8 | Mateo Kovacic - 2023/24

[Deleted member 77198]

Why the fuck have Chelsea sold this lad?

Doesn’t carry any threat in and around the box whatsoever… but in midfield where he’s linking-up, keeping the ball, carrying the ball, reading play and intercepting the ball he looks fucking mustard and it makes up for the lack of goal threat.

We won last night in huge part because of Kovačić’s qualities in midfield mastery.

Who knows but that fuck we bought him early in the window and didn't leave it late

Wow this guy. Makes you wonder why Chelsea sold him.

Kovacic's quality is very obvious.

But if you think that he did very well in this game you don't understand Pep ball.

His lack of positional awareness and rhythm are the main reason why the attacking was out of order in the first half.

He contributed a lot in defense but his movement is not quick enough to close the gap. Again I am not blaming him. But after watching this game, I guess we will definitely buy Paquetá because Kovacic's profile does not fit in the attacking midfielder role, especially the left eight role in our current system.

Dear me, that is just shocking analysis for someone who alludes to a greater understanding of the game!

Brilliant last night and not for the first time. With KDB out until around Christmas, this guy that can help us to another league title.

Think applejuice was on the white lightning before he posted that tbf.

 

[Sir peace frog]

i can see him hitting a few long range goals,apart from that, they only compliment i can give him is he looks like he belongs with the champions of england, the fa cup holders and champions of europe, slotted in seamlessly

Well CFC were absolutely nuts to let this guy leave for a pittance, we will get 3-4 seasons of quality play out of the lad.
