Marco Verratti

[Mitchell1978]

Totally owned by Isco tonight.

 

[KingLeo10]

xavi did it against the best of the best, against united, against germany, against RM, against holland. this guy only flatters to disappoint.

 

[Julien]

He's trash tonight.

 

[Hamzah]

This guy is quite shit in big games

 

[fergus90]

Pulled off a few good through balls but was completely owned other than that. I do actually think he would benefit massively from moving to a different league to develop as a player.

 

[El Flaco]

To be fair to Verratti, using him in a 2 man midfield was an awful idea from Ventura (Italy's NT coach).

Playing with a 4-2-4 system against Spain and their 4-6-0 formation (Isco, Silva, Iniesta, Koke, Asensio and Busquets) is like asking for trouble.

i think the idea was pretty clear to attack on counter and have the front 4 do something. There is no way itally was going to win the possession game.

 

[Barcilliant]

VERRATTI is just like any midfielder. If he isn't playing in the right system and if there is no protection he's gonna look crap.

That's what happened with Italy.

He is never going to improve as a player by staying in France, but PSG will never sell him either.
Oh well, he will enjoy all that money and easy league titles im sure.

And why isn't that the case with Iniesta?

 

[Mitchell1978]

He's a great player and could have been a good fit for Barcelona but he isn't Xavi or of that same quality and he wouldn't be for Barcelona either.

Xavi playing for this Italian side, with these dogshit tactics would look bad. Verratti is a great player but he can't control a midfield on his own when playing against 4-5 WC Spanish MF. I know we are all kinda salty for not having him in our team, but please lets try to be more realistic.

 

[slvtn]

We should try to sign him next year

 

[Windhook]

Against great midfielders he looks mediocre. He was pressured last night and his passing was awful under these circumstances. He still has a lot to learn, but I don't see any room for improvement if he keeps on playing in it the French Ligue 1.

 

[Acer]

His best performance are always been against Barca, but yeah he is mediocre against great midfielders.

I remember Isco playing against Psg in 2015/2016 and doing nothing and most of his games against Barca were mediocre.
