Guest HTT II Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Rolls Royce of a player, that control and touch on the other flank was brilliant, his anticipation, reading of the game and his strength for his size is amazing. What I love most, however, about his game, is that he always looks to play a positive forward pass, he’s always looking forwards and he makes some lovely clipped balls in and his cross-field passing is superb too. We all know the quality of his crossing and set-pieces, but his his passing it top-drawer. Take note Shelvey, you don’t need to hit a Hollywood pass to play a good pass, it’s often the simple and most instinctive passes that are going to cause damage or get us on the front foot going forwards.

Dr Venkman Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 8 hours ago, madras said: He's our captain. Others may wear the arm band, toss a coin, but we can all see who leads this team. Others have probably mentioned this already but I was sat right behind the gallowgate goal and he literally picked our players up out of the goal after Everton scored. You could see him willing the team to victory throughout the whole game. He's a really special player, the most important signing we've made in god knows how long.

WillingtonMag Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Think it will be good for him to be so loved and appreciated here, had he went to man united he's just another player can be an absolute king up here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest HTT II Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 This is only his 3rd PL game for us, it feels like he’s been here for ever, he’s fitted in so well and has hit the ground running! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEEJ Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 There was one touch/pass in particular in the first half which was absolutely sublime. He took 2 players out of the game in what seemed like a really tricky situation. He's genuinely brilliant. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danh1 Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 A true leader and a winner. We lacked both before he came. He is pure class, can’t believe he plays for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixx Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Can't believe we've managed to sign him. Brings absolutely everything to the fold we needed - leadership, set pieces, crossing, tackling and just lifts everyone around him to another level. You can really see how the other players look up to him and try to find him whenever. Like he relishes having the ball under pressure. Boy did we need that. And it seems Bruno brings similar elements to the fold. We've had too many players scared of having the ball under pressure. Massive big dick energy.

Paully Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Different class - knew he was good but didn't realise he was this good! Leader too! What a signing! £12m! Man Utd must be off their heads not going back in for him at that price! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conjo Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 (edited) Man Utd wouldn't have gotten him for £12m. We got him for that initial fee because it will rise significantly when we stay up. Edited February 9, 2022 by Conjo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I found telling was after Everton squandered a chance in the first half, it went out for a goal kick. He was straight over to Dubs telling him to calm it and take time to quash any momentum. I then glanced over to Captain Calamity, who was trudging back out of the 18-yard box with his head down. No communication at all. Strip the armband ASAP tbh.

bobbydazzla Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 (edited) I liked how as he was putting the ball down for the free kick he was chirping at the ref, asking some questions about decisions and getting his point across quietly and confidently. Great to see him applying some subtle pressure to an official as well as going into full shithouse mode winding up their players. We've really lacked that cocky attitude.

Think that winner's attitude really rubbed off on the rest of the team too, in the end we just wanted it more than Everton. A lot more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
