He certainly seems to have the same composure on the ball, intelligence and eye for a pass as Dave.
He does look bigger and stronger though, and like you say more of an eye for goal.
Whether he can dictate games like Dave did is another matter, in fairness other than Xavi and Modric I can’t think of a player in the modern era as good as Dave at that.
I guess McAtee is way too young to be dictating games at PL level anyway, but he looks like he has the intelligence, composure and technique required, and he couldn’t really wish for a better coach and set up to help him develop that side of his game.
I’ve not seen loads of him, but from what I have seen, he looks a very exciting prospect.
