He looked like the player we know he can be today. Aside from his quality on the ball and his intelligence I was impressed with the physical side of his game today. Stood up to be counted. Hope he can maintain it nowI'm one of his biggest critics but he was quality today. One moment where he needed to come across and press when the ball was outwide, but didn't, and it led to a chance. But besides that, near faultless.
Encouraging and hope to see him push on from here.
The stats ( I know, I know... Stats aren't everything), but the stats suggests NO. You can't find any DM with the combination of all his skills'...He's always felt really underrated to me.
But it got me thinking - is there a player on the planet that you could swap into that role who'd do it better? The mix of positioning, restraint, physicality and passing.
Casemiro? The Bayern lad who's on steds? I agree btw I'm just trying to think of who!He's always felt really underrated to me.
