Sandro Tonali

Bruno essentially said this when interviewed after the game, I’m paraphrasing but he said something like “I’m now in a position where I can create  more as I’m higher up the pitch as well as drop back and help Sandro as he can with me”.

 

 

I think this is what Howe wanted all along tbf, both of them switching positions on the pitch as and when needed. It just seems to have clicked better once Sandro was given the starting role in the deeper position.

now when an attack breaks down and the play switches, you are immediately looking for Sandro to get back,intercept, break it up. It is actually painful watching Bruno trying to chase down opposition players on the move

Loved when he took over a few times and ran down the clock almost single handed in those final minutes.

Proper right trigger merchant in those moments. Great to see.

There was a moment he received the ball in our box, surrounded by spurs players and just calmly picked his pass, no panic, looked like he was kicking about in the park. Tonali the movie is going to be one hell of a watch, the ultimate comeback story.

My favourite player. An absolute maestro in midfield.

I've taken to calling him and Bruno the Maestro and the Maverick. These 2 together are class and a little more time together they'll be elite. Hate to say it, because I love Joelintoon, but adding another of a similar level would transform us again.

I am ready to believe in Lewis Miley to add to that dynamic. I think he has all the talent to make it to the very top. 
 

No, I am NOT biased because he’s a local lad.

I rate Miley very highly and hope/think you're right. Would be great to see him play a few games to see where he's really at with his progression.

I've noticed this too lately, how often we are surrounded by opponents and just play through the pressure with ease. We've been top quality on the ball in midfield lately. Even Joelinton has done well in tight spaces.

He was masterful in the final 10 minutes man.

Until he’s survived kicking and elbowing David Batty he’s just a pretender.
