Show me where he dribbles through people in the middle of the pitch, he does his best work on the wing.Players like Dembele, coutinho, Barkley even at times beat players in the middle of the pitch, It takes ball control of the highest quality.
Christ klavan struggles against this, that. We're playing against Guardiola's thought experiments, not a machine you have to be near perfect against. Loads of room for manoeuvre, even with the caveat that they are a very good side if you let them get going. They are the exact profile we don't let play, though. We'll see.
Anyway whatever the result, this is exactly the fun, the mindset you want to be going into big games with. For too many years it's been a depressingly foregone conclusion. Come on reds!
He hadn't played as if he was on fire, more the slight breeze cutting across New Brighton on a summer's day than El Nino, the force of nature.
I said middle third not middle; he's mostly played wider for Arsenal. He's an elite transitional ball carrier and he's a fantastic dribbler Anyway its pointless aruging - he's going to play a ton for us as an AM and show you it on a regular basis.
