villaglint Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 A very solid performance, looked at home in a team full of talent. Wasn’t worked too much defensively but showed some good passing. Interesting to watch Konrad Latimer play who a few on here have mentioned. Good assist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kid will be fine but wish our fans wouldn’t constantly over hype our players. You don't need someone to have an outstanding game to tell they have ability. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KentVillan Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 Hard to judge a DM when his team is dominating possession. Seemed like a decent enough performance to me. But from what I saw, I’m going to go with future Ballon d’Or winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post thunderball Posted June 11, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 11, 2022 (edited) Wow, we have a very decent player in this guy. Highest rated player of the evening at 7.3, very accomplished all round performance Edited June 11, 2022 by thunderball 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWARLEY2 Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 Thats what we like to see. No hype. The real deal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sulberto21 Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 The way to judge his performance is to compare it to the other midfielders who played in the centre and ask if he looked out of place? Answer is no - good performance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delphinho123 Posted June 11, 2022 Author Share Posted June 11, 2022 (edited) It was interesting to see how deep he plays. He almost sits in between the centre halves at times, and rarely looks to get forward albeit he does sometimes find himself in advanced positions. It’s clear that both him and Carlos will add some steel to our side. If we can get somebody in to compete/displace McGinn who is more comfortable on the ball in deeper positions, our back 5 will be so much better protected. I’d love Gallagher. A midfield three of Kamara, Gallagher and Ramsey would be excellent, if not a little young but that doesn’t bother me all that much. I expect us to concede fewer goals next season.

I think that the steel they will add is only half of it. Seems that Carlos and Kamara are very good passers of the ball as well. Maybe they will take the ball off Tyrone in order to progress it and let Ty just defend. And their ability on the ball will give us far more control of the game. Admittedly i didnt see the whole game but the little i have seen of it suggests that we have a proper player on our hands. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A solid anchor and two very busy more attacking box to box players. The energy we have always looked to SJM to provide would be hugely upgraded. SJM I’d keep plus we've got young players coming through. That midfield wouldn’t be the passive damp squib we’ve unfortunately got used to for years. Yes it’s a young midfield but there are a few older heads in the team now. There’ll be the odd hiccup but a busy midfield, is for me the key to a good modern progressive team. With the likes of Coutinho and Buendia in front of them with Digne and Cash overlapping giving wide options we could be a very dangerous team. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue I have with Luiz is when he loses his concentration and the game starts passing him by entirely. A version of him that doesn't suffer that weakness would solidify the midfield enormously. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 I need to see him in the Premier League. Against Austria in alot of those clips he's in acres of space and is not really having to fight for the ball. I'm not getting carried away just yet, but does look a prospect.

Or at least that's how I've always understood the term. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
