He was far from being our worst player yesterday.
Yep. Some people don't quite seem to understand the dynamics of a team and the effect DMs/CMs have, instead looking at their performance with a narrow view. That's not how the midfield functions.
When you're constantly passing it sideways and backwards at a slow pace from those positions you're negatively affecting every aspect of our game, by making it harder for everyone else to do their own jobs and be as effective as they can be. Wanna know why Fernandinho is held in such high regard? THAT is precisely the reason - he made everyone else tick.
Lost another game have we...
Was our best player imo.Yes and yet again he was integral to our failure

Did an excellent bit of pressing in the first half and nicked the ball off their midfield just outside their box, then stopped, turned around, waited for everyone to get back in position and passed it backwards to someone. Pretty much sums him up tbh, every now and then he shows something, looks like he might be able to make a positive impact, but then retreats back into his shell.
Absolute coward of a player, reminds me of Nasri. All the ability to make a huge impact, but too scared to even try it 99 times out of 100 so just plays it safe
