I agree with what's been said.
Piatek is an amazing finisher. I think he actually needs a striker next to him to complement him...someone like Robinho or Cassano. I don't think he could work with Ibra, honestly. Leao has better characteristics for that.
We're in this phase of creating an identity for the team, and for sure it is taking lots of time, but we have our fair share of very talented players that we can build around. We have to get rid of the crop of average players though: Kessie, Calabria, Suso, and Calhanoglu are increasingly getting in that category in my eyes.
Calabria I would keep for now. He's having a nightmare season along with many of the rest of the players, but he's shown that he has talent, plus he's one of the last few from the youth academy
Kessie, Suso and Hakan definitely need to be replaced
I do not understand why these players keep having bad games and keep taking up starting spots.
While Paqueta is sitting on the bench Kessie and Hakan are out there each week bumbling about the pitch. Same with Rebic. Why isn't he being given a fair shot?
As for Leao, I think the kid has great potential, but should not be starting in important games, he's too green and too selfish on the ball at times. He over dribbles a lot causing him to lose the ball each time. He needs to be managed properly to be able to come into his own.
Suso is just being Suso. He'll never be consistent, he'll always be a bit too slow for a winger as well.
We should go after Deulofeu again. His electric pace would solve a lot of our problems in attack
And I still say we need to switch to a 4-2-3-1
Kessie and Bennacer would hold the double pivot while Paqueta plays behind Ibra
