According to google he is on the bench:

I hope that "chap" has the right of it.

EDIT... Arsenal beat me to it. The "chap" is wrong. :-(

 

This game is on ESPN+ though, so if Nova does play, there's a rare chance to watch.

 

Sucks, there goes what cred he had, turns out he was wrong, Nova on the bench per the broadcast itself.

 

Nova DNP, they save him for the more important league games.

PS: They lost 2-1 to Parma. Honorable result, and playing away.

 

They were saving him as the "instant offense" sub in extra time, but they gave up the game winner at 90+2.

 

One of only 2 players out of 22 whose name does not end in a vowel.

 

Started & went 90 in 2-0 win:

Is he holding the ball up and bringing his teammates into the attack? Those things that target-forwards are renowned for?

 

Based on stats, not really.

Today, he completed 10/18 passes, won 7/21 duels, committed eight fouls, was only fouled once, and missed one big chance. He did create two chances, so that's positive, but the stats are pretty bad.

 

He apparently won a penalty, which was converted

 

So the stats are bad, but he's still effective?

 

Eh not really.

Creating 2 chances isn't that noteworthy. Different standard, but Raul Jimenez created 5 for Wolves today.

 

Serie B was a terrible fit for this guy and after this he'll be lucky to land a regular MLS contract a la Picault.

 

it's only been half a season. Let's give it til April til we banish him to MLS.

They ended up winning 2-0.

 

He wore the defense out for his substitute.

 

Starts. Down 1-0 at the half:

1 goal, 4 assists in 14 matches this season.

 

At least he’s out scoring Horvath

 

From a SoccerbyIves articles

Andrija Novakovich
After two good seasons in the Netherlands, first with second-division side Telstar and then Eredivisie side Fortuna Sittard, Novakovich finally stopped waiting for a chance with Reading FC, making a transfer move to Serie B side Frosinone.

The move has helped the 23-year-old Novakovich earn regular minutes in a tough defensive league. Goals haven’t been as easy to come by as they were when he was playing in the Netherlands, but the 6-foot-4 forward is someone Berhalter will need to consider. especially if he can help Frosinone gain promotion to Serie A.

 

sadly he shouldn’t be considered

 

Bench today.

Came in at 67', ended 0-0. Goalwise, Serie B is the anti-Eredivisie.
