You could see how comfortable he is on the ball and picks out great passes. Why we continued with Akanji absolutely butchering the position when he is there was beyond me.The most nailed on thing ever that he’ll be playing in midfield in time, in the hybrid CB/DM role, once he gets used to the way we play.
What were they like mate?View attachment 90475Nice to meet him today! Nice guy
Gvardiol Didn't say much, I suppose being in a new club, new city and with coming back from Athens. More than willing to have a picture, Kovačić was more outgoing and can tell he is more adjusted to life over here, he seemed more relaxed, very smiley and came across very well. Both seem down to earth genuine lads.What were they like mate?
If first game was any sort of yardstick, Mangala would be Paolo MaldiniThought he started slowly and grew into the game. Very early doors for him here, but signs look excellent.
Anyone criticising him on his first full game, give your heads a wobble
