Well, that statement is pretty definitive. And appreciated.

Dude is so fucking good. Again. 

[Myleftboot]

What we’ve been missing in that position.

[The Butcher]

As the kids/cunts say - baller.

[wyn davies]

Brilliant today

Don't forget the cunt kids.

 

There are some out there... 😄

Sandro Tonali the Maestro.

[Elliottman]

He’ll only get better and better, great to see him get 90 minutes. 

[TRon]

Felt like the rest of the team was playing on his wavelength today, although might have been the abject opposition. We were pinging the ball around quickly, and that's his greatest asset. Seems to cut out at least one extra pass with his quick thinking and layoffs.

[cubaricho]

His first time passes are fucking sexual. He just keeps things moving at pace rather than letting the moves slow/break down.

He gets about the pitch better than any of our midfielders. The Joes included. 
 

He has a canny knack of pressing high and having some sort of impact. Then moments later, he’s back in our half to break up play or collect a loose ball. Like a magnet to where the action is. 
 

I know others contributed more. But it was Him or Hall MOTM today, for me.

Couldn't have said it better.

I love that part of his game so much, especially in that deeper position. Gives us more urgency.

[Shak]

Adds so much him being the base of the midfield.

 

He does everything so quickly, really helps the tempo of our whole team in attack.

It's tough to pick MOTM between Tonali, Hall and Isak for me today

So hard to defend against as well. Imagine a few more doing the same thing and you are Barcelona of Messi's time. Minus Messi admittedly.

[Joe1984]

Headed back to Milan.

 

Headed to Juventus.

 

Headed to Real Madrid.

 

It'll be Man City next just watch...

Hall - 100%

[Ikon]

So much technical ability as well as intelligence. The athleticism on top of that too 

[Shak]

I'll be very interested to see Tonali as DM with Bruno to his right and Willock to his left.

 

You'd presume that will be change with Joelinton suspended.

It breaks through the opposition press every time 

[Andy]

He's top class and actually plays with positional discipline over the full 90, unlike any of our other midfielders. Should be the second name on the team sheet after Isak.

Yeah, as good as Bruno is at holding onto the ball and moving away from pressure, I always felt he would sometimes over indulge in that when in that deeper position.

 

Really like the way Tonali moves the ball so quickly.

Yep, was thinking exactly that. Bruno is such a good player but he does like to hold the ball rather than move it quickly. Which is great in many ways, but defences probably prefer that to the lightning incisions that Tonali provides.

Great shout. As brilliant as Bruno is. When he plays deepest. He does often want to have a few touches before shifting the ball. Or invite a tackle so he can roll them or win a free kick. 
 

Ironically. In the Liverpool game and again today. Bruno is quicker on the ball when he is in the other team’s half.
