Tbh I think a lot of his previous worse performances were injury related. He has back problems and never seemed to be able to put a run together. He was a great player at dortmund and he never properly fulfilled his promise, but hes 29 and in his prime now. Hes a very intelligent player and should have another five years in him.

There will be 8/9 changes I think. He will be one of them.Been very, very this season. I'd give him a rest against Birmingham though with three league matches between the 13th-20th after that.

Biggest unsung, some might say hated, player on the team. He has been SUPERB during this unbeaten run, mainly because the tactics have freed him up to play further forward.
Our new 2-2-2-2, with 2 wide players playing along the lines, has allowed him to play in that 3rd line, rather than paired as a DM. Instead, we have been bringing a FB (usually Cancelo) inside to play alongside Rodri or Ferna.
Gundo is brilliant playing the 8 role, as opposed to second 6. However, when we collapse back against the attack, his new found fitness/mobility has allowed him to slot back from 8 into dual 6 quite effectively.

KDB’s not too bad, either! ;-)Random observation but he might be the best two footed passer on the team. Superbly ambidextrous when passing.
There was a stat going around that last season he was the 2nd most ambidextrous passer in the league, behind Delph.Random observation but he might be the best two footed passer on the team. Superbly ambidextrous when passing.

His best spell of form for us was in the second half of the 2018-19 season. I thought he was superb in that run.Tbh I think a lot of his previous worse performances were injury related. He has back problems and never seemed to be able to put a run together. He was a great player at dortmund and he never properly fulfilled his promise, but hes 29 and in his prime now.

Thought he was absolutely brilliant in that home game against Spurs in the CL. One of the best individual performances I’ve seen live.
It's not just random :) I think someone put up a stat last year of how he was the most 2 footed player in the league. Not just our club..Random observation but he might be the best two footed passer on the team. Superbly ambidextrous when passing.

It’s specifically his ability to play the ball first time with both feet that I really love
