Sandro Tonali

[TBG]

Takes some effort to ruin BICEP - Glue.

I know a few have already said this, but there’s something about him that makes me think he’ll lead us to trophies. 
 

its like when we stumbled upon Big Joe deeper during the Norwich game. Tonali at 6 has been gamechanger and I haven’t felt so confident about our midfield controlling games in over a decade, if not longer.

Done wonders for my blood pressure replacing Longstaff, thanks Sandro

Was saying this to my mate yesterday. It's like looking at a throwback quintessential match winning midfielder, Gerrard, Ballack, Gattuso, take your pick.. hes just got it.

 

It's frightening to think that he's barely got started for us too. I don't think for a second we have the finished article.

On steroids?

Bloody hope not!

Thought he was quietly absolutely brilliant again today. For all his physical attributes, his intelligence is what stands out to me. He just seems to sense what is needed in any game or moment and play whatever role is needed in relation to the rest of the team.

 

Today it was popping the ball off quickly and letting Bruno try to hurt Man U. Then he still picked the perfect moment to run through the defence and nearly score. World class. 

[The College Dropout]

Yeh he bossed it today.  Him and Bruno clicking in midfield is the sexiest thing I’ve ever seen. 
 

At about the hour mark he got back in the ball and just took the sting out the game.  

[Dava1892]

Even megged the ref in the first half. SANDRO

That shot that thundered against the post, I swear you must have been able to hear that at both ends of the ground.

[Ginola]

By his own exceptional standards I thought he was a bit quieter but only because he wasn't needed as much. He's absolutely transformed us playing that more defensive role, releasing Bruno and just generally taking charge while having the technical ability to play the triangles and switch the play beautifully. I think I love him

[Pilko]

The one two with Bruno in the build up to the second goal, Casemiro may as well have been one of those training ground markers you play around.

 

We look so fluid with him in there, the first time passes he plays and control of the tempo. He's showing his quality now.

 

 

[Karjala]

He's pure class.

He’s a pleasure to watch.

Lasts a third as long as he should?

[madras]

Didnt know where to put this thought but here seems as good a place as any.

 

This midfield hasn't peeked yet, they're only just jelling. I think Tonalis delay at moving in to his position was him getting the pace of the prem and also Bruno getting to Tonalis pace, the keeping the ball moving, more first touch in certain areas.

 

For all we are still basically at first sight a 433, since Tonali has moved there is a lot more going on. So looking forward to how(e) this evolves going forward.

Tonali + Bruno + Joelinton = currently best midfield in the PL.  We're just bossing it atm.

 

 

 

Bossing it I tell ya 

[Ronson333]

Other fans beginning to notice how good he is…They won’t get him off us though, he’s ours 😀

Very noticeable imo how often players are playing balls to him that they wouldn't necessarily play to other players, confident in the belief that Sandro can deal with it. And it carries to the crowd as well,  I'm always so calm whenever he's on the ball.

[PauloGeordio]

[Menace]

The way he finds space to make a pass or maintain possession is ridiculous 

[KaKa]

Pretty outrageous the extent to which he has transformed the team.

 

The difference he has made defensively is a joke. That midfield gap is rarely present anymore.

 

Big reason why we have not conceded in the last 4 games.

 

Do we have the best midfield in the league?
