Exactly what he did at Juve. Seen none of that here since the Lincoln game. If, as a striker, you're somewhat isolated, you drop deep or pull out wide to see more of the ball and create space for others. He's done nothing. I've watched him during games stand still, hands on hips or doubled over after a sprint. His off the ball movement is almost non-existent.
The big chances he's had, he's missed, including a couple of sitters. Hasn't been anywhere near enough of a 'nuisance' for defences to create things for others either. He's appeared utterly bereft of energy and fitness, positionally and tactically inept and, most disappointingly, just hasn't taken his chances.
I can appreciate we tempered expectations and nobody really expected for him to come in and knock 15 goals IAC but I've no idea why our fans set their expectations for this kid so perilously low either.
He cost a wedge, he's an Italian international who was playing for Juventus and in the Champions League. That alone doesn't make him a top player, but it's experience enough to place reasonable expectations on the lad coming in.
