Jash is just not it.
No wonder Amorim prefer Musah.
Musah is barely decent & i would still gamble on him playing better than Jash.
What makes you think he prefers Musah to Jashari?
Jashari can play with Modric. A Musah-Modric midfield won't work.

Who told you he was a playmaker out of curiosity?
Do you want him to be Steven Gerrard or something? Excellent in all aspects of a midfielder and carry the whole midfield on his back?

He's one of the last to shit on and one of the few that deserves a spot.

I'd be more concerned with how shaky our defence is when they breathe on us. And that's been a familiar theme in pre season too..conceding goals from complete unforced errors.

I'd take De Winter off for Gabbia..
RLC off Rabiot
Cisse off for Pulisic/Alexis
Moreira for Estupi but switch him to the right later when Chuku is blowing

I give Cisse some credit that in all his failed attempts that his confidence hasn't stopped him wanting the ball. Makes me think he must be hungry and have confidence. Remains to be seen if he has more ability in delivering a good final ball though.
Every time he gives a halfhearted indication to the cbs, they ignore him because he’s not properly showing for the ball. He doesn’t make an effort to move away from the nearest Torino player to receive a pass. That’s just in the early build up, he does the same thing in the middle third. Count how many times his teammates ignore him when he gestures to them to pass to him. He’s too passive.

You can see the difference when modric is on the pitch, he immediately creates angles to receive the ball and wants to be on the ball to dictate play. Don’t give me the excuse that Jashari can’t do this because he is also completing his defensive duties, that’s a part of his job description. He’s barely doing anything to progress play besides playing two long balls. Let’s be honest, he’s not adding anything to the midfield.

Cisse has the crossing and finishing skills of a hamster.

What does Musah offer?

The possession play and pressing is almost peak Barca level although with some garbage player. We played well considering we played with one less player and I do mot mean figuratively. Estu did not pit a foot right, he can not be that garbage. We need attacking quality and game changer. As good as Ramos is he is not the player to break that deffense

Then let's judge Jashari more when he's next to Modric
Hopefully, he can offer something this season when he plays with modric. It didn’t make much of a difference under Allegri but we’ll see when modric comes on.

Replace the left side with either two of Moreira, Salad and Puli and will cook this Torino team.

Grass is bad. Torino had to intervene to make pitch ready for this game, they got ultimatum from FIGC. Ball is bouncing all the time.
