I thought he played far more for forward than next to Rodri. I expected him to play deeper though as well.he works *really* well next to rodri. they are actually quite similar in play.
Agree about the air of quality. He has a sense of ease about his play, makes it look very effortless even when he is doing a lot of work which is usually the sign of a top quality player.Happy to have him onboard. Steady start and he has that air of quality that I expect we'll see more of as he settles in.
It'll be a 60+ game season. He'll have his time to shine.
I think those are the 3 best Center midsWon't be long till we see a Rodri - Kovacic - Nunes midfield. Was great tonight. Few great crosses too which should have been converted.
