Antonio Nocerino Has Started Slowly in MLS, but He Can Still Make it at Orlando City

Antonio Nocerino has had a rocky start to his time in Orlando. He has received a lot of criticism from fans and media alike about his passing, positioning and general ball security through his first few appearances in purple. Part of it is understandable; there is a certain level of performance expected out of relatively well-known Europeans coming to MLS.

With the added debacle of the tampering allegation and his reportedly high salary, there were some extra expectations placed on him to perform before he even arrived stateside, and so far he has failed to live up to what Orlando City gave up to get him.
