Antonio Nocerino Thread

[Shiby]

Did you play?

 

[nuttela]

he accidentally got involved with a parma player who was about to score

silly noce

i love the guy but his religion plays for PSG

 

[sushanmilano]

Worst player in the squad and he starts . FML

 

[Armin__m]

Allegri`s favourite

He runs a lot, but isn`t nearly agressive enough and is never close to his man.

 

[Nikfes]

Awful performance again. I hope he doesn't step on the field in Russia.

 

[belloefamoso]

Sacchi: how player nocerino??? He isn't a footballer!!! No agresive, no vesion... But allegri is stupid coach to put him on the field

 

[benjamin]

I love you Noce. But let's continue the trend, and sell you to PSG. We can take Sissoko in return. Win win situation

 

[Ham3t1899]

Mesbah is the worst player in this squad followed by Nocerino,Traore,Constant. We should trade all 4 + a biscuit + option to buy for a great midfielder. PSV please accept this offer.

 

[benjamin]

I don't think it's entirely his fault that all three midfielders are defensive players. He's a B2B player and no one can provide those good passes for him to score.

Scoring goals shouldn't be his main objective.

Maybe someone needs to remind him.

A B2B as in moving from one Serie B club to another, yes.

PSV has much better players for those positions.

I don't understand why everyone's saying 'this is the real Nocerino', 'last year was a fluke' etc. Why are his bad performances any more real than his good ones? Just because he played better when we had someone in the team whose style suited his own doesn't mean he's suddenly terrible now. He just can't play as well as he did because circumstances have changed.

Also there is no way on earth he is worse than Traore or Constant.

 

[Eccolo]

Because if you look at what Nocerino has produced over longer time you wouldnt say that last years Nocerino was the normal Nocerino. He had scored like 3 Serie A goals prior to last season

but that's the thing. Noce is just very badly suited to our current tactics/style of football.

Noce is at his best making frequent, consistent, central runs from deep, feeding off creative forwards (Zlatan, Cassano).

unfortunately, that is pretty much the entirety of his niche. he is not a creative midfielder like Montolivo due to his poor passing and vision, not a defensive midfielder like De Jong because he has below average tackling and marking/tactical awareness and not an dynamic attacker like KPB because he is not fast, strong or has good technical skills and dribbling.

he is struggling badly to find a place in our new, more direct system. living off past season's glory.

that said, neither Constant nor Traore seem to be any better. I'd prefer Ambro and NDJ to start as double anchors with Monty pushed further forward.

Sure, but he had never played in a team which suited him so well before. Zlatan was the perfect team mate for him. That doesn't mean it was a fluke season, or that it doesn't reflect what he's actually capable of. It means that he needs specific types of player to bring out his best form, and without them he is much less effective. It's not like he's suddenly become horrible.

I agree that he isn't working very well in the team at the moment, and he seems to be suffering a lot from the loss of Zlatan, but I don't think he can be criticised for that. He's still working really hard, trying to help the team as much as he can and trying to be effective in the way he was last year, but he can't because last year's team obviously played very differently.

I'd say last year exposed his strengths while this year (so far) is exposing his limitations. That isn't his fault though and while I'm definitely not saying we should build the team around him, I don't think it's fair that he's getting so much hate.

Agreed that ideally none of he, Constant or Traore should start (with Noce in his current form anyway), but of the three he is the one I would choose every time.

How can you say that about an ex-Juve playmaker

I don't know about the hate, but the calls for him to be benched are more than justified.

thin line between hate and criticism.

 

[Monsieur]

Less Nocegoal and more Nocerinho please.

 

[Zafira]

He has fooled many people, Milan fans, Prandelli, Allegri, B&G, EA Sports.

No matter what you write , it doesnt justify him starting over montolivo/dejong, urby or even flamini. Thats where he gets the hate. You think any of us would be pissed if his ass was parked on the bench which is where he deserves to be? No . He has fooled that halfwit allegri and milan is suffering because of this. In the current system we need to play the other mids.

but not sachi ,arrigo told last year that milan needs to wait and see is nocerino taht kinde of player and he told after parma game that he is one of most overrated players in last 10 years. agree compltyl

 

[benjamin]

I didn't say he should start over Montolivo, De Jong or Emanuelson (although I think Emanuelson is better further forward than as a mezz'ala anyway). I would probably choose him over Flamini but it would maybe depend on who we were playing.

It's not his fault if Max starts him, so I don't see why he gets hate. He hasn't fooled anyone - he was impressive last year, so he's playing this year. He didn't trick anyone, and he's played with a huge amount of heart in every game which I respect a lot. I have no problem with people not wanting him to start - I don't even think he should start really - but I don't understand why that turns into hating.

 

[nuttela]

Noce should play centre forward

 

[Ash]

wait wait wait....so just because he managed to score 10 goals last season people think he was a revelation?

Have they already forgotten the numerous shit games he had last season itself? Or are they just blinded by his goal scoring stats?

 

[jonijoni]

yea yea i agree with you people...
after i saw milan game against parma, then i surely understand your thoughts.
this mr. nocerino didn't make any impact and i didn't even notice that he played until i read sunday newspaper.
