moves he tries to pull off. Everything's done quickly, on routine. No hesitation. No switching to stronger foot. Fire off the shot quickly, or dribble past the nearest defender and shoot immediately afterwards.
This is what the deadliest finishers do as well against the best of defenses - except they have the technique to pull it off. Kessie does not. Especially not with his left foot.
Final passes that don't work out can be tolerated, but this selfishness and poor finishing combination though...............
