madras Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Look much better for not being played as a no.10. Allows him to get into more space and to not be back to goal so much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Another thing this guy deserves huge credit for is his fitness. He is always available despite playing all the time. Great injury record. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raconteur Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 He’s always been very good technically, the biggest improvement to his game is ball retention and being stronger in position. He was far too easy to knock off the ball and this regularly left us exposed as he’d lose possession in the middle of the park and we’d be caught out of shape when he lost it. It’ll be interesting to see how he links in with Almiron against a proper team with 11 men. One thing I noticed against Huddersfield more than any of his other recent performances, he wasn't knocked off the ball anywhere near as many times. He actually stood up to some shoulder barges and tackles really well.. hopefully it's finally clicked A large part of the reason he looked less than brilliant at the start of the season is that he and the striker were often very isolated, and it was easy for defences to swarm two or even three defenders on him whenever he was trying to bring the ball forward. That doesn't happen so much any more Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great injury record. True, although I still think injuries are more down to luck than anything else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, although I still think injuries are more down to luck than anything else. really? major ones sure but since rafa came we've been a different club in terms of repeat, niggling stuff that has fucked us my entire time supporting the club i would suggest a major part of that is his rotation/fitness policy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Oh, there are ways to manage fitness of course. I just mean I don’t think much credit should go to the player for having strong hamstrings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happinesstan Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Anyone think he was p*ssed off cos Almiron and Longstaff got better applause when subbed? Nah. Far too much strength of character, I would say. I'm sure he was just delighted not to be booed. I actually considered, at the time, that it might have been deliberate by Rafa.

Got 6 now, finished on 8 in the pl and 2 in the cup last year. Two of those came on the final day, so he's probably doing better up to this point this year.
