Riccardo Calafiori: The Italian Stallion

[Riou]

Can add he's way better looking than the pair of them.

Minted footballer or not doubt Ricky has to struggle for a prospective leg over

I wouldn't kick Batistuta out of bed...

Sh1t, I mean yeah you are right bro...Cala has the ladies lined up, yeah

Calafiori and Merino delivering. Hmmm...

 

[boonthegoon]

Had a forgettable second half

 

[El Duderino]

Been on an Italian Zinchenko run last two games for better or worse.

 

[Mitch]

Probably our best player after Rice today.

 

[Heavy Duty Rom]

Probably our best player after Rice today.

Both were exhausted.

I love this guy. Not long ago some were talking about selling him. Maybe they felt MLS had taken his place. I think with Calafiori you get consistent quality, same with Timber on the right (or CB) and he’s only 23.

Talking about selling this guy because he had bad injury luck last season was the one of the most classic A-M things ever. His quality was so clear.

Yeah a bit shaky for sure but everything is magnified with both starting CBs missing. If we didn't already appreciate how brilliant they are at their own jobs, their absence also magnifies how much of a platform for success they provide their teammates.

 

[viktor]

his good performance always under radar

 

[Fallout]

Limited time on the pitch but I really liked the CB cameo vs Brugge

Interestingly he even found his way into the box on one action, Vermaelen-esque for those who remember

Maybe it's something to explore if Hincapie plays LB

I guess underlying a lot of this feeling is, I'm not too hot on Hincapie at CB at the moment ... decent player but doesn't feel elite in the way our tactic requires

I've noticed him and Hincapie rotating a bit as well when they played together. Like sometimes Calafiori will move to the middle from LB position and Hincapie will suddenly overlap from CB and you don't really notice any holes or distruption of the shape. It's a weapon.

[viktor]

oh my god, wow he become one of the most important player now, in build up and defend

 

[Bagels]

Quietly becoming one of our very best players…

 

[pure profit FC]

Quietly becoming one of our very best players…

Yeah pretty much undroppable when fit, he is elite.

 

[Red London]

This is what I knew he could get to I just hope he stays fit.

Unicorn, Rolls Royce.

Long hair, handsome, probably loves the Sopranos (I am assuming) anyone who doesn't think he's the best player in his position in the league...

 

[Aubamabludclat94]

Same as Timber, would like to see him in more overlapping to the byline situations, though hes far more comfortable in the final 3rd than Timber is. Also, his two-footedness is a bit of a cheat code. Brilliant ****ing player
