People are way too hung up on Kessie's physical strength. But this is football. NOT wrestling! Physical strength is good...but not when you are struggling to make 10 yard passes under pressure. Not when you provide nothing in the attacking half. Not when your decision making on the ball is horrible.
The cons we get from playing Kessie FAR outweigh the pros we get from his physicality.
There are definitely better midfielders around than Kessie. He definitely needs to improve to become world class. In terms of passing he has a 88.2% pass success rate in serie A according to whoscored.com. Comparatively Barella has a 81.8 % pass success rate in serie A.
It's fine to see the players faults which Kessie has. At the same time people are making it out as if Barella is Modric or Tony Kroos. Who know in 2 / 3 years time but right now the facts don't support it.
