One American Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 16 hours ago, harrycoyster said: You are seriously underrating Nagbe. Perhaps because the US seems to play him centrally for whatever reason. His possession, dribbling and passing stats are the best of any of the players listed, albeit in a weaker league. The only reason he isn't a top 5 attacking midfielder in all of CONCACAF is that he doesn't have a final pass. As long as the other team is smart enough not to foul him in the final third, he brings a giant bag of nothing to the game. Your passing stats look great when all you do is square it.

Obinna Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Nagbe is frustrating because he could be so dangerous but is either afraid or unwilling to take over a game. You know how Alphonso Davies or Junior Hoilett only ever seem to be turned onto one setting (Score)? That's what Nagbe needs and he'd be a monster.

Nagbe plays very safe. He needs to trust his ability more...not that I'm complaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate Johnson's game and support his inclusion in the CMNT set-up but Scotty is a significant level above WJ. Now and at their peaks. Significant! Pretty sure the "Johnson" in question is Fabian Johnson, not Will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyslexic nam Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Lol. I haven't been on for a few days, so I go the the General CMNT thread, and it is all about CPL drafts and start dates. I come to the Chrisante thread, and it is about Arfield, Johnson, and somehow Nagbe. Jesus boys - focus! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masster Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Another 90 minutes for Cristante in a 5-1 win over Crotone. Atalanta will be playing my Fiorentina in the late game on Sunday, so I will be watching that one closely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PopePouri Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I don't see a lot of central mids under the age of 25 who would be ahead of him, other than say Veratti. Who is up and coming for Italy after Marchisio, De Rossi et al. hang up their boots? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diawara who is trying to get an Italian passport who plays regularly for Napoli. Gagliardini of Inter, Mandragora who is on loan from Juventus, Pietro Pellegri of Genoa who is 16or 17 and scored twice this past weekend, and even Pellegrini of Sassuolo who is wanted by Roma, These are all players in Serie A who are more highly rated by Italy and are all younger.

Olympique_de_Marseille Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Little curiosity: Cristante didn't play today (one assumes he will in Europa League action on Thursday). However, he got a yellow card from the bench. http://www.legaseriea.it/en/serie-a-tim/match-report/2017-18/UNICO/UNI/6/FIOATA Highlights I have found don't show us what he did. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dsa6KH6pbk8 Anybody know more?

A quick review of midfielders on Fifa 18 playing for Italy puts him halfway down the second page. He has about 30 guys ahead of them according to those "experts". Hopefully Bryan realizes sooner rather than later that his best chance of playing world football is with Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The experts believe Wassey is as good as Teibert and better than Chapman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you, if he keeps scoring like he is he will get attention from Italy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
