How aggressive is he? I would say his style of play is very laid back so not aggressive at all. He times his tackles well. He's more about positioning than rolling his sleeves up and going in for every tackle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think Southgate would have the same set of players playing the same way? Mancini is obviously a better manager than Southgate but it's not like Mancini worked wonders with a plucky underdog Italy side. They were betting on themselves to win before the tournament. Englands biggest issue wasn't Southgate IMO, as always it was them thinking they are better than they are and therefore not being thorough enough.

WHY Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Truly awful game of football, our game yesterday was pretty bad but it was streets ahead of this. I only watched the first half though. Thought the kid was ok, you don’t get much for £16 million these days so would be a decent squad player at that sort of money. The game was so slow it’s hard to judge if he could cope with the speed, power and technical aspects of the PL. It would definitely take him some time to get up to speed. My gut feeling is that he isn’t the type of CDM we need or I was hoping for. It would be a bit of a gamble but could be worth taking. Anymore than the quoted price and I wouldn’t go anywhere near it.

messi11 Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 My biggest worry would be that he lacks the energy to be an Aston Villa PL midfielder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He won a hell a lot of tackles! You have to admit he does walk around a lot, Pace of the game was very slow Its hard to judge how good he really is. Guess we just have to trust our scouts. 15 minutes ago, messi11 said: Totally agree, he's very average. I appreciate Nakamba and Luiz a lot more now.

A lot of people on here made up their mind up that he be a good signing before seeing him play, so works in both ways. Anyways his positioning and ball winning impressed me. The lack of energy he showed tonight concerned me. Hard to judge a player on 1 game 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarry Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 (edited) Some players don’t need to run around like a clearing in the woods, because they have the brain to read the game and be in the right place. Likewise, some don’t need to be aggressive, because their timing is so good. I’ve never seen this player, so can’t really tell if he is that sort. But you can be a DM without perceived energy and aggression. Admittedly, these are rarer players.

Mancini took over the Italian national team that had just failed to qualify for the world cup. The reason they were one of the favourites for the Euros was because of how Mancini got them playing football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
