Jareth Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 I thought he was on the fringes of the Italian team - not one of the main men - why on earth had nobody else snapped him up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 Not seen this guy play much, but for some reason really excites me. Think he’ll shine in this team. Him and Diaby will link up well. Could start in the right against Palace instead of Bailey. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is....or at least was before we signed him. He's only started 2 of their last 12 games. His performance last night might see him given more time now though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 (edited) Based on how effective he looks off the right.... He's going to replace Leon imo. (Sidenote: pains me to say Leon has been absolute tripe in Jamaicas' last two matches this week - with caveat that the pitch is also terrible) Edited September 13, 2023 by JAMAICAN-VILLAN 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 Good he's got plenty of minutes for Italy in the break, that will get his match fitness up nicely so he should be in contention to start v Palace which will be exciting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was also in several physical battles, lots of different ranges of movement, sudden sprints etc. It's very encouraging to see him unrestricted and able to play fully. Here's hoping that he's over those nasty injuries. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dropped deep sometimes too even though it looked like Spalletti mostly wanted him on the line wide right, I think he's better centrally but he had a good game. Be good to see him start against Palace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another 90 is unlikely. Probably a substitute appearance. Then again - Leon has started twice over this break and might get another start this weekend against Palace. Leon at home is Dr Jekyll. Chelsea away is what I would target for Nicolo's first start. We need his physical presence away when teams want to get on us, especially since we've struggled to break out of the press without JJ and Buendia. He played really well with his back to goal this break which is something that has been missing overall since Buendia and JJ have been out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
