i would say out of all the squad he is one of two or 3 weaker links - the others being Mendy and Ottomendi
At least you can spell mendy

Best player was Bernardo. Gundo without Silva running like a possessed man in front of him = Spurs CL first legThe difference is Gundo is an often decent enough but sometimes average attacking midfielder, whereas he’s an excellent deep lying midfielder.
You only have to see his level of performance in the second half of last season, where he was probably the best and certainly the most consistent player in the team, playing deep in midfield.
And while he can have some good games in attacking mid, he’s just not at the same level there.
3 Villa counterattacks today came from him getting to the first Villa player with the ball and Ilkay pulling out of the tackle, one of them lead to Fernandinho's yellow card, on tuesday it lead to the penalty.
I like him, I think he does everything else in the role well, but until he starts making those tackles where he either wins the ball back or takes the player down, we will give up too many chances with him there.
