Gabbiadini is versatile, creative and hardworking forward, who is capable of playing in several offensive positions, as a striker, supporting forward, attacking midfielder or as a winger on either flank. His preferred role is on the right, however, where he is capable of curling shots on goal with his stronger left foot. A dynamic player, he possesses pace, positional sense and good technique, which, along with his strength, allows him to play with his back to goal and hold up the ball for teammates. Gabbiadini is capable both of creating and scoring goals due to his intelligence and his powerful and accurate shot with his left foot; he is also an accurate set-piece taker
At 1m86 and blessed with a powerful physique and athleticism (as you can see below where he shows strength before finishing well), Gabbiadini is strong in the air. Nominally a centre forward, he has often been deployed in wider positions, particularly on the left. However last season, he failed to score when starting on the left for Bologna, except for one occasion. Four of his Serie A goals came when he was deployed in the centre.
He is also a threat on the ground thanks to his good ball control and powerful left peg, while his technical ability, short passing and movement is also improving steadily.
The young striker made a good impression as a substitute against England,and earned his place along side Immobile in the starting line up for this game.
The stand out feature of his game is his movement. The player displays a lot of intelligence in the timing and direction of his runs. His runs are mostly based around the movement of the target man,and in this respect,he did very well to constantly keep opposition defenders occupied.
Technically,he does well too,and his quick inter-play with Immobile and Insigne was a highlight of the match. The passes and lay-offs were very accurate.
The secret to performing such moves well is speed of thought,and Gabbiadini shows a lot of imagination and creativity at a high speed. Breaking down defences often requires a sudden change in tempo,and Gabbiadini is capable of effecting such a change.
As a striker of course,shooting and finishing are the most important aspects of his game. Gabbiadini impressed one and all with this side of his game. Both his goals were well taken,accurate and powerful shots(one was a free kick). The goal from open play came after intelligent play and a quick shot.
Defensively,he did a decent job,helping his midfielders to break down attacks.
@Connor check out this boy.
Yes. He's the most ruthless manager we've had since Kendall. Sometimes the stick is the best thing, especially after three years of nothing but carrot juice
He isnt very good.

We should sign Schneiderlin, zero minutes last night.
Schneiderlin would be perfect.We should sign Schneiderlin, zero minutes last night.
Ryan Shawcross likes this post.Koulibaly frequently plays long passes all the way down the pitch and is very good at it.
Ryan Shawcross shakes his head in pity "when will they learn, oh Lord?"You mean he hoofs it.
Come on Zat, we already agreed you dont watch Napoli play.
Depay, Carrick and Lingard didnt even make the bench.
Pogba, Fellaini, Carrick, Lingard, Schneider and Herrera, could they afford to let 1 go without a replacement? Maybe.
