Played well again last night.
Would like to see him get a few games in the Fernandinho position towards the end of the season. Don't think he'd make it his own, but I think his height and willingness to attack the aerial ball would give us another option there next season.

would also like to see him in that position. dm behind silva and de bruyne
I know some have said we should offload Danilo because of Maffeo's progression, but I think he has been an excellent signing. Sure, he cost £26.5m but when you consider we paid £50m for Walker to be our starter, that's not bad.
Danilo has been very good cover for us at LB when called upon, can be played pretty much all along the backline and even in defensive midfield (although we haven't seen much of that) and is far and away the best backup full back in the league. I do wish he would take less shots, but he's shown that he can score once in a while.
I have no clue what the plans for Maffeo are next season. I hope we do not sell him, but I wouldn't be shocked if we loaned him again (maybe to someone in the Premier League or someone like Valencia if they qualify for the Champions League). Maybe the club will sell Danilo, but tbh he absolutely deserves to stay.

Dread him against salah honestly believe delph is a better left back. Maybe danilo just needs a run in the team but pep doesn't seem to rate him at lb dropping behind delph, zinchenko and now laporte in the peaking order.

Salah has been stopped by right footed LB's a couple of times this season, most recently by Ashley Young, but Aurier did the same.
I would fancy Danilo to do a job there if needed.

He was excellent in preseason but hadn't look great since. Hope he plays plays out of his skin massive chance for him to prove the doubters wrong.Salah has been stopped by right footed LB's a couple of times this season, most recently by Ashley Young, but Aurier did the same.
