Apples and huge foreheaded oranges mate.If you remember, Kompany started as CDM in his first season and didn't do well.
Then Mancini tried him as a CB and magic happened.
I always thought Kalvin would be more suitable for that position, especially the one Stones / Akanji play.
CDM - ain't gonna happen.
Leeds play much faster and more direct. We prefer squeezing and slowing our play, so our midfielders tend not to have alot of room.It does make you wonder how he managed in that Bielsa side who play riskily through the 6 all the time?! (Not sarcasm, genuine bewilderment)
I just wonder if he’s slowed down due to injuries and they’ve taken a toll on his ability to move the ball quicker. That or lack of confidence. Or both.
“He was really good for the problems we had. I know Kalvin when he gets the ball and can see all the pitch in front of him he’s a really good player. When he has the small spaces there are more problems."Leeds play much faster and more direct. We prefer squeezing and slowing our play, so our midfielders tend not to have alot of room.

not perm but the stones role from shuffling to CB-DM i thought he could do. Played a flat CB last night and looked ok even given its against a bunch of kids.ah but did you always have him down as a CB lol
Well done though :)
