Marvelous Nakamba

Fantastic! He is improving, think he is better suited to play in a mid two than as the holding midfielder in a mid three, I've kept saying that if we play a mid three Luiz should be the holding mf and he one of the two box to box, but must say that playing in a mid two probably suits him best. He still contributes so much defensively but also has a good engine to go forward and really can pcik out a pass. As the holdin mf he gets a bit stressed with the ball, when he carries it further up the pitch he is more comfortable with the passing. Just need to up his game one more level and start taking shots at goal and get in the box and then he will be truly Marvelous!

My biggest (and only) gripe with him has been that he's not released the ball quickly enough when he wins it.

From the look of it he has been studying Kanté videos like a maniac because in the last 2 games he's been much improved in that aspect.

Wins the ball, instantly plays the simple short pass to a teammate and then moves to be able to receive it again. 87% passing accuracy tonight.

Sure at one point it was a bit comical when he simply refused to cross the ball despite having something like 4 opportunities in the same passage of play but who cares.

If he can continue like this we have the mini-Ndidi we all wanted and needed.

He's looking like the player he was in the first few games.  Went a little astray during the middle of the season so far but is right bang at it again now.
