Outstanding performance. Dipped in the second half, but was immense for us.
Yeah I thought so too. More ambitious passing, snappy in the tackle and even some good progressive runs through midfield.I felt he was good today, was actually spraying the ball around a bit.
Watching PSG, remembering he flopped there and we gave them their money back which they used to buy Joao Neves. This guy wouldnt play for any of top 8 clubs in europe and you have people here justifying his presence.
100% agree. He should not be playing the final at all!He cannot, under any cost play in the final. Most talentless footballer I've ever seen at the club, and he's nowhere near good "defensively" as everyone claims
Real Madrid used to do this with Casemiro when he was playing with Modric and Kroos, useless in possession so they’d leave him the most forward midfielder in possession. That’s Ugarte, but so much worseFor some reason he seemed to be the more advanced CM playing like an 8. That’s not his position at all.

Watching PSG pop the ball around in midfield, then watching him today. You can see why he got sold.
We have no realistic opinions.He cannot, under any cost play in the final. Most talentless footballer I've ever seen at the club, and he's nowhere near good "defensively" as everyone claims

I think he's a good player. Definitely not technically good enough for Enrique, and I do wonder if Amorim was fine with him being sold to PSG. He's a 7/10 player so far IMV.
How the feck do we keep doing this?You play him where you play Fred; he’s a terrier that hunts high up the pitch then lays it off simply to far superior technicians. He can also then get away with more nibbling tactical fouls before the invariable yellow.
He’s a scary player to have sat deep. The game quickly overwhelms him and he cannot handle an intense press. He becomes a turnover machine under pressure and also fouls excessively to make up for his own errors.
We’ve bought him for so much money, yet he’s destined to be a sub, the moment we can fully upgrade the midfield. It’s a costly buy for what he is and what will eventually happen to him.
