Definitely a deep lying play maker and not a destroyer. Can be a bit suspect off the ball and his tackling is woeful. Defo needs Gueye alongside him
However he is immensely tidy on the ball, never seems to lose it, and his distribution is immaculate. There's a lot to be said for weighting every simple five, ten and fifteen yard pass with no bobble straight to the blokes feet or right into his stride. It looks easy but it isn't
Thought he controlled the game first half with Idrissa
Maybe a bit hyperbolic but it's not great imo.Is his tackling woeful? I can't say I've ever thought it was even bad, he's just pretty good at everything he does in my opinion
Adding to this, I like that for the most part he takes a crack at a long goal when it presents itself instead of the cute extra pass. Sometimes you just have to let instinct kick in and go for it.Is his tackling woeful? I can't say I've ever thought it was even bad, he's just pretty good at everything he does in my opinion
Completely agree. He is excellent on the ball. Lovely touch and composure and seems to pick a good forward perfectly weighted pass all the time.Definitely a deep lying play maker and not a destroyer. Can be a bit suspect off the ball and his tackling is woeful. Defo needs Gueye alongside him

Do we have a buy obligation on him ? 30 million steep i agree but are lyon not in trouble financially ?He’s playing a role, he’s playing well.
He's not a 30 mill pound footballer though.

At the price Lyon agreed as the option then not a chance in hell we should pay that, if they'd renegotiate down then around 15m he'd represent a decent deal
Overall doubt Lyon will want to take that much of a loss on him as they paid overall around 30+ million including a huge loan fee the season before he signed
