Pre lockdown Luiz wouldn’t have pulled out the challenge. I mean, he is Brazilian. We're getting the full experience! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looked very composed and seemed do the best he could with the limited or no movement that was ahead of him. Played well I thought. (For man City fans - he was gash) Yeah, I was being hyper critical of him to expect him to be the match winner, when there were XI of them on the pitch. He has set himself high standards, like Jack. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KentVillan Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 I honestly think we're watching a future all-time great here. He makes the game look so easy. He has that thing, which I love in a footballer, where he has loads of tricks in his locker, but he mostly uses them when they make sense. He isn't just showboating. I've no doubt that Jack loves playing with Douglas. It's that Xavi + Iniesta linkup. The passer who can dribble and the dribbler who can pass. I think we can build a really special team around these two. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what happens with a buy back if the player doesn't want to go back?? Maybe, the Manchester rain will convince him to stay? I think a midfield three of Dougie L - SJM - Jack could be really exciting, especially if we can get the pacey attacking three of Traore - Olly - Rashica/Benrhama in front of them. That is as good as anybody outside of the top 6 imho and probably competes with 4 of the 6? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guardiola is probably gone at the end of this season anyway if they don't win the CL which is likely - Liverpool or Bayern most likely imo. Which means that there is a good chance city won't want to buy Dougie if they can get a guaranteed 10 million from us for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may have to go back on equal terms on what he’s on at villa, or it may just be the clubs have agreed the buy back fee but nothing with the player. I don’t think it’d be difficult for a club like City to have the player, his agent and the club all by the bollocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Not getting overrun every week so wont stand out as much. Long let it continue. Got a delicious whipped central cross to the back post this lad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLax Posted September 28, 2020 Author Share Posted September 28, 2020 Was a quieter game for him. Less influential when we don’t have as much of the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnnyp Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Quiet game. A little flimsy going into tackles also. The knock early may have affected him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poitier Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 I thought he was fairly ineffective today, lost a lot of 50/50s and didn’t break up play or pick up loose balls like he has done so well since the restart. Just an off day hopefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
