32 | Maximo Perrone - 2023/24 | On loan at Las Palmas

[twosips]

Twosips? I'm surprised he can't see Perrone's potential. That's a big swing and a miss by him for me...SMH

It's literally not true lol. I don't give him a lot of shit at all, so not sure why he's worded it like that. I just say he's obviously still just a talent who needs time and maybe isn't quite ready for the first team yet, whereas he is saying he should come back and start which seems a bit too much.

Did he play as a DM or more advanced position?

Basically as a DM in a midfield 5. They played a 4-5-1 and he was the middle man in the 5 playing a bit deeper than the rest...

That makes much more sense, lol...It's the reason I put a question mark after your byline. I found it a bit odd that you would flat out not rate the kid.

Meanwhile he held up very well against a top La Liga side yesterday in what was IMO an overdue starting role...Atletico is no easy assignment for even the most seasoned midfielders given all their "tactical" nuance. Many people in Argentina compare him to a young Fernando Redondo. If he develops into anywhere near that level of player we'll be very fortunate to have him...

Ok that makes more sense and I guess since you're always responding to comments really fast on your channel, it seemed like you had completely written him off as a joke.

I think he needs to bulk up to play midfield in the PL so he's not pushed off the ball but the talent is there! Even in preseason could see his line breaking passes and trying stuff to get balls through to Erling which we've struggled with at times.

I've got my fingers crossed this kid makes it and City are the beneficiaries of his immense talent!

Looks really good. Nothing spectacular but as Pep says, "the hardest thing in football is continually doing the right thing." Or something like that ;)

Max started for LP @ Osasuna. Watched the first 30 mins - Max played poorly, one mistake almost gifted a goal. The whole team was playing poorly tho, so he could turn it around, but I had to give up at 0-0 and do something else.

edit: Ended 1-1, both goals coming after Max was taken out at 58m.

Max started against Pellegrini's Real Betis, lost 1-0. The goal was kinda his fault, stupid turnover under little pressure sent the counterattack in for a goal - maybe I'm being too harsh tho. Didn't think he played very well, was yanked at HT. Last 2 matches I've watched he's been disappointing, imo.

 

[neel]

would he have future with us

Max is starting for LP vs Barca in less than an hour, fwiw.

And he played a decent game too.

With him and Aleix Garcia on the radar, it shouldnt be too difficult to find midfield rotation next season when we lose Philips.

And he played a decent game too.

Going just by a hazy memory ... over his last 5 starts ... first 2 bad, gaff-prone, yuck, yanked in both starts ... next 2 okay, eliminated the gaffs at least ... and lastly a MotM-esque performance vs Barca.

The way he played vs Barca reminded me of when he and Velez stifled the Julian/Enzo River team over 2 legs for a 1-0 agg victory in the Copa Libs 18 months ago.

Having said all that ... he is and will always be the least athletic outfield player on any field he walks out onto for the rest of his career. Having declared that tho ... LP just played 90 mins of high line defense against Barca with MP effectively ensconced between the center halves in a line of 5 at times. Barca were offside 14 times.

I had the same observation and it could make it difficult for him to make switch to a PL regular. But I also remember thinking similar about Douglas Luiz while at Girona and he's doing alright.

Thd most athletic bring those who do cartwheels. Weeeeeeeeee!

Las Palmas back to winning ways and up to seventh with their 3-0 home victory over Villarreal. Perrone has now played 90 minutes in each of the last 4 games.

Watched most of the match, Perrone was in a rocking chair. About the most uneventful 90 mins you've ever seen for a DM. He had a 90% pc rate and just jogged around in position making himself available for a bump.

no ball recoveries or tackles?

 

[NikT]

Seems to be playing full 90 min matches now and Las Palmas are currently in 7th so it's good for his development. If he keeps developing physically he will become a great backup for Rodri for us in the future!

 

[Blue_Lightsaber]

Played against Real Madrid today:



Anyone have a better idea of his performance?

Didn't catch the game but saw this on Twitter.
