Twice last season he simply could not handle Pogba. Second game agree. First game Pogba tripped himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he was brilliant yesterday so this is a observation rather than a criticism, but sometimes I think he is confident in the wrong areas. I think we more age/experience he well learn what he can and can’t do in certain areas of the pitch. There was one play yesterday when he nonchalantly flicked the ball over someone’s head and it looked brilliant, but clearly that sort of stuff comes with big risk. Again, not a criticism just an observation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalfTimePost Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 I don't think he'll sign. I think he'll be professional but ultimately move in the summer. Would love to be wrong though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love to be wrong though Depends who's interested. Guess a few europa league clubs will think he's a decent pick up, Roma were sort of rumoured so that's the type who'd probably look at him. 1 year left on his deal next summer so we would have to sell otherwise his value really would drop. Guess that's why we were looking at Ward Prowse as that type is similar although I really think Luiz has so much potential it's untrue. Hopefully we keep him and he keeps on kicking on as he's been very sharp since returning this season which is pleasing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I agree, that's why I think he'll be sold as it'll be our last chance to get value for him and if he won't sign we'd have to really. Hopefully not though because I agree I think he has a very high ceiling of he can perform consistently 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinker Posted September 19, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted September 19, 2021 He's better as a number 8. McGinn would not have played that ball for Cash's goal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always been surprised why over last two years we haven't played combo of Nakamba-Luiz-McGinn more. That's the closest we have to what Liverpool do e.g. three similar midfielders who can all press in three different midfield positions. Even in 2019-20 we only played it a couple of times and seemed to write it off after losing to Liverpool at home when all three played. Obviously more difficult to do now with all our good attacking options to fit in and also how good Ramsey has been so far and he can fill the 8 role aswell.

We've had this discussion before, if I remember correctly TRO, you've advocated DL in the 8 role from day 1 and this in part is why you've always wanted the right holding player behind him. Worst case is that we are now flexible enough to do as we please as Marv looks the part now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing though and it's the difference between us standing still and pushing on, are they consistent enough and that's what we are yet to find out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
