Morten Thorsby Scout Report

Morten Thorsby, currently plying his trade at Genoa, is a central midfielder whose style of play is marked by a relentless engine but not without its quirks. Standing out in terms of ball recovery with a remarkable 89th percentile suggests he's exceptional in regaining possession, a hallmark of his robust defensive work. However, his game is marred by poor ball retention and pass accuracy, languishing disappointingly low, which indicates a susceptibility to losing possession and misplacing passes. When it comes to attacking contributions, Thorsby offers a moderate goal threat but lacks efficiency in front of goal, as shown in his low goal efficiency. His progressive passing is around the midpoint, hinting at a willingness to advance play even if execution sometimes lags. On aerial duels, he's formidable, winning a high percentage, showing a notable strength in physical battles. Yet, his overall duel win rate isn't impressive, pointing to struggles in ground challenges. His player activity is largely centred around the midfield, supporting his role as a conventional central midfielder rather than a playmaker or defensive specialist. Morten’s propensity for conceding fouls is strikingly high, reflecting both aggression and perhaps a necessary evil in his defensive approach. This scout report underscores a player with distinct highs and lows, whose impressive defensive metrics could be overshadowed by his struggles to retain possession and contribute decisively in attacking phases.
