Danilo - 2017/18 performances

[kiam06]

Much needed composure at the back. Great performance today.

Looked at home, wish he'd been part of a back 4 though for most of the game.

 

[Dazzle84]

He's absolutely brilliant. At one point second half it looked like he was playing a 'defensive free role' - always in the right place for passing as well as defending. The 352 works if he plays as part of the 3 - the whole point is it morphs into different systems throughout and he allows that to happen

 

[cleavers]

He looked good today. Doing better than I thought he would , looked extremely calm in that back 3.

I thought he looked even better when he went into midfield in the second half. I thought he was one of our best players.

 

[Joe Hart's Dandruff]

He's a unit as well, which is no bad thing in our team of midgets.

 

[Cityfan]

Looked excellent today.

Our team of midgets?

Kompany, Mangala, Otamendi,Stones, Danilo, Walker, Mendy, Sané, Yaya are all 6ft+

That's half the outfield players in the squad.

All defenders, Sane and Yay aside. I'm was more referring to midfield players and ahead. We have a lot of players that start in our first 11'that would be considered quite small in comparison to other teams.

 

[Ric]

Incredibly versatile, and has impressed every time I've seen him. Lost his way at Madrid but looks like a great signing - no one's arsed about missing out on Dani Alves any more.

 

[Blue Coop]

Danilo is already proving a great buy, not only has he shown he can cover a number of positions but he's proving strong enough to force his way into the side in places he probably didn't expect to play too much. Wouldn't be surprised to see him in 6 or so positions across the season. If he can start to cover us at CB too then that's a huge bonus.
