The most important thing bar none for an attacking player is your decision making. I hardly saw a worse decision maker yesterday. Zaniola needs to learn how to look up when he gets into good positions. He has ability but he needs to be aware of his surroundings. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the first 10 minutes he struggled with that, but still looked fast and direct. I thought he then settled into the game well. If cash hasn't scuffed his shot he's created a goal out of nothing with his pace, skill and awareness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theboyangel Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 His stature reminds me of Christian Vieri From what I’ve seen of the game, he had some great touches and will improve us when he’s settled into our system 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zaniolo looks to have much better physicality than Bailey so will be used more away I think, but then Bailey came on and made a difference with his pace and directness, so all good. Yeah, Zaniolo seems to give us a solution to the Bailey conundrum. Personally, I like him. There's a lot of promise there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 His ball carrying is fantastic. He plays well with his back to goal. There’s a lot to be excited about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 He has a lot of self belief. You can tell he will get better each game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enda Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 He’ll settle and be immense. It takes time. Does anyone remember Moreno’s first few matches? Like a fish out of water. Give foreign players a couple of months before judging. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinker Posted September 17, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted September 17, 2023 Looks promising, strong on the ball, offers us something different to what we have. Needs time to settle and gain a better understanding of our style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that was great and would've been a brilliant assist. Other times he lost the ball cheaply trying to dribble through 2-3 Palace players. Also tried to backheel constantly yo Digne on the overlap and lost it a few times so he's a work in progress which is to be expected. One thing that did surprise me watching him live is how tall he is. I was expecting diminutive Italian playmaker like Zola or Carbone so he should get better at holding off players with his stature.

I’m not sure what you’re at with your spelling of “forren”, but I think it’s harder for a person to move countries on top of changing employers. There are exceptions but foreign (“forren?”) players will generally need a bit more time and patience to settle in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zanilo Zanoli Zanolio Zanlio Meanwhile the other commentator said it correctly the whole game and that still didn't help him, you do have to wonder how these people have survived as adults after a while. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
