Starting to look more and more like the man to solve our defensive midfield issues.
His debut at Newcastle last season was fantastic, he was quick to cover the ground, excellent in the tackle and made that crucial block to stop a goal. The injury was clearly destructive and he also admitted to struggling with the pace in general and concentration required for 90minutes in the prem. He's getting closer to that form and will be much needed in our tougher games and the CL. Hope to see him start in Seville, will need that defensive cover. If Juve and we both win then we're through to the knockouts with two games left. Coming away with a point at least should be our mentality. We just need to be better on the counter than we were at the swamp.
Totally agree,the last sentence especially.Said after the spuds game we set up all wrong we really need to sit in and exploit the pace off kun,sterling
and navas and the passing precision of kdb,yaya and silva in the trickier games.
At spuds you know they'll come at you so pick them off the difference with the scum was they want to sit in as well (disgraceful for the club they claim to be and playing at home) so we have to learn to adapt.
We may not have won at the swamp but if the players play the tough matches in this style more often I'm sure we'll improve at it and Seville would be
another good opportunity to try and fine tune it.
Really think this could be be the difference in us competing at the serious end of champs league.
